Penetration Testing

Stay ahead of threats with proactive, expert led security validation from VITS

When it comes to cybersecurity, confidence comes from knowing your defences have been rigorously tested. VITS offers advanced Penetration Testing services, ethical hacking carried out by certified experts to uncover weak points before attackers can exploit them.

What Is Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing, often called pen-testing, is a controlled, simulated cyberattack conducted by ethical hackers to expose vulnerabilities across systems, networks, applications, and infrastructure. By mimicking real-world cyber threats, pen-testing reveals hidden weak points in your Firewall security posture and helps build a stronger, more resilient defence.

Why Your Business Needs It

number 1

Protect Reputation, Assets & Compliance

Pen-testing is a critical part of reducing cyber risk, preserving customer trust, and aligning with compliance frameworks like PCI DSS and ISO 27001.

number 2

Business Benefits Beyond Compliance

While some organizations test solely for compliance, most conduct penetration tests as a best-practice measure. Pen-testing safeguards your finances, brand, and stakeholder trust.

number 3

Real Cost Savings

Though average pen-tests may start around £2,000, depending on scope, they pale in comparison to breach-related costs and offer a strong ROI by preventing disruption and data loss.

Types of Penetration Testing We Offer

Target your internet-facing Firewall to uncover public attack vectors.

Simulate insider threats by assessing your internal network and systems.

Detect vulnerabilities like SQL injection or weak authentication in your digital interfaces.

Validate your cloud platforms for misconfigurations and exposure risks.

Penetration Testing FAQs

Penetration testing involves security experts simulating real-world cyberattacks on your systems, networks, or applications. They attempt to exploit vulnerabilities just like a hacker would, then provide a detailed report with findings and recommended fixes.

Any organisation that relies on digital systems or stores sensitive data should consider pen testing. It’s especially important for businesses in regulated industries, those handling customer information, or companies launching new applications or services.

It’s best practice to conduct pen tests at least annually or whenever there are major changes to your IT environment, such as new applications, network upgrades, or cloud migrations. Regular testing ensures new vulnerabilities are quickly addressed.

Yes. Pen testing is scalable and can be tailored to organisations of any size. SMEs benefit from uncovering weaknesses before attackers do, helping protect sensitive data and maintain business continuity without needing a large in-house security team.
