Security Assurance Specialists
We simulate the techniques and tradecraft leveraged by advanced cyber attackers to deliver an authentic assessment of your resilience to real-world cyber threats.
What is Penetration Testing?
Identifying and remediating exploitable vulnerabilities and misconfigurations is a staple of the cyber security services industry but can often fail to reflect the real ways an attacker will target an organisation.
Our flexible testing model and threat-led approach pinpoints the areas of greatest risk from the perspective of an attacker, aligning the cost of control with risk exposure for optimal security testing and remediation.
JUMPSEC Penetration Testing services simulate the techniques and tradecraft leveraged by advanced cyber attackers, to deliver robust assurances that you are secure from cyber threats. JUMPSEC services are designed to help clients to both understand and reduce their risk exposure by delivering an authentic assessment of resilience to real-world cyber threats.
JUMPSEC’s testing approach uses methodologies derived from a range of industry best practices, testing frameworks and standards. JUMPSEC consultants are suitably qualified and experienced, with certifications from industry recognised bodies such as CREST, attesting to our technical and professional standards.
Types of Penetration Testing Services
The list below isn’t exhaustive, and we regularly combine elements (and add new ones) to create custom solutions, solving unique challenges and delivering specific outcomes for our clients.
Network Infrastructure Penetration Testing
Maintaining a robust network infrastructure is critical to preventing the disruption or destruction of critical business services. Network testing involves assessing all connected devices and infrastructure, including routers, switches, systems, and hosts. Conducted both externally and internally to evaluate the vulnerability of the network to breaches and the effectiveness of defensive measures.
Application Penetration Testing
Regular security testing is crucial for digital applications. It identifies vulnerabilities that could impact system or data confidentiality, integrity, or availability. Our methodology combines automated and manual testing from authenticated and unauthenticated perspectives. This approach addresses key vulnerability types and enables human testers to discover complex vulnerabilities intuitively.
Cloud Security Assessment
Cloud testing focuses on auditing controls applied from the management plane, rather than testing underlying infrastructure vulnerabilities. We combine automated tools and manual investigation from an authenticated perspective to identify deployed services and any misconfigurations or control gaps.
Threat Led Penetration Testing
Combine routine pen testing non-negotiables within an advanced adversarial simulation engagement. Mimic the tactics, techniques and procedures of real-life threat actors perceived as posing a genuine cyber threat that delivers a controlled, bespoke, intelligence-led (red team) test.
AI Penetration Testing
Specialised AI penetration testing and LLM testing services to safeguard your valuable technologies.
Physical Penetration Testing
Cyber attackers use both virtual and physical methods to achieve their goals. Criminals can bypass virtual controls by physically accessing internal systems and stored information. We conduct covert and collaborative assessments to evaluate physical controls and safeguards, enhancing resilience to hybrid attacks.
Managed Vulnerability Scanning
Regular vulnerability scanning complements manual penetration testing by providing early identification and remediation of known-bad vulnerabilities. We offer cost-effective security protection and continuous scanning to address emerging vulnerabilities, reducing the exploitation window for attackers.
Build & Configuration Review
Enhancing the security of networked devices is a cost-effective and scalable way to raise the organisation’s security baseline. We audit operating system and security configurations on servers, workstations, and other devices to improve default controls against common attacker tactics such as privilege escalation, malware delivery, and software vulnerability exploitation.
Firewall Configuration Review
Secure firewall configuration relies on defined rules to monitor and filter network traffic. We assess the effectiveness of these rules to ensure the firewall configuration is appropriate, reducing the attack surface and minimising risk.
Code Security Review
In-depth code analysis ensures an application adheres to industry best practices. We use dynamic and static analysis, both manual and automated, to uncover sophisticated vulnerabilities missed in routine testing. This is reserved for in-house, custom-developed applications with strict compliance requirements, representing the highest level of assessment.

CREST penetration testing: how to ensure industry-leading standards
As cyber threats continue to grow in frequency and sophistication, organisations need to adopt rigorous and reliable testing methodologies to safeguard their digital environments. CREST penetration testing offers a benchmark for quality and professionalism in this space, ensuring that assessments are both thorough and ethical.
What is the difference between security and penetration testing
Cyber security is a critical aspect of any organisation’s operations, ensuring systems, data and users remain protected from threats. Two commonly discussed concepts in this domain are security testing and penetration testing. While they may seem interchangeable, these terms refer to distinct processes, each with unique purposes and methodologies.
Finding the right security penetration testing company for your business
When it comes to safeguarding your business against cyber threats, choosing the right security penetration testing company is critical. With the increasing sophistication of cyberattacks, investing in security penetration testing services is not just a precaution—it’s a necessity.
Security penetration testing: A guide to protecting your business
As firms face a constant barrage of cyber threats, security penetration testing (often shortened to pen testing) is one of the most effective strategies to proactively safeguard your systems against potential attacks.
Ethical Hacking vs. Vulnerability Assessment: Understanding the Differences
In the dynamic field of cybersecurity, two essential practices stand out: Ethical Hacking and Vulnerability Assessment. Both play critical roles in safeguarding digital assets, yet they serve different purposes and employ distinct methodologies.
