Penetration Testing

Penetration testing for South African businesses

Find the exploitable vulnerabilities in your infrastructure and applications before attackers do. We run controlled, scoped penetration tests with a prioritised remediation plan — for teams across South Africa and remote.

What's included

Every engagement starts with clearly documented scoping, rules of engagement, and change windows agreed upfront, so testing never disrupts your customers or triggers false alarms for your on-call team. We test infrastructure, web applications, or both depending on your attack surface, and every test ends with a prioritised remediation plan for anything exploitable we find — not just a list of findings. Penetration testing is available as part of a broader CISO-as-a-service engagement, or as a standalone, one-off assessment ahead of a compliance audit or enterprise sales process.

Infrastructure testing

Network, cloud, and infrastructure penetration testing across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Cloudflare environments.

Application testing

Testing of web applications and APIs to find exploitable vulnerabilities before attackers do.

Scoped rules of engagement

Documented scope, rules of engagement, and change windows agreed upfront so testing doesn't disrupt production.

Prioritised remediation plan

A clear, prioritised remediation plan for every exploitable finding, with support implementing fixes.

Who this is for

Companies preparing for a compliance audit or enterprise security questionnaire
Startups that need a penetration test to close enterprise deals
Teams without a dedicated security function who need an independent assessment
Organisations wanting to test a specific system before or after a major release

Frequently asked questions

Can you test our production environment?

Yes, with proper scoping, documented rules of engagement, and change windows agreed upfront so testing doesn't disrupt your customers or trigger false alarms for your on-call team. We scope tests to your specific attack surface — infrastructure, applications, or both — and deliver a prioritised remediation plan for anything exploitable we find.

Do you provide a written report?

Yes — every engagement includes a prioritised remediation plan covering everything exploitable we found, so you leave with concrete next steps rather than just a list of findings.

Is this part of your CISO-as-a-service offering, or can we book it standalone?

Both. Penetration testing is included in an ongoing fractional CISO engagement, and it's also available as a standalone, one-off assessment — for example ahead of a compliance audit, enterprise security questionnaire, or a major release.
