Penetration Testing

A penetration test is the process of actively evaluating your information security measures. There are a number of ways that this can be undertaken, but the most common procedure is that the security measures are actively analysed for design weaknesses, technical flaws and vulnerabilities; the results are then delivered comprehensively in a report, to Executive, Management and Technical audiences.
