INTERNAL PENETRATION TESTING SERVICES
Discover vulnerabilities, privilege-escalation paths, weak configurations, and lateral-movement opportunities that could allow an attacker to compromise your internal environment.
HOW DO WE WORK?
1. Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
Overview: Establish formal confidentiality protections prior to sharing sensitive infrastructure details or technical assets.
Key Focus: Protects proprietary intelligence and ensures all uncovered vulnerabilities remain strictly confidential throughout the project life cycle.
2. Scop of Work
Overview: Gather primary technical details regarding targets, environments, and desired security evaluations.
Key Focus: Identifies network boundaries, IP ranges, target host counts, web application endpoints, and preferred testing depth (black-box, grey-box, or white-box).
3. Pre-Engagement Consultation
Overview: Direct strategy discussion between key business stakeholders and technical leads to align expectations.
Key Focus: Clarifies assessment boundaries, reviews questionnaire findings, evaluates operational risks, and lays the foundation for the Scope of Work (SoW).
4. Contract & Rules of Engagement (RoE)
Overview: Execution of formal operational protocols, legal approvals, and binding project parameters.
Key Focus: Defines allowed attack vectors, emergency escalation pathways, operational schedules, legal disclaimers, and authorized testing windows.
5. Project Meeting
Overview: Final operational alignment conducted right before security testing begins.
Key Focus: Confirms live communication channels, verifies emergency contacts for critical findings, and establishes real-time status reporting schedules.
6. Physical Clearance Agreement
Overview: Specialized authorization required exclusively when physical penetration testing or facility intrusion is requested.
Key Focus: Serves as explicit authorization to protect assessment personnel from legal issues during physical security evaluations.
INTERNAL PENETRATION TESTING
Inside the network.
- Evaluate the internal network infrastructure for vulnerabilities, exposed services, insecure configurations, and potential attack paths
- Assess Active Directory configurations, authentication mechanisms, permissions, and trust relationships for security weaknesses.
- Examine internal servers and workstations for vulnerabilities, insecure configurations, outdated software, and unnecessary exposure.
- Identify and safely validate opportunities that could allow a user with limited privileges to obtain higher-level access.
- Evaluate authentication mechanisms, account permissions, and access controls to identify unauthorized access opportunities.
- Assess whether network segmentation and access restrictions effectively limit unauthorized communication between systems and network zones.
- Identify internal vulnerabilities and safely validate their potential impact within the authorized testing scope.
- Evaluate whether an attacker who compromises one internal system could move to additional systems or resources.
- Review system configurations and security controls to identify weaknesses that could increase the risk of compromise.
- Document identified vulnerabilities, their potential impact, supporting evidence, and practical recommendations for remediation.
