Testing Internal & External Facing Assets
There Are Two Stages of Infrastructure Testing
Internal Penetration Test
Our Internal Infrastructure Penetration Testing service is performed by a qualified Pentest People Infrastructure security consultant who is onsite within your corporate network.
This type of Internal Penetration Testing looks for security issues and vulnerabilities on the inside of your corporate network. For instance, someone with the same physical access as a member of staff or other types of employee who has access to the building.
This Infrastructure Penetration Testing Assessment provides a very comprehensive view of the configuration of your corporate network devices and servers, from a security viewpoint of an insider, connected to your network.
External Penetration Testing
Our External Penetration Testing service is performed by a Pentest People Infrastructure security consultant whilst remote from your corporate network.
This type of assessment is concerned with assessing the external, Internet-facing infrastructure of your corporate network. This could be your Firewall, VPN endpoints, Web Servers, Mail Servers etc.
The level of access to these resources would be the same as an external hacker trying to break into your corporate environment. Therefore providing you with a real risk indicator as to your external security posture.

An Infrastructure Penetration Test Combines Manual Testing & Vulnerability Scanning
Infrastructure penetration testing is a critical component of an organisation's cybersecurity strategy, designed to identify and address potential weaknesses in its IT infrastructure.
It involves simulating real-world cyberattacks to evaluate the effectiveness of security measures and uncover vulnerabilities that malicious actors could exploit. Two primary approaches are employed within this realm: manual penetration testing and vulnerability scanning.

Scoping & Intelligence Gathering
Our experts will listen to you and your needs to develop a tailored testing strategy. From here our consultants will use a wide variety of penetration testing tools and resources to gather information on your organisation.
Reporting & Remediation
Now the test is complete our consultants will fill out a detailed report of their findings, broken down by category and type, adding any remediation advice to the exploits and vulnerabilities they discovered. This data will be accessible via SecurePortal and follow up calls will be made to walkthrough the test and the steps required to remove the risks found.
Test Remotely With SecureGateway
Traditionally, Infrastructure Penetration Tests have been conducted onsite, where a Pentest People Consultant would visit your office and physically connect to the network infrastructure to perform the assessment.
Pentest People are offering a Remote Infrastructure Penetration Test where the whole engagement is performed without the need to visit the customer site.
The client can either download a Virtual Machine image that can be installed within the corporate network or be shipped a standalone network appliance.
Both solutions create a secure channel to the Pentest People Operations Centre where the assigned consultant can command the image or appliance in the same way as they would if they had their laptop on site.
All data collected during the test is held securely at our ISO27001 Operations Centre, allowing the consultant to perform the assessment and upload the results to SecurePortal for delivery to the customer.
Make Your Testing Experience Easier with SecurePortal
SecurePortal provides clients with a new way to monitor and analyse the data you receive in your penetration tests. Rather than a lengthy physical report you gain a range of simple features that highlight your test findings and vulnerabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an Internal and External Penetration Test?
An Internal Penetration Test is where a consultant would be placed within your corporate environment and connected to your internal network looking for security issues from the inside. An External Penetration Test is where a consultant looks for security issues from the outside of your network, generally over the public Internet.
What is the difference between a Vulnerability Scan and a Penetration Test?
A Vulnerability Scan is performed by a software tool that scans the network and checks available services for known vulnerabilities. A Penetration Test takes this one step further and uses a consultant to check for vulnerabilities that an automated scanner cannot find as well as to manually confirm any identified vulnerabilities.
What is an Infrastructure Penetration Test?
An infrastructure penetration test is a process that identifies and assesses security vulnerabilities in an organisations IT infrastructure, including servers, networks, and critical components. By simulating real-world attacks, these tests uncover vulnerabilities, enabling organisations to prioritise and address them, ultimately strengthening their overall security posture.
What is the deliverable from the Infrastrcuture Penetration Test?
The deliverable from this service is a full Penetration Test Report that is uploaded to our SecurePortal and available for you to interact with. This differs from the competition in the way this is delivered and we believe this is a much clearer way to work with an manage the results of the assessment.
