Penetration Testing
CREST-certified penetration testing services to identify vulnerabilities in your networks, applications, and systems before malicious actors can exploit them.
Service Overview
CREST-Certified Penetration Testing
Cipher Knights provides comprehensive penetration testing services conducted by CREST-certified ethical hackers. We simulate real-world attack scenarios to identify security weaknesses across your networks, web applications, mobile apps, cloud infrastructure, and internal systems.
Our Testing Methodology
We follow industry-standard frameworks including OWASP, PTES, and NIST, combined with our proprietary testing methodologies developed through years of hands-on experience. Our testing covers the full kill chain—from initial reconnaissance through to exploitation and post-exploitation—giving you a complete picture of your security posture.
Types of Testing We Offer
- External Network Penetration Testing: Identify vulnerabilities accessible from the internet
- Internal Network Penetration Testing: Simulate an attacker who has gained internal access
- Web Application Testing: OWASP Top 10 coverage including SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF
- Mobile Application Testing: iOS and Android security assessments
- Cloud Infrastructure Testing: AWS, Azure, and GCP security reviews
- Social Engineering: Phishing simulations and physical security assessments
Actionable Results
You'll receive a comprehensive report detailing every vulnerability discovered, ranked by severity with CVSS scores, along with clear remediation guidance. We don't just find problems—we help you fix them.
