In the research, education and innovation sectors there is an increasing need for cost effective penetration testing, which test systems and networks against real world cyber-attacks scenarios.

For these reasons, we offer a bespoke penetration testing service, which helps you to identify vulnerabilities, access risks and take corrective action.

Penetration testing is not just so you can satisfy your own organisation that you are mitigating cyber security threats, providing increased peace of mind whilst also ensuring you comply with third party standards, for example when you connect to the public sector networks, for GDPR, for Cyber Essentials compliance or processing credit card payments (PCI-DSS).

As part of our penetration testing service, we can perform regular IT Health Checks (ITHC) too. An ITHC will provide you with the peace of mind that all systems are running smoothly and staying up to date on best practises. By testing both network infrastructure and processes for security purposes, this health check ensures nothing falls through the cracks in terms of protecting your business’ information assets and meets the requirements laid out in the Education and Skills Funding Agency funding agreement.

All penetration testing work is conducted by our team of in-house cyber security experts, at a cost-effective daily rate.
