Pentest efficiency
72 % of organizations reported that penetration testing had helped prevent an actual security breach (Core Security, 2024 Penetration Testing Survey Report).
Premium pen testing lead by world leading ethical hackers
A penetration test (pentest) is a controlled, ethical simulation of a cyberattack designed to identify system weaknesses, assess how far a real attacker could go, and determine what must be fixed urgently or strategically.
It is a proactive approach that enables organizations to act before real incidents occur and is a key requirement in many compliance frameworks such as GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001, and cybersecurity insurance.
You receive an action-oriented penetration testing report designed for both executives and technical teams.
It includes a clear executive summary outlining overall risk, key vulnerabilities, business impact, and priority actions, as well as a detailed technical report with vulnerability listings, risk ratings, evidence, and tailored remediation guidance.
The report serves as a practical roadmap to strengthen security, support audits, and demonstrate cyber maturity.
How it works
Every penetration test we conduct follows a rigorous methodology, led by human experts:
1. Scoping & Strategy
Together, we define the scope of the test:
-
Web application, internal network, API, cloud infrastructure, etc.
We tailor the type of test to your needs:
-
Black Box: no prior access — like an external attacker
-
Grey Box: limited access — like a malicious insider
-
White Box: full access to code or systems — for an in-depth assessment
2. Reconnaissance & Mapping
We gather information (OSINT, fingerprinting, etc.) to map your environment and identify potential entry points.
3. Vulnerability Analysis
We combine automated tools with manual testing to detect both known and unknown vulnerabilities, applying expert judgment throughout.
4. Exploitation
We simulate real-world attacks to demonstrate what an attacker could actually achieve:
-
Access sensitive data
-
Compromise systems
-
Escalate privileges
5. Pivoting (if applicable)
If an intrusion allows lateral movement, we assess how far an attacker could propagate within your infrastructure.
6. Cleanup
We remove all traces of the test, revoke temporary access, and return a clean, secure environment.
Identify your weaknesses before hackers doIn cybersecurity, you can’t protect what you can’t see.A penetration test simulates a real attack against your systems to uncover vulnerabilities before they are exploited by malicious actors.At Varden Security, we don’t just scan your systems — we think like hackers to help you strengthen your defenses with precision and effectiveness.
