Penetration Testing
We Are CREST Accredited
Recent data reveals that 29% of targets have at least one critical vulnerability, and 44% face the risk of one or more essential vulnerabilities. In light of these alarming figures, it is evident that penetration testing has evolved from a mere option to an absolute necessity across various sectors.
Penetration testing is an authorized simulated attack conducted on systems to assess their security. Penetration testers employ identical tools, techniques, and processes employed by malicious actors to identify and demonstrate the potential business impact stemming from vulnerabilities within the system. These assessments typically simulate various types of cyberattacks that could threaten an organization. While scrutinizing different system roles, they ascertain whether a system exhibits the resilience required to withstand attacks from authenticated and unauthenticated systems.
10 Tips For Choosing The Right Penetration Testing Service Firm
Tip 1: Methodology: Consider a pen testing firm with current knowledge and expertise in using the most recent pen test tools and techniques, demonstrated through Certifications, credentials, and adherence to standards.
Tip 2: Reporting: Evaluate the quality of the firm’s reports through samples and attestation letters to determine the depth and value of their testing. Reports should be comprehensive, concise, and identify vulnerabilities with actionable remediation recommendations.

Why Do You Need Pentesting?
Penetration testing extends beyond the detection of common vulnerabilities through automated methods and instead identifies more intricate security issues, including business logic flaws and payment gateway complexities. It plays a pivotal role in enhancing understanding of the organization’s security posture and effectively addressing challenges to fortify security measures
The primary objectives of conducting regular penetration tests are:
- Staying vigilant and informed about the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape
- Detecting and rectifying business logic error
- Preparing for compliance audits effectively
- Protecting your organization's defenses against security breaches

Red Team Exercise
This comprehensive security assessment simulates real-world attacks on an organization’s security infrastructure, focusing on specific vulnerabilities. It takes a holistic approach, aiming to compromise the organization’s security posture. The red team comprises highly skilled security professionals who take on the role of attackers to assess the effectiveness of an organization’s defensive measures. They aim to uncover potential security gaps, demonstrating how attackers combine unrelated exploits to access sensitive data and critical assets. Following the assessment, the team provides recommendations and plans to bolster the organization’s security posture, ensuring it remains resilient in the face of evolving threats.
Phishing/Email Social Engineering
This is a significant cybersecurity threat as attackers deceive individuals into revealing sensitive information via deceptive emails or websites impersonating trusted entities. To combat this threat, our comprehensive approach includes expert-led phishing campaigns tracking open and click-through rates to assess risks. Furthermore, powered by a SaaS platform, we streamline advanced phishing simulations to fortify defenses and enable swift threat response. We also offer ongoing security awareness assessments through actionable insights and replicate advanced phishing attacks, including real-time phishing (MitM), to enhance realism and bolster defense against phishing threats.
Internal Penetration Testing
This proves instrumental in finding vulnerabilities in applications residing within a company’s firewall-protected environment. This process entails simulating a potential attack scenario, particularly one initiated by a malicious insider. By taking this proactive approach, we aim to identify and rectify these vulnerabilities and can help prevent the risk of an attack caused by either a rogue employee or an unauthorized individual exploiting stolen employee credentials.
Wireless Penetration Testing
This involves evaluating the security of wireless networks, which can serve as potential entry points for unauthorized access to internal assets. Our dedicated team conducts rigorous assessments of your wireless network security configurations, concentrating on potential threats linked to unauthorized access. Through meticulous examination, we identify vulnerabilities and gaps in your wireless security defenses that could be exploited. Subsequently, we offer a comprehensive evaluation report outlining our findings and specific recommendations to strengthen your wireless security measures seamlessly.
Application Penetration Testing
This is conducted on an application that reveals coding errors and permission-related issues that may result in a data breach. Our team of certified experts, who have undergone rigorous training and evaluation, possesses the expertise to identify these vulnerabilities across various programming languages and software environments.
External Penetration Testing
This is the most effective approach to identify vulnerabilities in a company’s internet-exposed IT assets, such as domain servers, websites, and email systems. Our security experts specialize in identifying and assessing these vulnerabilities, evaluating their potential for exploitation by malicious hackers.
Secure Code Review
This is vital in uncovering and rectifying critical vulnerabilities within your codebase, including those that might be concealed on the front end of your application. Accorian employs state-of-the-art tools and methodologies to conduct these scans, ensuring your application is released to production with a robust security posture, free from any significant weaknesses that malicious actors could exploit.
