Network penetration testing
Find weaknesses in your network before they become larger problems.
Services
Security architecture & hardening
Turn security findings into practical improvements to your environment.
How an engagement runs
What we’ll cover
Review network boundaries, identity controls, and system configurations.
Prioritize improvements based on business needs and operational constraints.
Document agreed changes, ownership, and validation steps.
The work
Where hardening work focuses
Network boundaries and segmentation
How networks are divided, what can talk to what, and where remote access, partner connections and cloud networks join your environment.
Identity and administrative access
How accounts, privileged access, multi-factor authentication and directory services are set up, since these decide how far an attacker can move once inside.
System and service configuration
Configuration of servers, network devices and key services against secure baselines, prioritised by risk and by the effort and disruption each change involves.
Scope
A scope you can review
Your proposal defines the systems covered, deliverables, responsibilities, timeline, and fees. Work begins after the scope and required authorization are agreed. Any ongoing coverage or response commitments are specified in the service agreement.
- Systems covered
- Deliverables
- Responsibilities
- Timeline
- Fees
After the work
Useful next steps
The aim is to help your team understand the findings and decide what to address first. Remediation assistance and retesting can be discussed as part of the engagement.
Questions
Common questions
How is this different from a penetration test?
A penetration test shows what an attacker could exploit today. An architecture and hardening review looks at how the environment is designed and configured, and plans the changes that reduce risk over time. The two are often combined: findings from a test feed the hardening plan.
Do you make the changes or just recommend them?
The engagement can cover recommendations only, or include help making and validating the agreed changes. The proposal says which, along with who owns each change.
What should we prepare?
Network diagrams, asset inventories, identity systems, remote-access arrangements and change windows. Incomplete documentation is common; the review can help fill the gaps.
