Your Internet-Facing Attack Surface

Every public-facing asset is a potential entry point. We systematically identify and test each one to give you a clear picture of your real-world exposure.

Perimeter Firewalls & VPNs

Testing firewall rulesets, VPN concentrators, and network edge devices for misconfigurations and known vulnerabilities.

Public-Facing Web Servers

Enumerating and testing all externally accessible web services, including staging environments and forgotten test instances.

DNS & Subdomain Discovery

Comprehensive DNS reconnaissance to identify shadow IT, dangling records, and subdomain takeover opportunities.

Email & Mail Servers

Assessing mail server security, SPF/DKIM/DMARC configuration, and resilience against spoofing and relay attacks.

Cloud-Exposed Services

Identifying publicly accessible cloud resources including storage buckets, databases, and serverless endpoints.

Remote Access Services

Testing RDP, SSH, and other remote access gateways for weak authentication, brute-force resilience, and protocol vulnerabilities.

Benefits of External Testing

Understanding your external exposure is the first step to reducing risk. Here is what you gain.

01

See What Attackers See

We show you exactly which assets are visible from the internet and which ones are vulnerable, giving you the attacker's perspective before they get it.

02

Prioritised, Actionable Findings

Every vulnerability is risk-rated with clear remediation steps. No generic scanner output; real findings ranked by business impact.

03

Reduce Your Attack Surface

We help you identify and remove unnecessary exposures: unused services, forgotten subdomains, overly permissive configurations.

04

Meet Compliance Requirements

External penetration testing satisfies requirements under Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and GDPR security obligations.

05

Validate Your Defences

Confirm that your firewalls, WAFs, and monitoring tools actually detect and block real attack techniques, not just textbook scenarios.

06

Expert-Led, Not Automated

Our consultants manually test beyond what scanners find. We chain vulnerabilities together to demonstrate real-world impact.

How It Works

A structured, transparent process from scoping through to remediation support.

01

Scoping

We define your external perimeter, agree rules of engagement, and set testing windows.

02

Reconnaissance

OSINT gathering, subdomain enumeration, service discovery, and technology fingerprinting.

03

Testing

Manual exploitation attempts against identified targets using attacker methodologies.

04

Reporting

Clear, prioritised report with executive summary, technical detail, and remediation guidance.
