Penetration Testing
Discover IT Security vulnerabilities before others do. Protect your company from cyber threats.
Penetration testing simulates real-world cyberattacks to identify weaknesses in your systems before attackers can exploit them. Our tailored tests help you identify security gaps and implement proactive protective measures. Protect your business through targeted testing and strengthen your security strategy long-term.
Effectively Defend Against Cyberattacks
In an increasingly digital world, cyber threats are on the rise, along with the sophistication of attacks. Companies of all sizes are potential targets for hackers who exploit security vulnerabilities to steal data or cripple systems. Proactive protection is essential to effectively counter these risks.
Uncover Vulnerabilities Before Others Do
Effective penetration testing (PenTest) simulates real-world cyberattacks to identify security gaps in networks, applications, and systems at an early stage. Through targeted attack scenarios and in-depth analysis, potential vulnerabilities can be uncovered and systematically addressed.

External Network Testing
External Network Testing
External network tests simulate attacks on your IT infrastructure from outside your organization. The goal is to identify vulnerabilities that cybercriminals could exploit via the internet. We examine:
- Firewall and perimeter security
- Exposed ports and services
- Potentially vulnerable external applications
Our aim is to ensure that your external systems are protected against targeted attacks.
Internal Network Testing
Internal Network Testing
Internal network tests focus on security risks within your organization. We simulate an attacker who has already gained access to your internal network, such as through a compromised workstation. We assess:
- Network segmentation and isolation
- Access rights and user accounts
- Security of internal applications and services
These tests help uncover vulnerabilities that could arise from insider threats or compromised devices.
Web Application Testing
Web Application Testing
Our web application tests focus on your web-based applications, which are often prime targets for attackers. We identify vulnerabilities such as:
- SQL injection
- Cross-site scripting (XSS)
- Weaknesses in authentication and authorization mechanisms
Through detailed testing, we ensure that your web applications are robust and secure.
Mobile App Security
Mobile App Security
Mobile applications pose unique challenges for IT security. We assess your apps for:
- Insecure storage of sensitive data
- Vulnerabilities in application logic
- Lack of encryption and insecure communication channels
Our tests ensure that your mobile applications are secure and trustworthy.
Social Engineering
Social Engineering
The human factor is often the greatest vulnerability. Through social engineering tests, we simulate attacks such as:
- Phishing emails
- Manipulative phone calls
- Physical access to sensitive areas
The goal is to raise employee awareness and assess the effectiveness of your internal security policies.
