What are cybersecurity testing services?

Cybersecurity testing services check how well your whole organisation is protected, not just one application. They combine assessment, technical testing, people and process checks, and ongoing retesting into one programme, so you can see your security improving over time.

How is this different from your other security testing services?

Our specialist services, such as penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, SAST and DAST, and red teaming, each answer one question about one area. A cybersecurity testing programme brings them together with posture assessment, policy review, vendor risk and incident readiness, planned around your risks and run on a schedule.

Usually with a security posture assessment and threat model. Together they show where you stand and which risks matter most, so the rest of the programme is planned around real priorities rather than a generic checklist.

What does a security posture or maturity assessment involve?

Interviews with your team, a review of your controls, policies and records, and light technical checks. You receive a maturity score, the main gaps and a prioritised roadmap, measured against the standards you answer to.

Do you test networks, servers and cloud accounts?

Yes. We test internal and external networks, servers and services, review cloud accounts on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, and review firewall rules and system configuration.

Do you test endpoints and IoT devices?

Yes. We check laptops, workstations and connected devices for weak settings, missing protection, default credentials and insecure firmware or communication.

Do you test our people as well as our technology?

Yes, if you include it in scope. We run agreed phishing simulations and incident response tabletop exercises. Results are reported by team and process, never to shame individuals.

What is a tabletop exercise?

A guided discussion where your team works through a realistic incident step by step. It tests decisions, roles and communication without touching live systems, and ends with agreed improvements to your response plan.

Can you review our vendors and third parties?

Yes. We review suppliers and integrations that can reach your systems or data, assess the risk each one adds, and give you an action list per vendor.

Which standards do you follow?

We follow OWASP and NIST SP 800-115 for technical testing and use CVSS to rate findings. For compliance, we map results to SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA or GDPR, depending on what you answer to.

How often should we run cybersecurity testing?

It depends on how often your systems change. A common pattern is a yearly posture assessment and tabletop exercise, quarterly technical testing, and checks linked to major releases.

What will we receive?

A posture and maturity report, a threat model, a prioritised roadmap, technical findings reports with CVSS ratings, policy and vendor reviews, exercise reports, and trend reports if you run an ongoing programme. Fixed findings are retested free of charge.

Is our information kept confidential?

Yes. We sign your NDA before any access. Access is limited to the named testers on your project, and reports and evidence are encrypted in transit and at rest.

Do you retest after fixes?

Yes, we retest after fixes, free of charge. Once your team has fixed the findings that matter most, we retest each one and confirm whether it is closed, then give you a remediation plan and a closure report. Testing also repeats on a schedule, so you can show your security improving over time.

How long does it take, and what does it cost?

It depends on the size of your organisation and which components you include. We agree the scope with you first, then send a timeline and a fixed quote before any work starts.

Cybersecurity Testing Services

One security programme for your whole organisation: assess where you stand, test what matters, fix it, and prove it stays fixed.

Most security testing looks at one app or one network at a time. Our cybersecurity testing services look at the whole picture, from your policies, suppliers and people to your networks, cloud, devices and code. Everything is planned around your real risks and retested on a schedule, so you can show your security improving over time.

[ Why a cybersecurity programme ]

Security isn’t one test. It’s a cycle.

A single penetration test tells you how one system looked on one day. Attackers don’t stick to that scope. They look for the weakest point anywhere: an old firewall rule, a supplier with too much access, a laptop that missed an update, or a busy employee who clicks the wrong link. A cybersecurity testing programme covers all of it, in the right order, and keeps checking as your business changes.

One view of your risk

Findings from every area in one place, ranked by what matters most to your business.

Testing that follows your risks

A threat model decides what gets tested and how often, not a generic checklist.

People and process included

Phishing, incident readiness and policies tested alongside your technology.

Progress you can show

Maturity scores and trend reports for your board, auditors and customers.

[ What we cover ]

Twelve services across four phases, one plan

Assess where you stand, test what an attacker would target, prepare your people, then keep it all on a schedule. Pick the services you need, or let the planner below suggest a starting set.

Security posture & maturity assessment

Assess

View service

A structured review of how well your organisation protects itself today, across people, process and technology, measured against the standards you answer to.

What we look at

Controls across access, data, infrastructure and development
How security work is owned, planned and reported
Gaps against frameworks such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2
A maturity score you can track over time

When you need it

At the start of a programme, and once a year to measure progress.

