Network Penetration Testing
See your network the way an attacker does — from the internet, and from inside your office. We identify what’s exposed, exploit what’s weak and show you exactly how far an intruder could get.
// External
Your internet-facing perimeter
Everything an attacker can reach without credentials: firewalls, VPNs, remote access gateways, email, exposed services and forgotten hosts.
- Attack-surface discovery & asset validation
- VPN, RDP, and remote-access exposure
- Vulnerable and end-of-life services
- Credential attacks against exposed logins (coordinated)
- Email security & DNS misconfigurations
// Internal
Inside your network
The view from a compromised laptop or a malicious insider — the scenario behind most ransomware incidents.
- Network segmentation & lateral movement
- Active Directory privilege escalation
- Credential capture & relay (LLMNR, NTLM)
- Unpatched servers, workstations and appliances
- Sensitive data in file shares
// Approach
Manual testing, guided by real attacker tradecraft.
Scanners find the obvious. We go further — validating every result, chaining low-severity issues into real impact, and mapping our work to the MITRE ATT&CK framework so your team understands how each technique fits into a real attack.
Testing follows NIST SP 800-115 and PTES guidance, with clear rules of engagement, agreed testing windows and immediate notification of any critical finding.
// Process
From scoping to retest.
Scope
We confirm IP ranges, locations and goals, then agree the rules of engagement and testing window in writing.
Discover
Enumerate hosts, services and identities to build an accurate picture of your attack surface.
Exploit
Safely exploit weaknesses and chain them together to demonstrate realistic business impact.
Report & retest
Deliver prioritized findings and remediation guidance, then retest fixes to confirm closure.
// FAQ
Network testing questions
Do you need to be on-site for an internal test?
Usually not. Most internal tests are performed remotely through a small virtual machine or device placed on your network. On-site testing is available in Southwest Michigan and the surrounding region when it makes sense.
Will you test our firewall and VPN?
Yes. Perimeter devices such as firewalls, VPN concentrators and remote-access gateways are some of the most frequently exploited systems and are a core part of every external test.
Can testing satisfy our cyber-insurance or compliance requirement?
In most cases, yes. We provide a report and an attestation letter suitable for insurance carriers, auditors and customer security questionnaires. Let us know the specific requirement during scoping.
