Test Your Defences - Before Someone Else Does

Our Approach to Penetration Testing

We combine automated tools with deep human expertise to simulate realistic attack scenarios - without putting your operations at risk. Every engagement is led by our certified penetration tester, ensuring your environment is tested with the same mindset and tactics used by real-world adversaries. No two environments are the same, so we tailor each test to your specific systems, business objectives, and risk profile.

Our process includes:

• Scoping and threat modelling based on your environment
• Active testing to identify and exploit vulnerabilities safely
• Detailed documentation of methods, findings, and risk levels
• Recommendations prioritised by business impact
• Optional retesting after remediation to verify fixes

What Is Penetration Testing?

Penetration Testing (or pen testing) is an ethical hacking exercise that exposes how your systems would stand up against an actual cyberattack. It’s not just about finding vulnerabilities - it’s about understanding how those weaknesses could be chained together to cause serious damage.

OnGuard Penetration Testing helps you:

• Uncover security flaws in networks, systems, and web applications
• Understand the real-world consequences of those flaws
• Prioritise fixes based on impact, not just severity
• Strengthen internal policies, training, and controls
• Prepare for audits, certifications, and compliance requirements
