Grey box pentest
Assess an organization's vulnerability to insider threats. Some internal access and internal information.
More efficient than black-box and saves on time and money. No real cons for this type of testing.
White box pentest
Simulate an attack where an attacker gains access to a privileged account. Complete open access to applications and systems
More comprehensive, less likely to miss a vulnerability and faster. More data is required to be released to the tester and more expensive

Pentesting Methodology
In the face of cyber threats, a proactive and thorough evaluation is essential. Our Pentesting Methodology offers a comprehensive frameworks to identify and exploit vulnerabilities, ensuring system security and robustness.
Gathering information
We commence by meticulously collecting vital information regarding your web application's architecture, going through server details and functionalities, establishing a strong foundation for the upcoming penetration testing process.
Threat modeling
In this phase, we craft detailed threat models to identify and visualize potential attack paths, aiming to architect a defense strategy that safeguards your essential assets and fortifies against cyber threats.
Vulnerability analysis
Next, we employ sophisticated tools to conduct a thorough vulnerability analysis of your application, offering a panoramic view of your security landscape to discern and catalogue potential points of weakness.
Exploitation
Here, we undertake real-world attack simulations in a secure environment, leveraging identified vulnerabilities to gauge the possible extent of damage and depth of unauthorized access to your system.
Post exploitation
After successful exploitation, we focus on lateral movement, privilege escalation, and gathering valuable data to assess how far we can penetrate and identify further vulnerabilities for exploitation.
Reporting
Concluding our service, we furnish a detailed report encapsulating the vulnerabilities detected, along with informed recommendations to bolster your web application's security infrastructure moving forward.

Pentest / Penetration Testing FAQ's
What is pentesting?
A pentest, short for penetration testing, is a simulated cyber-attack conducted on a computer system, network, or web application to identify and assess its security vulnerabilities, helping to bolster its defense capabilities against real cyber threats.
When should a business conduct a pentest?
Conducting a pentest is critical when launching new systems or applications, following security incidents to prevent future attacks, and on a regular basis to maintain the robustness of your cybersecurity defenses, thereby helping to secure sensitive data and maintain your business's reputation.
Why is pentesting an effective cybersecurity strategy?
A pentest is effective because it provides a real-world simulation of potential cyber attacks, helping to identify and rectify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by malicious actors. This proactive approach significantly strengthens your system's defense mechanisms and ensures business continuity.
How does a pentest differ from a vulnerability scan?
1. What are the limitations of vulnerability scans in detecting vulnerabilities that deviate from known patterns?
Vulnerability scans may lack the intelligence to detect vulnerabilities that deviate from known patterns, as they are primarily useful for quickly identifying common security flaws.
2. When is a Pentest considered a vulnerability scan?
A Pentest is categorized as a vulnerability scan when the majority of the testing is automated.
3. How do creativity and knowledge play a crucial role in identifying risks during a Pentest?
Creativity and knowledge are essential in a pentest as they aid in uncovering risks that would otherwise go unnoticed.
4. What is the role of an experienced and specialized ethical hacker in a Pentest?
In a Pentest, the majority of the testing is manually conducted by an experienced and specialized ethical hacker.
What methods are commonly used during a pentest?
1. How should the choice of Pentest method be made based on circumstances?
The choice of the Pentest method should be based on the circumstances, taking into account factors such as the specific goals of the test, the level of access and information available, the nature of the system being tested, and the desired depth of analysis. It's important to assess the risks and priorities of the system to determine the most suitable Pentest method for the situation.
2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each Pentest method (black box, grey box, white box)?
Each Pentest method (black box, grey box, white box) has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, black box testing can simulate the perspective of an external attacker but may overlook internal vulnerabilities. Grey box testing combines elements of both black and white box methods, offering a balance between realism and insight. White box testing provides detailed knowledge of the system but might miss how an actual attacker would approach the system.
3. How are black box, grey box, and white box methods distinguished in Pentesting?
Black box, grey box, and white box methods are distinguished based on the level of information and access provided to the tester. Black box testing requires no prior knowledge or access to the system, grey box testing requires partial knowledge or access, and white box testing requires complete knowledge and access to the system.
4. What are the different testing methods used in a Pentest?
The different testing methods used in a Pentest are black box, grey box, and white box.
What are the benefits of pentesting for my business?
Investing in pentesting services offers multiple benefits for your business. It helps protect sensitive data, maintain customer trust, and avoid potential legal ramifications associated with data breaches. Furthermore, it aids in meeting regulatory compliance requirements, enhancing your business's security posture, and safeguarding your reputation in the industry. Through regular pentesting, you can maintain a robust cybersecurity strategy, ready to mitigate evolving cyber threats effectively.
How can organizations identify a trustworthy Penetration Testing (Pentest) organization and what qualifications should Pentesters possess?
Organizations can identify a trustworthy Pentest organization by looking for a company that is CCV-PENTEST Accredited. These security companies have pentesters with qualifications such as the necessary certifications like OSCP, OSCE, and OSWE, which demonstrate knowledge, perseverance, and creativity.
These pentesters also have a Certificate of Conduct (VOG). It is crucial that the Pentest is primarily conducted through human effort rather than automated tools, as human insight and creativity are essential for a successful and thorough evaluation. By ensuring that the Pentesters have the right certifications and prioritizing human involvement in the testing process, organizations can find a reliable Pentest organization for their security needs.
