Penetration Testing & Offensive Security

Find the gaps before attackers do. Manual, goal-driven testing across network, application, cloud, and people — with findings prioritized by real business risk.

Human-led

Manual, goal-driven testing that goes beyond an automated scan

68%

of breaches involve a human element — Verizon DBIR. We test your people, too.

Retest included

Remediation validation on every engagement, at no extra cost

Engagement types

Attackers do not respect the boundaries on your architecture diagram. We test the way they operate — across every layer where an intrusion can start or spread.

Network penetration testing

External and internal testing of your perimeter, internal segments, and Active Directory — modeling both the outside attacker and the foothold that has already landed inside.

  • External: exposed services, VPNs, and edge devices
  • Internal: lateral movement and privilege escalation
  • Active Directory and domain-takeover paths

Web & API testing

Deep, authenticated testing of web applications and APIs against the OWASP Top 10 and beyond — including the business-logic flaws that scanners never see.

  • Authenticated, multi-role application testing
  • REST, GraphQL, and mobile-backend APIs
  • Injection, access control, and logic abuse

Cloud penetration testing

Configuration and identity testing across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Microsoft 365 — attacking the IAM roles, storage, and control-plane paths that lead to full tenant compromise.

  • IAM privilege escalation and role chaining
  • Public storage, secrets, and metadata exposure
  • Complements our Cloud Security service

Red & purple team

Objective-based adversary emulation against your live defenses, run collaboratively with your defenders to measure and improve detection in real time.

  • Goal-driven emulation mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
  • Purple teaming with your SOC and MDR/XDR
  • Social engineering and phishing on request

What sets manual testing apart

An automated scan finds known signatures. A human tester chains small weaknesses into the breach that actually matters to your business.

Business logic flaws

We abuse the way your application is meant to work — price manipulation, broken workflows, and authorization gaps that no signature-based tool can recognize.

Chained attack paths

Individually low-risk findings often combine into a full compromise. We connect the steps a real intruder would take, from initial access to domain or tenant control.

Validated impact

Every critical finding is safely exploited to prove real impact — no unqualified theoretical risk, and far fewer false positives to chase.

Adversary creativity

Testers holding offensive certifications think like attackers, not checklists, surfacing the unconventional paths that pre-defined rules miss.

What you receive

A pen test is only worth the fixes it drives. Our deliverables are built to be acted on by engineers and understood by executives.

Risk-ranked findings

Each issue is scored on real business risk and exploitability — not a raw CVSS dump — so your team fixes the things that actually move your exposure first.

Proof-of-concept

Reproducible, step-by-step evidence for every finding, with the exact request, payload, or path used, so your engineers can confirm and resolve it without guesswork.

Remediation & retest

Clear, prioritized guidance written for your stack, followed by a retest of the fixes so you can prove closure to leadership, auditors, and cyber-insurers.

Executive & technical reporting

A board-ready summary of your posture alongside the full technical detail, feeding directly into our Vulnerability Management program for continuous follow-through.

Compliance alignment & why intSignal

Testing should satisfy your auditors and strengthen your defenses at the same time — not sit in a silo apart from the rest of your security program.

Maps to your mandates

Engagements are scoped to satisfy PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and cyber-insurance requirements, with evidence packaged for the assessor.

  • Annual and post-change testing cadence
  • Assessor-ready evidence and letters

One program with your defenders

Offensive findings feed straight into your SOC, SIEM, MDR/XDR, and Zero Trust roadmap — so every test measurably hardens the estate.

  • Purple-team feedback to your detections
  • Findings drive Vulnerability Management

Safe, scoped, communicative

Rules of engagement are agreed up front, high-risk actions are coordinated, and critical findings are reported the moment we confirm them — never held for the report.

  • Defined scope and rules of engagement
  • Immediate critical-finding escalation

How we run an engagement

A disciplined methodology aligned to PTES and NIST SP 800-115 — repeatable, evidence-driven, and safe against production.

1

Scope & rules of engagement

We agree objectives, targets, timing, and safeguards up front, then confirm authorization so testing is controlled and legally clear.

2

Recon & discovery

We map your real attack surface — hosts, services, applications, identities, and cloud assets — to plan where a determined attacker would push.

3

Exploit & post-exploit

We safely exploit weaknesses, chain them, and pursue the agreed objective, capturing proof-of-concept evidence at every step.

4

Report & retest

We deliver risk-ranked findings and a debrief, then retest your fixes to validate that the exposure is genuinely closed.

Standards & tooling we test with

We test against the standards your auditors expect, using the same offensive tooling real adversaries rely on.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a penetration test and a vulnerability scan?

A scan is automated and lists known signatures; a penetration test is human-led and proves what an attacker could actually achieve by exploiting and chaining those weaknesses. Scanning tells you what might be wrong, while a pen test tells you what is genuinely exploitable and what it would cost you. We run continuous scanning under our Vulnerability Management service and reserve manual pen testing for validated, real-world impact.

Will testing disrupt our production systems?

Rarely, and never by surprise. Rules of engagement, timing windows, and any high-risk actions are agreed in writing before we start, and denial-of-service style techniques are excluded unless you explicitly request them. If a target proves fragile, we coordinate with your team before proceeding.

How often should we run a penetration test?

At least annually, and after any significant change — a new application, a major cloud migration, or a network redesign. Many compliance frameworks such as PCI DSS require this cadence, and cyber-insurers increasingly expect it. Between tests, our Vulnerability Management program keeps continuous eyes on new exposures.

Do you offer black box, grey box, or white box testing?

All three. Black box mirrors an external attacker with no prior knowledge, grey box simulates a compromised user or insider with limited access, and white box gives us full documentation and credentials for the deepest coverage. Grey and white box find more per dollar because time is spent exploiting rather than rediscovering your architecture.

Can you test our people, not just our systems?

Yes. Social engineering — phishing, vishing, and pretext-based access attempts — is available as part of a red team engagement or as a standalone assessment. Because the majority of breaches involve a human element, testing awareness alongside technology gives a truer picture of your risk, and pairs well with our Email Security and Identity & Access Management services.

Does a penetration test satisfy our compliance requirements?

For most frameworks, yes. We scope engagements to meet PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 testing requirements and provide assessor-ready evidence, including an attestation letter. Tell us the standard you report against and we will align the methodology, scope, and reporting to it.

Built for regulated, audited environments

We deliver the controls and evidence that make your audits possible — hardening and operating practices aligned to the frameworks your assessors and customers recognize.
