External Network Penetration Testing
Perimeter testing from the attacker’s vantage point across your internet-facing estate.
External network penetration testing assesses your internet-facing estate from an attacker’s vantage point — enumerating exposed services, misconfigurations, and known-CVE exposure that provide a foothold into your network.
Where attackers get in — and where we look.
Exposed service enumeration
Perimeter misconfiguration
Credential exposure
VPN & remote access
Known-CVE exploitation
A proof-driven methodology.
Scope & recon
We agree objectives and rules of engagement, then map what you actually expose.
Map the attack surface
Enumerate entry points, roles, and trust boundaries a real attacker would target.
Manual exploitation
Certified testers exploit flaws by hand — chaining issues scanners never connect.
Prove impact
Every finding ships with a working, reproducible proof-of-exploit and business context.
Report & retest
Risk-ranked report with fixes, then a retest that confirms each issue is closed.
Proof you can act on.
Reproducible proof-of-exploit
Every finding ships with a working exploit and evidence.
Risk-ranked report
CVSS + business context, prioritized for your team.
Remediation guidance
Actionable fixes mapped to each finding.
Retest to verified fix
We confirm closure — proof it’s fixed, not assumed.
Make it continuous.
Pair this test with a program that keeps coverage live between engagements.
Attack Surface Management
Continuous discovery and monitoring of your internet-facing assets and exposures.
Continuous Penetration Testing
Testing that keeps pace with weekly releases, so coverage never goes stale.
Compliance Penetration Testing
Evidence-ready testing for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and more.
External Network Penetration Testing — questions buyers ask.
What’s the difference between external and internal testing?
External testing starts from the internet with no access; internal testing assumes a foothold and looks at what an attacker does next inside the perimeter.
How often should we run external testing?
At least annually and after significant perimeter change — or continuously, since internet-facing assets change constantly. Ask about our PTaaS program.
Do you test for known CVEs and misconfigurations?
Yes, and we manually verify exploitability so you do not waste time on false positives from a scanner.
Prove what an attacker could actually do.
A short scoping call, no obligation.
