TESTING & ASSESSMENT
Network Penetration Testing
Understand how far a network weakness could reach.
CyberXpert tests agreed internal and external network boundaries to identify exploitable exposure and paths towards important systems. The assessment connects technical findings to access, segmentation and business impact.
Discuss network testingWHO THIS HELPS
Validate the boundaries around critical systems.
For organisations changing infrastructure, reviewing remote access or validating whether internal boundaries protect critical assets.
THE PROBLEM TO SOLVE
An exposed service or over-permissive account may matter far more when combined with weak segmentation. A network test explores those relationships within written authorisation.
What you receive
Receive an executive risk summary and technical report showing the affected assets, observed attack paths, limitations and recommended remediation sequence.
An external test examines the agreed internet-facing assets; an internal test starts from an authorised position inside the environment and can examine relevant access or segmentation boundaries. The agreed scope records owned targets, the permitted starting access, exclusions, stop conditions and the people who own remediation. Neither route implies that every connected system is in scope.
How delivery works
We confirm ownership and permission, establish safe access and test windows, agree stop conditions and assess the defined estate. High-impact techniques require explicit agreement.
After delivery
Fixes can be validated by retesting. Recurring vulnerability management helps track changes between deeper assessments.
What shapes scope and price
IP ranges, exposed services, internal access, directory complexity, segmentation objectives and on-site needs influence scope. Wireless testing and third-party infrastructure must be agreed separately.
Your proposal sets out the deliverables, assumptions, exclusions and responsibilities before work begins. No fixed price or contractual inclusion is implied by this page.
A DEFINED ENGAGEMENT
What the work can cover.
01
External or internal scope covering systems, ranges and exclusions.
02
Review and validation of exposed services and relevant configuration weaknesses.
03
Agreed checks of identity, privilege and network segmentation.
04
Evidence, prioritised fixes and a technical debrief.
Questions worth asking.
Do you need permission from our hosting provider?
Ownership and provider rules must be checked before testing. The customer must arrange any required third-party authorisation.
Is destructive testing included?
No destructive activity is assumed. Any high-impact technique needs explicit written agreement and suitable safeguards.
Should we test the internal or external network?
The choice follows the threat and business objective. External testing examines agreed internet-facing exposure; internal testing examines reachable services and paths from a defined position inside the network. They answer different questions and can be scoped together.
How are network changes coordinated during a test?
We agree test windows, contacts and escalation arrangements with the system owners. Significant network or access changes should be communicated because they can affect coverage and the interpretation of findings. Testing stays within the authorised boundaries.
How can our IT provider use the findings?
The report should connect evidence to affected services, attack paths and remediation priorities. Your provider can plan changes and supply evidence for a retest. Implementation work and validation should have named owners and an agreed scope.
LET’S DEFINE THE RIGHT SCOPE
Plan your network penetration test
Tell us whether you need external, internal or segmentation testing and identify the systems you own. We can agree boundaries, provider permissions and operational safeguards.
