Network security assessment

See your network the way an attacker sees it.

External and internal network testing, with clear advice on what to close, patch or separate.

Why teams call us

Problems this solves

  • 01

    Services exposed by accident

    Remote desktop, databases or admin panels reachable from the internet.

  • 02

    A flat internal network

    One infected laptop can reach servers, backups and finance systems.

  • 03

    Old devices and firmware

    Routers, firewalls and printers that have not been patched in years.

  • 04

    Remote access added in a hurry

    VPNs and remote tools set up quickly and never reviewed.

Our approach

We test from outside, as an internet attacker would, and from inside, as a compromised device or insider would. The goal is to show which systems can be reached, which can be exploited, and how far an attacker could move.

Findings come with hardening steps for each device or service, and recommendations on segmentation so that one problem stays contained.

Cybersecurity

What is included

  • External testing

    Internet-facing services, VPNs and remote access.

  • Internal testing

    Lateral movement, Active Directory weaknesses and segmentation.

  • Wireless review

    Wi-Fi encryption, guest isolation and rogue access points.

  • Device configuration

    Firewalls, routers and switches reviewed against best practice.

  • Patch and exposure review

    Missing updates and end-of-life systems.

  • Segmentation advice

    Practical zones for servers, users, guests and devices.

Industries

How an engagement runs

Every engagement starts with a signed agreement and an advance payment as set out in your proposal. Work begins once both are complete.

  1. 01

    Scope

    IP ranges, sites, testing windows and on-site or remote access agreed.

  2. 02

    Discover

    Hosts, services and paths mapped.

  3. 03

    Test

    Exploitation attempts within the agreed rules.

  4. 04

    Report and retest

    Findings, hardening plan and retest.

Frequently asked questions

Can't find your answer? Ask us

Do you need to be on site?
Internal testing can usually be done remotely through a small device or virtual machine placed on your network. On-site visits can be arranged where needed.
Will testing slow the network?
Scans are tuned and scheduled to avoid disruption. Sensitive systems can be excluded or tested in agreed windows.
Do you test operational technology?
OT networks need special care. We scope them separately and agree safety limits with your engineers first.
