Comprehensive penetration testing for digital products & infrastructure

Penetration testing

With the help of penetration tests, we can uncover security vulnerabilities and issues in your IT infrastructure, apps, and websites.

Penetration tests are the cornerstone of IT security and should be conducted continuously - for example, when there are changes in the code. Regular penetration tests of relevant assets, such as web applications, APIs, mobile apps, or general services, foster trust in your IT security.

Fundamentals & Expectations

What is a penetration test?

A penetration test is a targeted, manual security test against systems, applications, or entire infrastructures. Our Offensive Security experts think and act like attackers to uncover vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. Typical targets include web and mobile applications, APIs, internal and external networks, or IoT and cloud environments.

Every test is individually tailored to your company: We jointly define scope, testing depth, critical assets, and ground rules. This ensures that your systems remain available and the test delivers meaningful results. Larger companies often bring existing asset lists or ISMS structures - we integrate this information directly into the planning.

At the end, there's always a result that enables decisions: An understandable management summary, a technical section with proof-of-concepts, CVSS classification, reproduction steps, and clearly prioritized action recommendations. Upon request, we accompany your team during fixing and conduct retests until all findings are properly closed.

Avoid security incidents before they happen - we provide you with clarity about your risk within days.

Why penetration tests are essential

Modern IT landscapes change quickly. That's exactly why regular pentests are mandatory: We uncover vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them and provide you with a clear basis for decisions. From web and mobile applications to APIs and cloud platforms, we test every relevant asset in a targeted manner.

Compliance requirements like ISO 27001, GDPR, TISAX, SOC 2, or industry-specific regulations regularly require verifiable security measures. A documented penetration test provides evidence to auditors, customers, and partners - and prevents costly security incidents.

1

Identified Vulnerabilities

We find known and unknown vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and logic errors - including reliable proof-of-concepts.

2

Concrete Action Plan

Each finding includes prioritization, technical details, and action recommendations. So your team can start fixing immediately.

3

Retest & Quality Assurance

Retests ensure that all measures are effective. Upon request, we document the results for your auditors.

4

Strategic Recommendations

We show you how to improve your security processes, which investments are worthwhile, and where automation can help.

Further questions and answers on the topic "Penetration Testing"

How long does a typical Penetration Testing process take with DSecured?

The duration of a penetration test depends heavily on the complexity of the system to be tested and the scope of the desired tests. A comprehensive penetration test usually takes between 3 days and 3 weeks. You can obtain recommendations on the duration from our experts.

Can a security audit deliver the same result as a pentest?

Pure IT security audits can hardly be compared with a pentest. Although they uncover vulnerabilities, they cannot test the actual exploitability. A penetration test is therefore the better choice if you want to test the security of your systems realistically.

What sectors does DSecured specialize in for Penetration Testing?

Our team excels in numerous sectors, including but not limited to finance, healthcare, and technology. Each field requires a tailored approach, & that's where our bespoke expertise shines brightly.

After Penetration Testing, what type of report does DSecured provide?

The end product should usually be a report. This contains a management summary and a technical section. The latter is intended for the IT department and contains detailed information on the vulnerabilities found as well as recommendations for remediation.

How does DSecured ensure the security & confidentiality of the data during Penetration Testing?

We treat data protection seriously & adhere to strict confidentiality protocols. During tests, all information is handled with the utmost discretion. Plus, we're engaged under clear legal frameworks that safeguard all parties involved.

Can DSecured's team test systems that are not publicly accessible?

This is not a problem - there are several ways in which our team can test a non-public system. For example, VPN or on-site.

How frequently should a pentest be performed?

Most companies repeat their penetration tests once a year. However, modern IT is dynamic - so security tests should also be carried out more frequently - or at least when there have been major changes. Pentest as a Service closes the gap to the classic pentest.

What happens if DSecured finds a critical vulnerability?

If a critical flaw is uncovered, we promptly inform you while simultaneously recommending immediate actions to mitigate the risk. Our goal is to aid you in fortifying your systems swiftly & effectively.

Which specific tools are used in a pentest?

It depends on the penetration test - for a penetration test against API or web applications, Burp Suite is the tool of choice. DSecured has also developed a number of private tools for finding vulnerabilities that are always used. Other tools worth mentioning are of course nmap, Nessus, Metasploit and many more.

Are there different levels of penetration tests?

Yes, we can perform a penetration test with different levels of intensity - starting from a rough one, covering only the most important things, to a regular, very detailed penetration test.

How do you ensure that the penetration test itself does not cause any damage?

The simplest method is to use a special isolated test system. This is created exclusively for the test and does not contain any real data. This ensures that no damage is caused to your production system.
