Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our manual penetration testing services

What makes manual penetration testing different from automated scanning?

+

Manual penetration testing involves human experts who think like real attackers, identifying complex vulnerabilities that automated tools miss. While automated scanners find known vulnerabilities, manual testing discovers business logic flaws, complex attack chains, and zero-day vulnerabilities. Our experts can understand context, chain exploits together, and assess real-world impact in ways that automated tools cannot.

How long does a manual penetration test take?

+

The duration depends on the scope and complexity of your application. A typical web application test takes 1-2 weeks, while complex enterprise applications may require 3-4 weeks. We provide detailed timelines during our scoping phase, ensuring thorough testing without disrupting your business operations.

What types of vulnerabilities do you look for?

+

We test for a comprehensive range of vulnerabilities including OWASP Top 10, business logic flaws, authentication bypasses, authorization issues, injection attacks, XSS, CSRF, insecure direct object references, security misconfigurations, and custom vulnerabilities specific to your application architecture.

Will the testing impact my production environment?

+

We follow safe testing methodologies to minimize any impact on your production systems. Our approach includes careful scoping, non-destructive testing methods, and coordination with your team to schedule testing during appropriate windows. We can also work in staging environments when available.

What deliverables will I receive?

+

You'll receive a comprehensive report including executive summary, detailed technical findings, proof-of-concept exploits, business impact assessment, risk ratings, and specific remediation guidance. We also provide a retest service to verify fixes and can present findings to your technical and executive teams.

Do you provide remediation support?

+

Yes, we provide detailed remediation guidance for each vulnerability found, including code examples and best practices. We also offer consultation during the remediation process and can perform retesting to verify that vulnerabilities have been properly addressed.

How do you ensure confidentiality and data protection?

+

We maintain strict confidentiality through comprehensive NDAs, secure communication channels, encrypted data handling, and secure destruction of test data after project completion. Our team follows industry best practices for data protection and maintains professional certifications requiring ethical conduct.

What compliance standards do your tests help meet?

+

Our manual penetration testing helps meet various compliance requirements including PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX, ISO 27001, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and GDPR. We can tailor our testing approach to address specific compliance requirements and provide documentation needed for audits.
