Ethical Hacking

Our experts simulate real-world attacks across your systems to uncover hidden vulnerabilities—before malicious actors do.

What is ethical hacking?

Ethical hacking is a cost-effective way to test the overall cyber resilience of your company. By impersonating a hacker, we try to access your organisation in as many ways as possible. Afterwards, you use the findings to fix any blind spots. Ethical hacking is an excellent first step if you want to get a general idea of your current security level.

Who uses ethical hacking?

An ethical hacking exercise can be a first step in setting up your cybersecurity policy because it gives you a baseline to start from. But it can also be a part of a periodical check-up. Some organisations perform ethical hacking regularly to comply with regulatory or industry requirements. Others use ethical hacking to prepare their company for a more advanced security exercise like red teaming.

The Advantages of Ethical Hacking

Insight

Our ethical hackers reveal hidden weaknesses across your systems, giving you a clearer picture of your actual risk landscape.

Priorities

We don’t just report vulnerabilities—we rank them by severity and business impact, so your team can take targeted, effective action.

Prevention

By simulating real-world attacks, we help you fix gaps early, avoid data breaches, and maintain trust with clients, partners, and stakeholders.

When to Perform Ethical Hacking?

To Set Priorities

Ethical hacking helps you focus your security efforts where they matter most—based on real-world exposure, not guesswork.

To Prepare

Use ethical hacking to assess your readiness and close critical gaps before official evaluations or security reviews.

If Requested

Some stakeholders may require independent testing of your systems. Ethical hacking delivers the third-party validation they trust.

As Validation

Use it as a periodic check to ensure your tools, processes, and people are actually working to prevent real-world threats.

How Ethical hacking Works

1. Preparation

We begin by identifying what makes your organization a target—what attackers would want, how they might try to get it, and which areas are most at risk. This intelligence phase sets the foundation for realistic testing.

2. Execution

Using tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) similar to real attackers, we simulate how someone might attempt to breach your systems—step by step, from reconnaissance to exploitation.

3. Reporting

We deliver a detailed, organization-wide report outlining vulnerabilities, attack paths, and prioritized recommendations to strengthen your defenses.

Aftercare (Optional)

We offer guidance and coaching as your team works through remediation. Once fixes are in place, we can perform a retest to measure your improved security posture.
