Assess
Penetration Testing
We simulate real-world attacks on your applications, networks and cloud to find the weaknesses attackers would use, then show you exactly how to fix them.
What's included
Web applications
OWASP Top 10, business-logic and authentication flaws in your web apps and APIs.
Mobile applications
iOS and Android apps and the back-end services they talk to.
Network & infrastructure
External perimeter and internal networks, including Active Directory.
Cloud environments
AWS, Azure and Microsoft 365 configuration, identity and exposure.
Wireless & segmentation
Wi-Fi security and whether critical zones are truly isolated.
Social engineering
Phishing simulations that test how your people respond.

Questions we often hear
What is penetration testing?
Penetration testing is an authorised, simulated cyberattack on your systems. Cyber Sentinel Lab's testers use the same techniques as real attackers to find exploitable weaknesses, prove their impact safely, and give you a prioritised plan to fix them.
How often should an organisation run a penetration test?
Most organisations test at least once a year and after any major change, such as a new application, a cloud migration or a network redesign. Regulated sectors such as banking and payments often require testing on a fixed schedule.
Will penetration testing disrupt our live systems?
No. Testing is planned with you in advance, follows agreed rules of engagement, and avoids destructive techniques. Sensitive tests can be scheduled outside business hours.
What is the difference between a vulnerability scan and a penetration test?
A vulnerability scan uses automated tools to list known weaknesses. A penetration test goes further: skilled testers chain weaknesses together and attempt to exploit them, showing what an attacker could actually achieve.
