In today’s connected world, more systems are exposed to the internet than ever, often without organisations realising it. A single misconfigured or unpatched server can be discovered within minutes by automated bots continuously scanning for known vulnerabilities. Once found, weaknesses can be exploited in many ways: launching attacks against others, storing illegal content, defacing websites, or encrypting your data for ransom.
More sophisticated threats, known as Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), are designed to quietly infiltrate your systems and steal sensitive information over time. Whether you are a small charity or a large enterprise, your systems hold value, and attackers will attempt to find and exploit it.
External Assessments
Simulate attacks from the outside world, identifying internet-facing systems, outdated services, open ports, and unpatched software that could be targeted by attackers.
Internal Assessments
Focus on threats originating inside your network: rogue employees, compromised accounts, or malware that bypasses perimeter defences.
Web Application Testing
Identify flaws in custom web apps, portals, and APIs using OWASP Top 10 principles, including injection flaws, authentication weaknesses, logic errors, session handling, and more.
Mobile App Testing
Examine mobile applications across Android and iOS, including secure data handling, API usage, local storage, and improper platform use.
Vulnerability Assessments
Our scanning tools and methodologies highlight known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security oversights. We provide clear, prioritised reports with recommended fixes, not just raw scan output.
A programme of regular assessments throughout the year ensures your systems remain protected, compliant, and responsive to new threats as they emerge.
Both external and internal scans are available:
- External: identifies internet-facing assets and their exposure to public threats
- Internal: uncovers risks within your network that perimeter controls miss
Assessments can be scheduled as one-off reviews or as part of a recurring programme. Many organisations choose quarterly scans to maintain a continuous picture of their exposure, particularly where infrastructure changes frequently or compliance requirements demand regular evidence of due diligence.
Every report we produce is written for a real audience: technical findings are explained clearly, risks are rated by severity, and each issue comes with practical remediation guidance. We do not deliver raw scanner output and call it a report.
Penetration Testing
Penetration testing goes beyond standard scanning. It is a controlled, ethical simulation of a real-world cyber attack, where our expert testers take on the role of an attacker, using manual techniques, automated tools, and creative thinking to test your defences.
Unlike automated scanning, a skilled penetration tester can chain together low-severity findings to demonstrate a realistic attack path, identify logic flaws that scanners miss entirely, and test how your systems behave under active exploitation rather than passive observation.
Our penetration tests are scoped carefully with you before work begins, so testing targets the areas of greatest risk to your organisation. Findings are documented with step-by-step evidence, clear risk ratings, and practical remediation advice. We also offer follow-up retesting to confirm that issues have been resolved effectively.
Testing can be conducted under different assumptions: black box (no prior knowledge, simulating an external attacker), grey box (partial knowledge, simulating a compromised account or supplier), or white box (full access to documentation and source code, maximising coverage). We will recommend the most appropriate approach for your goals and budget.
Physical Security Testing
Even the best digital defences can be undermined if an attacker gains physical access to your premises. Our physical security assessments simulate real-world intrusion attempts, testing the effectiveness of your physical barriers, access controls, and staff response.
We assess how easily an outsider could gain entry, access systems, or move around unnoticed, including door security, visitor handling procedures, sensitive area protection, and overall staff awareness.
