Penetration testing is an ethical and authorised cyberattack on a client’s computer systems. Using the same tools and techniques used by real attackers, the aim is to test if we can compromise your systems and gain access to corporate networks deemed to be inaccessible. Most security consultants and testers will find low-hanging fruit, or obvious vulnerabilities easily. A great security tester however, should be able to exploit your systems deeper, and more importantly help you mitigate any risks these vulnerabilities can cause. #### Proud to be CREST Accredited & Certified.

[VIEW CERTIFICATIONS](https://www.itsec.com.au/about-us/certifications-and-accreditations?hsLang=en-au) ITSEC has an industry-leading team of highly qualified and experienced cyber security experts that have delivered thousands of successful penetration testing projects. Our team have an extensive background in information security consulting services and their experience covers a wide range of security domains including internal networks, web and mobile applications. ## Our Penetration Testing Stages Our method of penetration testing is best-practice in the industry and follows these 3 steps. ###### 1. Project Planning ITSEC will develop a detailed project plan which includes preparing the project schedule and assigning the tasks to appropriately qualified staff. This allows to schedule the meetings earlier and to make the assessment less intrusive for the personnel. We take time to understand the business set up and advise on best practice testing. We agree on the scope of work and ensure all required documents have been signed. ###### 2. Penetration Testing The sequence of tasks performed during the penetration test is as follows:  - Reconnaissance (brief information gathering)  - Passive  - Active  - Enumeration (accurate network/system mapping and identification of targets within scope)  - Vulnerability identification and analysis  - Vulnerability exploitation  - Privilege escalation and post exploitation  - Evaluation  - Continual client communication - Penetration test report preparation  - Cleaning up ###### 3. Report Preparation & Delivery ITSEC focus on developing the final project report. By this stage, we already have enough information to commence writing the report based on the status reports presented during the status updates submitted in the previous phases. Thus, this project phase consists of providing additional findings, recommendations, or chapters to the existing information, culminating into the final report which is presented back to our clients. × ![rocket](https://www.lean-labs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/sr-assets/images/rocket.png?width=200&height=200&name=rocket.png) ### Superior Inbound Material Quickly and efficiently build the materials you need to support your inbound marketing strategy.
