Network & Infrastructure Security Testing

Overview

Our Network & Infrastructure Security Testing service provides an independent assessment of your internal and external networks and devices. We uncover vulnerabilities across servers, routers, switches, cloud services and user access before attackers do.

The result is strengthened resilience, evidence for compliance, and reassurance for your clients and stakeholders.

Key benefits

  • Reduce the risk of data breaches, outages and costly incidents
  • Demonstrate due diligence and satisfy industry or regulatory requirements
  • Protect your brand, customer trust and service availability
  • Get clear, prioritised guidance on how to fix any weaknesses

What we examine

During a typical engagement we assess your network architecture and segmentation, routers, switches, firewalls, servers and cloud platforms. We review operating systems, installed software, databases and directory services. We also check user permissions, patch management and change controls, highlighting any weaknesses in your design or configuration.

Assessment types

We offer external and internal infrastructure assessments. The most common option is an external unauthenticated test, which identifies weak points attackers could abuse over the internet without any valid credentials. Internal testing is chosen when you’re concerned about insider threats or a malicious or compromised device on your network. If required, we can also perform authenticated assessments to evaluate what a trusted user could access.

  • External unauthenticated – replicates how a remote attacker would probe your internet‑facing network without any valid credentials, revealing publicly exposed weak points that could be abused.
  • External authenticated – tests your external systems using valid credentials to see how much further an attacker could progress once they have a foothold.
  • Internal unauthenticated – simulates a malicious or compromised device plugged into your internal network without login details, probing what can be accessed simply by being connected.
  • Internal authenticated – assesses the damage a trusted user or stolen account could cause by exploring internal systems with valid credentials.

How we work

  • We meet with you, typically via a Teams online meeting or in person, to understand your business, infrastructure, objectives, security concerns and any compliance requirements.
  • Our security consultants carry out thorough, manual testing using proven methodologies.
  • We provide a detailed report with clear explanations of findings, risk ratings and practical remediation guidance.
  • After the test, we remain available to answer questions and support your remediation efforts.
