Looking for an award-winning company to do your external pentest? Reach out today for a custom quote. We can help meet your requirements, budget, and timeline.
What an outsider can already see
External testing is the equivalent of testing the locks and fences of a physical facility. We assess internet-facing infrastructure the way an outsider would: no insider knowledge, no asset list handed to us up front.
Reconnaissance that finds the forgotten
We enumerate public-facing assets from the outside. That routinely surfaces hosts and services that are not on the asset inventory — forgotten staging, a subdomain pointed at a decommissioned provider, an admin interface that was only ever meant to be temporary.
Proof, not a scanner export
We reproduce real-world attack patterns against what we find, to establish which exposures are genuinely reachable. A finding that cannot be exploited in your environment is noted honestly as such.
How an external engagement runs
Your network perimeter is the first line of defense, and it is the part of your
estate that every opportunistic attacker on the internet is already looking at.
We take a holistic view: the perimeter and the interior are two halves of the
same attack path, and testing only one of them tells you half of a story. If
you are starting with one engagement, start here — then decide whether an
internal test should follow the chain inward.
What you receive
Every engagement ends with a report you can hand to an engineer and a debrief
you can hand to a board. Findings are prioritized by exploitability and impact
in your environment, not by a generic severity score. Once you have remediated,
we retest to confirm the fix holds.
Common questions
What clients ask before we start
Should we start with external or internal testing?
External first, if you are choosing one. It covers the surface anyone on the internet can reach today. Internal testing answers a different question: what happens after someone gets in. Most organizations end up wanting both.
Do you need credentials or network access?
External testing needs nothing but your written authorization and a scope. We do not ask for an asset list up front; discovering what is actually exposed is part of the work.
Will testing take systems offline?
No. We agree constraints, blackout windows, and escalation contacts before anything is touched, and we avoid denial-of-service techniques unless you explicitly ask us to test resilience.
