Know exactly where your defences would hold, and where they wouldn’t. CloudGuard’s Penetration Testing service puts expert consultants to work finding the real, exploitable gaps across your external infrastructure, web applications, and APIs. We give you validated findings, clear priorities and a plan you can act on with confidence.
Most businesses have a rough sense of their security posture. Few can say, with real confidence, how it would actually hold up.
Every new cloud service, app, or API is another door left unchecked. Most teams don’t have a clear picture of what’s actually exposed to the internet right now.
Scanners highlight well known, documented CVEs. What they can’t always highlight is Zero days. The big risk is a misconfiguration which allows for unintended access.
CI/CD Security frameworks are not followed correctly, leading to common vulnerabilities being present in the applications, inviting malicious actors into your environment through well-known routes.
ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and customer due diligence increasingly require evidence of testing, not just a policy document saying you’ve thought about it.
Each area we test answers a different part of the same question. where could someone actually get in? And what would they find once they did?
We test your internet-facing IPs, endpoints, and cloud services, the perimeter attackers probe first.
We uncover flaws in logic, authentication, and user flows that scanners routinely miss.
We evaluate REST, GraphQL, and SOAP endpoints for gaps in data handling and authentication.
OSINT-driven reconnaissance maps what you actually expose to the internet, including forgotten assets.
Here’s exactly what happens during a Penetration Testing engagement, from the first conversation to the final report.
We confirm scope, asset inventory, and testing objectives together, so the engagement is focused on what matters to your business, as well as appropriate guardrails for the engagement.
Our consultants use OSINT techniques to identify and validate your true external attack surface, often surfacing assets you didn't know were exposed.
We combine automated tooling with expert-led manual testing to identify exploitable vulnerabilities across the agreed scope, going beyond what scanners alone can find.
Every finding is reviewed and contextualised by a consultant to strip out false positives, so you're left with a prioritised list of what's genuinely worth fixing first.
You get a clear, actionable report with prioritised remediation guidance, plus the chance to walk through findings directly with the team who did the testing.
Most penetration testing is sold as a one-off deliverable, you get a PDF, and the relationship ends there. CloudGuard is built differently: every finding is reviewed and validated by an expert consultant before it reaches you, so you’re prioritising real, exploitable risk, not chasing a scanner’s false positives.
If you need a validated, third-party view of where you’re genuinely exposed, not another scanner report, CloudGuard’s Penetration Testing service is built for you.
CISOs, IT Directors/Leaders, and Application Security Leads who need a credible, independent view of exploitable risk, one they can bring to leadership, the board, or a customer, and stand behind with confidence.
SMB to enterprise organisations with internet-facing systems, websites, firewalls, cloud infrastructure, or customer-facing web apps and APIs, including teams who’ve recently shipped something new and want confirmation it’s secure before it becomes a liability.
Organisations working toward ISO 27001, PCI DSS, or SOC 2 certification, responding to customer due diligence requests, or simply realising it’s been over 12 months, or ever, since an independent, consultant-led test.
CloudGuard is embedded in the cybersecurity industry – recognised, accredited, and trusted to protect real organisations every day.
A series of workshops designed to develop and test your incident response readiness in response to various forms of cyberattacks.
Find out whether your organisation could withstand a genuine attack, not just whether it looks secure on paper.
Find out how well your organisation prevents, detects and responds to realistic attacker behaviour, with your own team involved every step of the way.
A vulnerability scan flags things that might be wrong, based on automated signatures. A penetration test goes further: our consultants actively attempt to exploit those weaknesses the way a real attacker would, then validate what’s genuinely at risk. That distinction matters because it’s the difference between a list of theoretical issues and evidence-based, prioritised findings you can act on with confidence.
Most engagements run over a defined, agreed timeframe based on scope, typically a few weeks from kickoff to final report, including scoping, testing, validation, and reporting. We’ll confirm exact timelines during Engagement Initiation, so there are no surprises and you can plan around business-critical dates like audits or certification deadlines.
A penetration test looks for exploitable technical weaknesses across your systems, broad coverage, less realism. Purple teaming is collaborative: your team and ours work together in real time to tune detection. Red Teaming is closer to a genuine attack: a covert, scenario-led simulation of BEC and AiTM techniques against real users, testing whether your people, controls and response would catch it without knowing a test was coming.
Find out what’s actually exploitable, before someone else does.
