Penetration Testing as a Service with Rootshell Security

Removing Guesswork from your Cybersecurity Posture

In today’s digital age where cyber threats are continuously evolving, securing your organization’s IT infrastructure is more important than ever. A solid cybersecurity posture isn’t a luxury but a necessity. While businesses often invest in various security controls, these alone aren’t sufficient. The key to robust cybersecurity is understanding the existing vulnerabilities in your IT environment. Ignoring these weak links could pave the way for unauthorized access to sensitive data and systems.

This is where penetration testing services come in. These services are designed to simulate real-world attacks to reveal existing security vulnerabilities, thus providing a clearer perspective on your security posture.

Our Penetration Testing Services

At Rootshell Security, we pride ourselves on offering comprehensive penetration testing consulting. Our team of penetration testing experts employs a detailed and rigorous approach to uncover any chinks in your IT armor. Armed with a group of certified ethical hackers, we offer an extensive range of penetration testing services, including external penetration testing services and internal system assessments, to provide a 360-degree view of your organization’s security framework.

Features

Access the mindset of an attacker

By emulating the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) and indicators of compromise (IoCs) used by hackers we can identify exploits and vulnerabilities to offer a more realistic assessment.

In the window between manual assessments, our testing platform will continuously test your networks and alert you of any possible security vulnerabilities.

Quality Assured

Our services are aligned to industry standards for network and web application security assessments such as Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), NIST and The Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES).

Effective Risk Management

Allowing you to focus on the highest risks that matter to your business through asset classification, risk prioritisation and remediation.

Actionable Risk Reduction

Clear, concise remediation guidance available with step-by-step instructions to enable your organisation to mitigate risks.

Remote flexible penetration testing

A Rootshell hardened security appliance can be used by our analysts and consultants to conduct full internal assessments as though they were on site.

The Benefits of Penetration Testing

  • Prepare for a real-world attack: Penetration tests are one of the most effective ways to evaluate your security posture. By emulating the same tactics, techniques, and procedures used by sophisticated threat actors, our penetration testing services truly put your organisation’s defences to the test.
  • Effectively remediate risk: Penetration tests provide you with the data you need to manage and resolve vulnerabilities. Our penetration testers offer expert support so you can remediate as quickly and effectively as possible.
  • Comply with security standards: Carrying out penetration testing services is essential for meeting a number of different regulatory standards. Our CREST-certified penetration tests will ensure your organisation is compliant.

Phases of Penetration Testing

Our penetration testing specialists use a well-defined approach that involves several stages:

  • Planning and Scoping: We work closely with your organisation to understand and agree on the complexity of your requirements. This gives us the opportunity to discuss any prerequisites, such as test accounts, authorization, and escalation processes. All scoping, including exchanging information, is conducted securely within the Rootshell Platform.
  • Pen Testing: Your penetration testing services will be performed by our experienced security consultants, who hold the highest industry qualifications, such as CREST and Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP). Your assigned consultants will carry out the pen testing as agreed and update you throughout the process.
  • Reporting: We provide you with clear and extensive pen test reporting, detailing all our findings from your penetration test. The report provides you with a clear understanding of any areas of risk or vulnerability and will form the basis of your remediation process.
  • Review and follow-up: Once your penetration test is complete by our ethical hackers and you have reviewed your report, you can discuss all aspects of it with your consultant. We offer expert post-pen test support and guidance on remediation activities.
  • Free Re-Test: We are passionate about our cybersecurity testing and it’s our firm belief that delivering a report of vulnerabilities should not complete a penetration test. Following an assessment, we will provide clear recommendations on how to mitigate against reported vulnerabilities and offer free remote retesting following remediation.
