Network Penetration Testing
Manual network penetration testing from our team in Reykjavík, Iceland. We test internal networks, external perimeters, and Active Directory environments to find real attack paths before threat actors do. On-site across Iceland, remote globally.
Our penetration testing team holds industry-recognized certifications
Automated Tools Miss Context
Many organizations rely solely on automated vulnerability scanners to check their security. While useful, these tools only scratch the surface. They can find a missing patch, but they cannot think like a human hacker. They cannot chain together three minor weaknesses to steal your administrative passwords, and they cannot exploit logic flaws in your cloud configurations.
The Solution: Human-Led Offensive Security
Network Penetration Testing is a controlled, authorized cyberattack on your infrastructure. Our certified ethical hackers simulate a real-world adversary—using the same tools and techniques as criminal groups—to test the resilience of your External, Internal, and Cloud environments.
How We Help
We don’t just hand you a list of bugs; we demonstrate risk.
- External Testing: We attack from the internet, probing your firewalls and remote access points to see what can be breached from the outside.
- Internal Testing: We simulate an "Insider Threat" (or a compromised laptop), testing how far an attacker can move laterally once inside your network.
- Cloud Testing: We audit your AWS/Azure environments for misconfigurations that leave data exposed.
All testing is performed strictly by industry-certified professionals, ensuring a rigorous, safe, and professional engagement.
Manual Exploitation
We go beyond "Click and Scan." Our experts manually craft exploits to verify vulnerabilities, filtering out false positives and demonstrating real business impact.
Lateral Movement Simulation
We test your internal segmentation. If we compromise a receptionist's PC, can we pivot through the network to reach the CEO's email or the Finance server?
Active Directory (AD) Auditing
The heart of your network. We specifically target Active Directory to identify weak permissions, Kerberoasting attacks, and paths to Domain Admin privilege.
Cloud Configuration Review
We assess your cloud perimeter (AWS/Azure/GCP) for dangerous settings, such as public storage buckets, overly permissive IAM roles, and weak API keys.
Executive & Technical Reporting
In the report you can expect: a high-level executive summary explaining the business risk in plain English, and a detailed technical guide for your engineers on how to fix every issue.
Key Benefits of Network Penetration Testing
A professional network penetration test delivers measurable, actionable results that go far beyond what any automated scanner can provide.
Find What Attackers Would Find Our testers think and act like real adversaries. We discover exploitable vulnerabilities — misconfigurations, weak credentials, unpatched systems, and logic flaws — before malicious actors do.
Satisfy Compliance Requirements Annual or periodic penetration testing is required by ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, NIS2, and many other frameworks. Our reports are structured to meet auditor and certification body expectations.
Prioritize Remediation by Real Risk Not every vulnerability is equal. We demonstrate actual exploitability and business impact so your team can fix the highest-risk issues first, rather than chasing CVSS scores.
Protect Your Reputation A breach affects customer trust, partner relationships, and public reputation. Identifying and fixing vulnerabilities proactively is far less costly than responding to an incident.
Build Security Confidence Regular testing builds confidence — for your leadership team, your board, your clients, and your insurers — that your defenses are being validated by independent experts.

FAQ
What does a network penetration test include?
Our network pentest covers external perimeter testing, internal network assessment (simulating an insider threat or compromised endpoint), Active Directory enumeration and exploitation, and cloud environment configuration review (AWS/Azure). Every engagement includes both automated scanning and deep manual exploitation.
How long does a network penetration test take?
Most engagements run 5 to 10 business days depending on scope, network size, and complexity. We agree on a clear timeline before testing begins so you can plan accordingly.
Do you test on-site or remotely?
Both. We conduct on-site engagements across Iceland and deliver remote testing globally. For internal network assessments we typically use a VPN tunnel or a pre-positioned device on your network.
What methodology do you follow?
We follow a manual-first approach aligned with PTES, OWASP Testing Guide, and NIST SP 800-115. Our testers use the same tools and techniques as real-world threat actors — not just vulnerability scanners.
Who carries out the testing?
All testing is performed by our in-house OSCP, PNPT, and eJPT certified professionals. We do not outsource or offshore any engagement.
What do we receive after the test?
An executive summary for management and a technical report with every finding, reproduction steps, risk rating, and a prioritized remediation roadmap. We also offer a free re-test of critical findings after remediation.
