Penetration Testing
Find exploitable weaknesses before attackers do, across your infrastructure, network, applications and people.
Penetration testing finds the exploitable weaknesses in your environment before an attacker does. As a NACSA-licensed and CREST-accredited penetration testing service provider, Nexagate combines technical depth with business sensitivity to evaluate the real-world security of your networks, applications and people, while protecting your data and avoiding disruption to live operations.
Each engagement is performed by an experienced Nexagate consultant and scoped for your environment to ensure accuracy and safety. Testing spans external and internal infrastructure, network and wireless, web and mobile applications, APIs and cloud environments, and can extend to secure code review and intelligence-led testing. You receive a risk-rated report showing how an intruder could gain access under specific conditions, with prioritised remediation and retesting. We run regulation-specific tests aligned to standards such as ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and PCI DSS, alongside general network security testing.
What we test
Test internet-facing systems and perimeter defences the way an external attacker would approach them.
Assess what an attacker could reach from inside, including segmentation testing and lateral movement.
In-depth testing of web applications, with secure code review where source access is in scope.
Assess mobile apps and their back-end services for exploitable weaknesses.
Test application programming interfaces for authentication, authorisation and logic flaws.
Wireless access testing to expose rogue access, weak encryption and segmentation gaps.
Test cloud-hosted infrastructure and services in line with the shared-responsibility model.

How we work
Tell us the scope and the systems in play. A tester will size the engagement and agree the rules with you up front.
