Penetration Testing

cimply’s penetration testing puts experienced operators against your systems with the same techniques real attackers use. The findings are clear, the report is actionable, the path to fix is laid out.

The Business Challenge

Most businesses assume their defences hold, until someone honest tests them.

Automated scans miss what a thinking attacker would find. A skilled human test exposes the actual paths through, in time to close them.

What’s included

  • External network testing

    Internet-facing infrastructure tested for the paths an external attacker would explore.

  • Internal network testing

    Assumed-breach scenarios tested from inside the network, the way modern attackers actually operate.

  • Wireless network testing

    Wi-Fi tested for weak encryption, rogue access points and guest networks that quietly reach systems they should not.

  • API and web application testing

    Public and authenticated app surfaces tested against the OWASP top categories and the flaws that matter to your business.

  • Cloud and identity testing

    Microsoft 365, Azure and AWS configurations tested for the misconfigurations that lead to real-world breaches.

  • Entra and Active Directory review

    On-premises and hybrid AD examined for the configuration weaknesses that turn one foothold into full compromise.

  • Scoping and rules of engagement

    What is in scope, what is out and how the test will be conducted, captured in writing before any work begins.

  • Clear, prioritised reporting

    Findings rated by exploitability and business impact, with remediation steps written in language your team can use.

  • Retest and validation

    After remediation, findings are retested and the report is updated, so closure is verifiable.

Why it matters

  • You know what the gaps actually are. Real attack paths are documented. Theoretical risk becomes specific risk you can address.
  • Remediation gets prioritised properly. Findings ranked by exploitability and business impact mean the right things get fixed first.
  • Insurance and compliance conversations get easier. Independent testing is increasingly expected. cimply delivers it in a form insurers and auditors recognise.
  • Confidence is something you can demonstrate. Boards, clients and regulators respond to evidence. A clean retest is the evidence.
  • The next test is easier. Retesting on a regular cadence keeps posture strong. Each cycle is faster because the foundation improves.
