Internal Pen Testing
Why is internal network testing important? It’s like fixing a leaky roof before the rain comes. By proactively searching for weaknesses inside your network, you can patch them up before attackers can exploit them. This helps prevent data breaches, financial losses, and keeps your valuable information safe from modern cyber threats.

The different types of Internal testing
During an Internal Pen Test our expert teams explore your internal systems, looking for weaknesses that could allow someone (even someone already inside!) to steal data, mess with your servers, or disrupt your operations.
Benefits of Internal Pen testing
Uncover Hidden Weaknesses
Internal pen testing acts like an X-ray for your network, revealing vulnerabilities you might miss with everyday monitoring.
Minimise Insider Threat Risk
Disgruntled employees or compromised accounts can pose a serious threat. Internal pen testing simulates insider attacks.
Reduce Risk of Data Breaches
nternal vulnerabilities are a major cause of data breaches. Regular pen testing helps identify and address these weaknesses, significantly reducing the risk of sensitive data exposure.
Strengthen Overall Security Posture
By identifying and addressing internal vulnerabilities, you significantly improve your organisation's overall cybersecurity posture.
Boost Employee Security Awareness
The pen testing process can be a valuable learning experience for your employees. By understanding the tactics used, they become more vigilant.
Improve Regulatory Compliance
Many regulations require organizations to have strong internal controls in place. Internal pen testing demonstrates your commitment to data security.
Ready to fortify your Internal Network?
Contact us today for a free consultation. We’ll discuss your specific needs and recommend the best pen testing service for your organisation. Let’s work together to build a robust security shield and keep your systems safe from evolving cyber threats.
Following an initial consultation and guided by your objectives, we’ll work with you to build a bespoke engagement.
We can capture this initial scoping information via a screen-sharing call, a scoping form or where necessary, an in-person meeting.
During this phase, our expert teams will use the latest tactics, techniques and procedures to gather as much security information as possible about the in-scope targets.
Our expert teams use the latest security tooling and industry knowledge & expertise to conduct detailed analysis, discovering vulnerabilities within your chosen scope.
Using bespoke tooling, exploits and off-the-shelf software, our expert teams will safely look to understand and exploit the vulnerabilities discovered within the context of your scope.
During this phase, our expert teams will apply contextualised information relating to the discovered vulnerabilities. This might be a combination of CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System), Impact or Probability or even EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System). They’ll also look to elevate privileges and pivot into other systems (where appropriate).
During the conclusion of the engagement our expert teams will create a comprehensive report with their findings. The report will include an executive summary, details on vulnerabilities and confirmed proof-of-concept exploitations. We also encourage our testers to use plain English and to provide further info to help speed up remediation activities.
Following you recieving and reviewing the report, we’ll arrange a wash-up session to allow you to discuss the findings with the pen tester and also talk about follow-up consultancy.
