How we do it differently

checkmark
Business-logic-driven testing
We learn your app and workflows on a demo call first, then test the parts that matter most to your business.
checkmark
Chained into real exploits
Automated scans and checklist tests stop at isolated, known issues. We combine weaknesses into a working exploit and show the real impact.
checkmark
Real-world attacker simulation
We emulate how an actual attacker behaves, including privilege escalation, lateral movement, password attacks and user impersonation.
checkmark
Senior, certified testers
On every engagement, from the scoping call to the retest. No anonymous crowd, no juniors handed your environment.
checkmark
A report you can act on
Short and to the point, with reproduction steps, proof of concept and specific fixes.
checkmark
Free remediation retest
After your team fixes the issues, we verify the fixes and try to bypass them.
checkmark
Direct engineer access
Talk to the engineer who tested your system, during the engagement and after.
checkmark
We get into hardened targets
We have found a way in even on products built by other security companies. That is our bar for quality.

Renewal, new audit requirement, or board asking questions? Our penetration testing services scope and start in days.

FAQ

What is penetration testing?

arrow-5
A penetration test, also known as pen test services or ethical hacking, is a simulated cyberattack that helps organizations detect and highlight weaknesses and vulnerabilities in their security postures. This proactive cybersecurity technique allows business owners to assess the hackability of their networks, systems, processes, and people and take the necessary actions to prevent that.

What's the difference between penetration testing services and vulnerability assessment?

arrow-5
Vulnerability assessment is the technique used to identify, classify, and prioritize issues in infrastructures, apps, and systems. It is usually conducted using automated testing tools, including network vulnerability scanners.

How much does a penetration testing service cost?

arrow-5
The cost of penetration testing managed service or cloud penetration testing services depends on several factors, including the type of selected pentest methodology, the complexity and scale of the organization, the number of clouds, IPs, applications, and more. You can check the average price for penetration test services or contact our experts and get a free quote today.

How long does a penetration test take?

arrow-5

On average, cyber security testing services take around 3 working weeks, depending on the size and complexity of an organization. A typical timeline for a pentest includes the following stages:

  1. Planning. Together with you, we define and document test objectives, scope of work, start date, and engagement model for the pen test as a service team.

  2. Reconnaissance. Depending on the selected pen testing as a service methodology, we collect the necessary information regarding targeted apps and infrastructure, roles, credentials, business logic, and more.

  3. Vulnerability discovery and exploitation. Our ethical hackers manually test the defined assets to identify security weaknesses, gaps in design and architecture, and process loopholes. They exploit all the discovered vulnerabilities to evaluate the risk level of each issue and potential harm to the business.

  4. Reporting. The UnderDefense pen testing team creates a detailed report on all the findings, including all the evidence and artifacts like videos and screenshots. Additionally, our experts prepare a list of tactical recommendations on how to solve each vulnerability quickly and effectively. The working results are presented to the client.

  5. Free post-remediation testing. When all the improvements and changes are made, our ethical hackers are ready to check fixed vulnerabilities and retest the targeted assets. Upon completing the assessment, you get a professional attestation letter confirming your security rating.

How often should penetration tests be conducted?

arrow-5
We recommend performing pen tests at least once a year. However, you should also take into account the following factors:
  • Regulatory Requirements – Compliance standards like PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 may require more frequent testing.
  • Significant Changes – Conduct a test after major infrastructure, application, or system updates.
  • Incident Response – If a security breach occurs, a pen test can help identify vulnerabilities that were exploited.
  • Business Risk – High-risk industries or businesses handling sensitive data may need more frequent testing.
  • Threat Landscape – Emerging threats may necessitate additional assessments to stay ahead of attackers.

When can you start pen testing?

arrow-5
UnderDefense offers a flexible business approach that depends on the specific situation. We encourage you to contact our sales representatives and discuss how quickly you need us to get started.

What methodologies for a pentest as a service do you use?

arrow-5
We follow proven and globally recognized methodologies like the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES), OWASP Top 10 Web Application Security Risks, OWASP Web Security Testing Guide, and the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM).

Do you store the results of penetration services?

arrow-5
We send you the testing results via an encrypted channel and do not collect or store the results after that.
