Frequently asked questions
Welcome to our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section! Here, we have compiled a list of commonly asked questions to provide you with quick and helpful answers.
What is Penetration Testing?
Penetration testing, or pen testing, is the practice of testing or trying to hack a computer system, network, or web application to find security vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. It simulates an attack from a malicious outsider or insider to identify weaknesses.
How do you ensure your Penetration Testing Services meet compliance with industry regulations and standards?
We base our penetration tests on globally recognized standards and frameworks such as the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP). Although, we understand that every company's requirements are unique based on their industry, technology, size, and business model. Our penetration test reports provide detailed documentation of testing performed, vulnerabilities found, recommended remediation, and re-testing that are aligned with specific regulatory standards relevant to your organization.
What distinguishes your services from other penetration testing providers?
Our Focus is Penetration Testing for small and mid-size businesses. We provide that extra effort white glove approach to provide the maximum amount of value possible.
What is the point of Penetration Testing
Cybersecurity often consists of implementing complex frameworks and practices across complex organizations. This security is often a baseline that addresses the majority of potential security issues. Penetration Tests help to identify and fix any remaining security vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by attackers. Penetration tests are often used to provide the proof of concept.
Tell us about the team that will be conducting our penetration testing?
Our Team is 100% U.S Based. Everyone has at least 5 years of enterprise penetration testing experience and have all attained industry certifications including OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional) and CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional).
What is the difference between a Vulnerability Assessment and a Penetration Test?
Vulnerability assessment are often 100% automated and involve scanning for vulnerabilities. Penetration testing is a more aggressive approach that not only involves active hands on efforts to identify vulnerabilities but also attempts to exploit them to understand the real-world effectiveness of existing security measures.
