Penetration Testing Services

What our penetration testing services cover

We offer penetration testing across all layers of your technology stack. Network infrastructure tests evaluate external and internal attack paths, firewall rule effectiveness, lateral movement opportunities, and Active Directory misconfigurations. Web application tests follow the OWASP Top 10 and WSTG methodology to uncover injection flaws, broken authentication, IDOR, SSRF, and business logic vulnerabilities.

Mobile application assessments cover both iOS and Android platforms — static analysis, dynamic instrumentation, traffic interception, and backend API testing. Cloud penetration tests evaluate AWS, Azure, and GCP configurations, IAM policies, storage bucket exposure, and serverless function attack surfaces. All engagements conclude with a management summary, detailed technical findings, proof-of-concept evidence, and a remediation roadmap.

• Network & infrastructure pen testing — External and internal assessments of firewalls, routers, servers, and Active Directory environments.
• Web application pen testing — OWASP WSTG-aligned testing of web apps, APIs, authentication systems, and business logic.
• Mobile app pen testing — iOS and Android reverse engineering, runtime analysis, and backend API security testing.
• Cloud security pen testing — AWS, Azure, and GCP configuration review, IAM abuse, and serverless attack surface assessment.
• Social engineering — Phishing simulations, vishing exercises, and physical security testing on request.
• Red team exercises — Goal-based adversary simulations testing your detection and response capability end-to-end.

Why choose eNeoteric for penetration testing services

• CERT-In empanelled — Our penetration testing practice follows CERT-In guidelines for information security auditing of Indian organisations.
• Certified ethical hackers — Our team holds OSCP, CEH, GPEN, GWAPT, eWPT, and vendor-specific security certifications.
• Objective-based engagements — We test against real attacker objectives — data exfiltration, privilege escalation, business disruption — not just checklists.
• Clean, auditor-ready reports — Our reports include CVSS scores, business impact ratings, executive summaries, and remediation guides accepted by RBI, SEBI, and ISO auditors.
• Re-test included — All engagements include a complimentary re-test to verify that identified vulnerabilities have been successfully remediated.

Frequently asked questions

What is penetration testing and why do I need it?

Penetration testing is a controlled, authorised simulation of a cyberattack on your systems to identify vulnerabilities before malicious actors do. It is required by RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, and CERT-In for regulated entities, and is a prerequisite for ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 attestation. Beyond compliance, it answers the question every CISO needs answered: can we actually be breached?

How often should we conduct penetration tests?

Most regulatory frameworks and security standards recommend at least annual penetration testing, with additional tests after significant infrastructure changes — new application launches, cloud migrations, merger integrations, or major patch cycles. High-risk environments (BFSI, healthcare, government) typically benefit from semi-annual testing.

What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?

A vulnerability assessment uses automated scanners to identify known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. A penetration test goes further — a human tester actively attempts to exploit those vulnerabilities, chain them together, escalate privileges, and demonstrate real-world impact. Pen testing produces business-risk evidence; VA produces a technical inventory.

Do you provide a remediation fix after the pen test?

We provide detailed remediation guidance for every finding, including specific configuration changes, patch recommendations, and code fixes where applicable. We also offer a complimentary re-test after remediation to verify that vulnerabilities have been closed before your next audit cycle.
