Penetration Testing
Validate, Exploit, Secure

Controlled, ethical security assessment that simulates real-world cyberattacks to identify and exploit vulnerabilities—validating how weaknesses can be exploited, the potential business impact, and how far an attacker could progress within your environment.

Beyond Identification: Validate Exploitability

Vulnerability Assessment identifies weaknesses. Penetration Testing goes further—actively exploiting vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world impact, attack paths, and business risk. This adversarial simulation provides the evidence needed to prioritize remediation and validate security controls.

iGlobus Penetration Testing service is a controlled, ethical security assessment that simulates real-world cyberattacks to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in your systems, applications, or infrastructure. Our approach is aligned with industry standards such as OWASP, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and ISO/IEC 27001, delivering actionable insights that strengthen your security posture.

"Penetration testing answers the critical question: 'If a vulnerability exists, can it actually be exploited, and what damage would it cause?'"

Our Methodology

Structured Penetration Testing Framework

A rigorous, ethical approach aligned with industry best practices.

Reconnaissance & Scoping

Gather intelligence, define test boundaries, and establish rules of engagement with stakeholders.

  • Open-source intelligence (OSINT)
  • Asset discovery & fingerprinting
  • Scope definition & success criteria

Vulnerability Analysis

Identify potential entry points and security weaknesses using automated tools and manual techniques.

  • Automated scanning
  • Manual testing techniques
  • Configuration review

Exploitation

Actively exploit identified vulnerabilities to demonstrate impact, attack paths, and business risk.

  • Controlled exploitation
  • Privilege escalation
  • Lateral movement simulation

Post-Exploitation & Impact Assessment

Determine the extent of compromise and business impact of successful attacks.

  • Data access & exfiltration simulation
  • Business impact analysis
  • Attack path documentation

Reporting & Remediation Guidance

Deliver comprehensive reports with prioritized findings and actionable remediation steps.

  • Executive summary & risk metrics
  • Technical findings with proof-of-concept
  • Remediation guidance & retesting

Remediation Validation

Re-test after fixes to confirm vulnerabilities are properly addressed and no new issues introduced.

  • Patch verification
  • Configuration validation
  • Final attestation report
Testing Approaches

Common Questions

Penetration Testing FAQs

Essential answers about ethical hacking and adversarial simulation.

Vulnerability Assessment (VA) identifies and prioritizes security weaknesses using automated scanning. Penetration Testing (PT) goes further—actively exploiting vulnerabilities to validate exploitability, demonstrate business impact, and map attack paths. VA answers "what vulnerabilities exist?" PT answers "what can an attacker actually do with them?" Both are complementary; VA provides continuous visibility, while PT validates security controls and provides evidence for remediation prioritization.

Best practice recommends: (1) Annually for compliance requirements (ISO 27001, PCI DSS, RBI, SEBI), (2) Bi-annually for high-risk applications or critical infrastructure, (3) After significant changes (new applications, infrastructure updates, cloud migrations), and (4) Following security incidents. Organizations with mature security programs often combine annual full-scope tests with targeted tests for new features or critical assets.

Our comprehensive report includes: (1) Executive Summary with risk ratings, attack path visualizations, and business impact assessment, (2) Methodology & Scope, (3) Detailed Findings with proof-of-concept, CVSS scores, exploit screenshots, and step-by-step reproduction, (4) Remediation Guidance with specific technical fixes, (5) Attack Narrative showing how vulnerabilities could be chained, and (6) Remediation Validation after fixes are applied. All findings are prioritized by business impact, not just technical severity.

Yes—we provide detailed remediation guidance with every finding, including specific code snippets, configuration changes, and patch recommendations. We also offer (1) Remediation validation retesting after fixes, (2) Advisory calls to walk through complex fixes, (3) Developer training on secure coding practices, and (4) Technical workshops to address root causes. Our goal is to not just identify issues but help you fix them effectively.

We prioritize safety and stability. Our methodology includes: (1) Detailed scoping to define acceptable testing windows, (2) Throttled exploitation to minimize resource impact, (3) Out-of-hours testing for critical production systems, (4) Safe exploitation techniques that avoid service disruption, (5) Immediate rollback if any unexpected impact occurs, and (6) Coordination with your IT and operations teams. For sensitive environments, we recommend staging or non-production testing where feasible.