The problem it preventsSpending on security without knowing where the real gaps are

Threat modeling

Assess

We map how your systems and data flow, who might target them and how, so testing and fixes focus on the threats that actually apply to you.

What we look at

Data flows, trust boundaries and entry points
Likely attackers and what they would be after
Design weaknesses before code is written
A ranked list of threats to test against

When you need it

Before building a new product or feature, and after major architecture changes.

The problem it preventsTesting everything equally and missing what matters

Policy & documentation review

Assess

We review your security policies, procedures and records for gaps, and check whether what’s written matches how your team actually works.

What we look at

Access, password, data and incident policies
Change, backup and recovery procedures
Evidence auditors and customers ask for
Gaps between policy and real practice

When you need it

Before audits and customer security reviews.

The problem it preventsPolicies that look fine on paper and fail in practice

Third-party & vendor risk review

Assess

We review the suppliers, integrations and services that can reach your systems or data, and how much risk each one adds.

What we look at

Vendors with access to your systems or data
Integration permissions and shared accounts
Supplier security answers and evidence
A risk rating and action list per vendor

When you need it

When onboarding key suppliers, and during annual reviews.

The problem it preventsA breach that starts with a supplier, not with you

Network & infrastructure testing

Test

Your internal and external networks, servers and services tested for weaknesses an attacker could use to get in or move around.

What we look at

External and internal network exposure
Servers, services and patch levels
Segmentation between networks and environments
Remote access and admin interfaces

When you need it

Quarterly, and after infrastructure changes.

The problem it preventsOne weak server giving access to everything behind it

Endpoint & IoT device testing

Test

We test laptops, workstations and connected devices for weak settings, missing protection and insecure firmware or communication.

What we look at

Device hardening and security settings
Endpoint protection and update coverage
IoT firmware, default credentials and services
How devices talk to your network and cloud

When you need it

When rolling out new devices, and for connected products you ship.

The problem it preventsA single device becoming the way in

Cloud security posture review

Test

View service

Your cloud accounts reviewed for the settings that most often cause exposure, from identity and storage to logging and encryption.

What we look at

Identity and access rules with more rights than needed
Public storage and exposed services
Network rules between cloud resources
Logging, monitoring and encryption settings

When you need it

After migrations, new accounts or regions, and on a regular schedule.

The problem it preventsOne misconfigured setting exposing data to the internet

Firewall & configuration review

Test

We review firewall rules and the security settings of key systems for rules that are too open, out of date or no longer needed.

What we look at

Firewall and network access rules
Unused, overlapping or overly broad rules
Server, database and service configuration
Configuration drift between environments

When you need it

Once a year, and after network changes.

The problem it preventsOld rules quietly leaving doors open

Security code review

Test

View service

Testers read the code that matters most, such as sign-in, payments, permissions and data handling, for flaws automated tools can’t reason about.

What we look at

Authentication, authorization and sessions
Input handling and data protection
Business logic in payments and pricing
Cryptography and secrets in code

When you need it

Before major releases, and for high-risk parts of the codebase.

The problem it preventsLogic flaws no scanner can describe

Security awareness & phishing simulation

Prepare

Agreed phishing simulations show how staff respond to realistic messages, followed by focused guidance. Results are reported by team and process, never to shame individuals.

What we look at

Phishing simulations designed around your business
How quickly suspicious messages get reported
Teams and roles that need more support
Awareness guidance based on real results

When you need it

Twice a year, and after onboarding large groups of new staff.

The problem it preventsStrong technology undone by one convincing email

Incident response readiness & tabletop exercises

Prepare

We run a guided, discussion-based exercise around a realistic incident, so your team can practise decisions, roles and communication before it’s real.

What we look at

Who decides what, and how fast
Escalation, communication and customer notice
Gaps in your response plan and contact lists
Actions agreed to improve readiness

When you need it

Once a year, and after changes to your team or response plan.

The problem it preventsConfusion and delay on the day something goes wrong

Continuous security testing programme

Sustain

All of the above on a planned schedule, with testing tied to your releases, findings tracked to closure and a trend report showing risk going down.

What we look at

A yearly testing calendar agreed with you
Testing linked to releases and infrastructure changes
Findings tracked in Jira or DefectDojo
Quarterly trend reports for leadership

When you need it

When you want security testing as a routine, not a one-off project.

The problem it preventsA clean report in January and new exposure by March

[ Programme vs single tests ]

A single test answers one question. A programme keeps answering.

Our specialist services still do the deep technical work. The programme decides which of them you need, when, and in what order, then tracks every finding to closure.
