Penetration Testing

Identify and validate vulnerabilities across your systems, networks and applications before they can be exploited.

OUR SERVICES

Test Your Security

Automated vulnerability scanning can identify potential weaknesses, but understanding whether those weaknesses can actually be exploited requires deeper testing.

Cecuri’s Penetration Testing combines expert manual assessment with proven testing methodologies to identify and safely validate vulnerabilities across your technology environment.

From networks and applications to APIs, mobile and cloud environments, we provide clear, risk-prioritised findings that help your team understand exposure and strengthen security.

WHAT WE TEST

Penetration Testing Across Your Environment

External Penetration Testing

Assess public-facing infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities that could provide attackers with access to your systems or data.

Internal Penetration Testing

Simulate an attacker operating within your network to identify weaknesses, privilege escalation and potential attack paths.

Web Application Testing

Identify security vulnerabilities within web applications using manual and automated testing aligned with recognised methodologies.

API Penetration Testing

Test APIs for weaknesses in authentication, authorisation, data exposure and other security controls.

Mobile Application Testing

Assess Android and iOS applications for vulnerabilities across application components, data handling, APIs and backend systems.

Cloud Security Testing

Assess cloud environments for configuration weaknesses, access control issues and other security exposures.

ONGOING ASSURANCE

Security Doesn't Stand Still

A penetration test provides a point-in-time view, but systems, applications and attack surfaces continue to change.

For organisations requiring ongoing assurance, Cecuri can provide scheduled or on-demand penetration testing, remediation re-testing and ongoing external attack surface monitoring.

Penetration Testing FAQs

What is penetration testing?

Penetration testing simulates cyber attacks in a controlled and authorised environment to identify and validate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by malicious actors.

Vulnerability scanning primarily uses automated tools to identify potential weaknesses. Penetration testing goes further by combining automated techniques with expert manual testing and, where appropriate, safely validating whether vulnerabilities can be exploited.

Cecuri’s services cover external and internal networks, web applications, APIs, mobile applications, cloud environments and wireless networks. Social engineering testing can also be included depending on scope.

Testing is scoped and conducted in a controlled manner, with boundaries and objectives agreed before testing begins. Exploitation is performed safely where appropriate to validate vulnerabilities and understand potential impact.

Yes. Optional re-testing can be performed to validate that identified vulnerabilities have been successfully remediated.

Yes. Cecuri’s penetration testing can support requirements and control validation across frameworks including APRA CPS 234, ISO 27001, Essential Eight, NIST CSF, PCI DSS and SOC 2.

Penetration Testing focuses on identifying and validating technical vulnerabilities within systems, networks and applications. A Strategic Security Assessment takes a broader organisational view across governance, security maturity, controls and compliance.
