What is Internal Penetration Testing?
Internal Penetration Testing is a proactive security assessment designed to evaluate the security posture of your organisation’s internal network. This test simulates an attack by an insider threat or an external attacker who has gained a foothold in your environment, helping to uncover vulnerabilities such as weak credentials, misconfigurations, outdated software, and improper access controls.

Types of Internal Penetration Testing
How Internal Penetration Testing Works

Scoping & Planning
We work with you to define the scope, objectives, and compliance requirements of the test.

Reconnaissance & Enumeration
Our security experts gather intelligence on your internal network, identifying potential entry points.

Exploitation
Using ethical hacking techniques, we attempt to exploit vulnerabilities to assess the level of risk.

Privilege Escalation & Lateral Movement
We simulate real-world attack scenarios to determine how an attacker might gain control over critical systems.

Reporting & Remediation Guidance
A detailed report is provided with findings, risk assessments, and actionable recommendations for mitigation.
