Infrastructure & Network Pentesting Services

What’s exposed on your network, how serious is it, and how does an attacker get from the perimeter to something that matters.

An infrastructure penetration test answers a specific question: if an attacker got a foothold in your environment, how far could they go and what could they reach?

External testing maps what’s exposed to the internet and looks for any path that leads to something sensitive. Internal testing assumes the perimeter is already breached and walks the network the way an attacker would, looking for lateral movement opportunities, privilege escalation paths, and anything that shouldn’t be reachable but is. Both produce findings grounded in real exploitation. If it’s in the report, it’s because we demonstrated it.

External and Internal Testing

An external test simulates an attacker on the internet with no prior access. We map what’s exposed, identify misconfigured or outdated services, probe access controls, and look for any path that leads from the public internet to something sensitive.

An internal test assumes the perimeter has already been breached, which is the more realistic assumption for most organizations. Malware, a phishing click, a compromised contractor, a rogue device on the network. Once something is inside, how far can it go? We simulate lateral movement, privilege escalation, and data access to show exactly how deep an attacker could get and what they could reach.

Both tests produce findings grounded in real exploitation, not scanner signatures. If something is in the report, it’s because we demonstrated it.

How the Engagement Works

We scope around your environment: what’s in scope, what’s off limits, what matters most. External and internal tests can run separately or together depending on your compliance requirements or what you’re actually trying to answer. Pricing reflects scope and everything is agreed upfront with no surprises.

Testing runs on a defined timeline with direct access to the senior practitioner throughout. If something critical surfaces during the engagement, you hear about it immediately rather than waiting for the report.

The report covers findings with validated proof of concept, real-world impact narrative, and remediation guidance written for the people who are going to act on it. Prioritized by actual risk, not severity scores that treat every finding as equally urgent. After your team remediates, a free retest validates the fixes and updates the report. That closure evidence matters for auditors and it matters for your own confidence that the work actually changed something.

It Works for Compliance Too

Infrastructure penetration testing satisfies specific requirements across several frameworks. PCI-DSS Requirements 11.4.1 and 11.4.4 mandate external and internal testing and remediation validation on a defined schedule. SOC 2 CC7.1 and CC7.2 ask for evidence of threat identification and detection of unauthorized access. HIPAA and HITRUST require documented risk evaluation and technical controls testing across the environment.

If you’re adding a network scope to an existing web application engagement, the reports are structured to complement each other and present cleanly to an auditor reviewing both.

Who This Is For

Organizations that want to know what an attacker can actually do in their environment, not what a scanner thinks might be possible. Companies preparing for PCI, SOC 2, or HIPAA audits that include network scope. IT and security teams that have never had an independent external eye on the infrastructure. And web application pentest clients who want to understand whether the network behind the app is as solid as the app itself.

If you’re not sure whether you need external testing, internal testing, or both, that’s what the scoping call is for.
