process

Our Penetration Testing Process

At our pen testing firm, actionable insights with measurable results are always the top priority. That's why we make sure that our security testing services reflect this commitment by following a structured and transparent process that's customizable to every client's unique need.

Step 1. Preliminary scoping

The scoping stage is where we discuss the extent of the penetration tests and details such as target systems, testing methodologies to be used and timeline for completion. We do this to ensure our testing procedures match your organizational needs and regulatory requirements.

Step 2. Reconnaissance

This is the intelligence-gathering phase from your systems, wireless networks and applications. During this phase, we find vulnerabilities, services exposed and entry points which may be used during an attack. The intelligence gathered here is the foundation on which the simulated attack scenarios are based.

Step 3. Vulnerability assessment

Our penetration testing consultants conduct thorough vulnerability scans to identify weaknesses in your infrastructure using manual testing paired with automated testing methods. Once we identify vulnerabilities, we exploit them in a controlled environment to highlight how they affect your systems. This process helps us evaluate how your security controls measure up to threats.

Step 4. Reporting and analysis

Our reports outline the vulnerabilities found, their potential impact on your IT environment, and the methods of exploitation used to uncover them during testing. The report will also include technical findings with actionable remediation recommendations. That way, your team will not only be able to understand the risk but also the steps required to strengthen your defenses effectively.

Step 5. Remediation support and validation testing

We present the results and then support your team in effectively implementing remediation strategies for identified vulnerabilities. Once the patches have been applied, we can retest vulnerabilities to confirm that the issues have been fixed. This will make sure your systems are robust, compliant and better positioned to handle future threats.

questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

What is penetration testing, and why is it needed?

Penetration testing, or pentesting for short, is a mimicked cyber attack on your systems, web and mobile applications and networks carried out by penetration testing companies to uncover security vulnerabilities before malicious actors can. This proactive stance helps strengthen your security posture, comply with industry standards and preserve sensitive data from potential breaches.

How often should my organization conduct penetration testing?

The frequency of pentest services depends on various factors: regulatory requirements, sensitivity of your data and changes in your IT environment. On the whole, at least one test should be carried out annually and right after significant upgrades to the systems for continued security.

What kinds of systems and applications can Astro test?

Our pen test services include testing web application security, APIs, internal and external networks, cloud infrastructures, and physical security controls. Each test is designed to uncover vulnerabilities specific to your environment and operational context.

How does penetration testing differ from vulnerability scanning?

Although both detect security weaknesses, vulnerability scanning is an automated process and aims to find out known types of vulnerabilities without exploiting them. Penetration testing is a more active process where ethical hackers try to exploit the detected vulnerabilities in order to get an idea about possible impacts. Therefore, it gives you much more detailed information about how good your security defenses are.

Are penetration tests effective against insider threats?

Internal penetration testing is designed to model the activities of a rogue employee or an insider who has been compromised. These tests find the weaknesses in privilege escalation, lateral movement capabilities and user access controls, enhancing the defenses against insider threats.

How does penetration testing support compliance with industry regulations?

Penetration testing is a major requirement in various regulatory frameworks, including but not limited to PCI DSS, ISO 27001 and HIPAA. By revealing vulnerabilities and providing remediation strategies, our tests will keep your organization in step with these standards while making your security posture robust enough for regulators and clients alike.
