Penetration Testing

CYDATA's certified testers simulate real-world attacks against your applications, infrastructure, and people to expose weaknesses before adversaries do. Every engagement ends with clear, prioritised findings and practical remediation guidance your engineers can act on immediately.

Testing Capabilities

Web Application Testing

In-depth assessment of web and API attack surfaces, covering authentication, authorisation, injection, business logic flaws, and the OWASP Top 10.

Network & Infrastructure Testing

External and internal testing of networks, servers, and endpoints to identify misconfigurations, unpatched services, and lateral movement paths.

Cloud Security Testing

Configuration review and adversarial testing across Azure, AWS, and GCP environments, including identity, storage exposure, and privilege escalation paths.

Social Engineering

Phishing simulations and targeted social engineering campaigns that measure human risk and strengthen your security awareness programme.

Our Methodology

Scoping and rules of engagement agreed with your stakeholders
Reconnaissance and threat modelling of the target environment
Exploitation using manual techniques augmented by industry-standard tooling
Post-exploitation analysis to demonstrate real business impact
Detailed reporting with risk ratings, evidence, and reproduction steps
Remediation workshop and retesting of resolved findings

Actionable Remediation

A penetration test is only valuable if it drives improvement. Our reports go beyond vulnerability lists — every finding includes root-cause analysis, concrete remediation steps, and prioritisation based on exploitability and business impact. We work directly with your engineering teams to verify fixes through retesting.

From compliance-driven annual tests to adversarial red team exercises, CYDATA delivers penetration testing that measurably hardens your defences.
