PENETRATION TESTING
Find vulnerabilities before attackers do. PTG penetration testing simulates real-world attacks to identify weaknesses in your network, applications, and defenses.
Testing Types
- External network penetration testing
- Internal network penetration testing
- Web application security testing
- Social engineering and phishing simulations
What You Receive
- Detailed findings report with evidence
- Risk-ranked vulnerability list
- Remediation recommendations
- Executive summary for leadership
How Penetration Testing Works
A structured approach to finding and fixing vulnerabilities.
Scoping
Define targets, rules of engagement, and testing objectives.
Reconnaissance
Gather intelligence about your attack surface.
Exploitation
Attempt to exploit discovered vulnerabilities.
Reporting
Document findings with evidence and remediation guidance.
Remediation Support
PTG helps implement fixes for identified vulnerabilities.
Retest
Verify that fixes are effective after remediation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should we conduct penetration testing?
At minimum annually, or after significant infrastructure changes. Many compliance frameworks require annual testing.
Is penetration testing required for compliance?
Yes for many frameworks including PCI DSS, CMMC Level 2, and SOC 2. HIPAA strongly recommends it as part of risk management.
Will testing disrupt our operations?
Testing is carefully scoped and scheduled to minimize any impact. Critical systems can be tested during maintenance windows.
What is the difference between a vulnerability scan and a pen test?
Vulnerability scans are automated and identify known weaknesses. Penetration testing involves skilled testers who attempt to actually exploit vulnerabilities, providing a realistic assessment of your defenses.
Does PTG provide remediation?
Yes. We provide detailed remediation guidance and can implement the fixes as part of our managed services.
