Penetration Testing Services

Identify Vulnerabilities Before Hackers Do

In today’s interconnected world, protecting your business from cyber threats is no longer optional—it’s essential. At P1 Technology, we offer comprehensive penetration testing services that simulate real-world cyber-attacks to identify vulnerabilities before malicious actors exploit them. 

 

What is Penetration Testing? 

Penetration testing, or “pen testing,” is a simulated cyber-attack designed to evaluate the security of your organization’s network, systems, and applications. Think of it as a mock hack—we simulate an attack to identify weaknesses in your systems, then provide a detailed plan to block those vulnerabilities before real attackers can exploit them. 

 

Why Penetration Testing is Essential 

Modern cyber-attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and a single breach can result in devastating consequences for your business. Regular penetration testing helps protect your assets, sensitive data, and reputation by: 

Simulating Real-World Risks 

Understand how attackers could exploit your network. 

 

Safeguarding Confidential Data 

Protect sensitive information from theft or misuse. 

 

Evaluating Security Controls 

Assess the effectiveness of current detection and monitoring systems. 

 

Ensuring Compliance 

Meet industry standards (Essential8, ISO, NIST, CIS) and satisfy cybersecurity insurance requirements. 

 

How Do Data Breaches Occur? 

A data breach happens when cybercriminals infiltrate a data source and extract confidential information. This can involve accessing a network to steal local files or bypassing security remotely. 

 

“80% of organizations have attack paths that expose critical assets.” 

– Microsoft Defence Report 2024 

 

Worried about a potential data breach? 

 

Our Penetration Testing Services 

At P1 Technology, we offer three types of penetration testing to ensure every layer of your network is secure. 

 

Internal Network Penetration Testing 

We simulate an attack within your internal network environment to uncover vulnerabilities such as: 

• Poor configurations. 
• Unpatched systems. 
• Weak internal access controls. 

 

External Network Penetration Testing 

This service simulates the role of a cyber-attacker operating outside your organization. We identify security flaws in public-facing assets such as: 

• Improper authentication. 
• Missing security patches. 
• Misconfigured systems. 

 

Microsoft 365 Security Audit 

We evaluate your Microsoft 365 configurations and policies against the CIS Microsoft 365 Foundations Benchmark—the industry standard for securing Microsoft 365 environments. Each configuration is meticulously reviewed and manually validated by our experienced auditors. 

Our detailed report highlights the results of this audit, pinpointing any areas where your Microsoft 365 setup lacks recommended security controls. Leveraging the CIS framework, we also outline clear, actionable steps to enhance your security posture.

Frequently Asked Questions 

How Often Should Penetration Testing Be Performed? 

We recommend annual penetration testing or after significant system changes. Even the best-managed IT systems have small gaps, and testing ensures you stay ahead of cyber threats. 

 

What’s the Difference Between Internal and External Penetration Testing? 

• Internal Testing: Simulates an attacker inside your network to identify internal weaknesses. 
• External Testing: Simulates an attacker outside your network, testing public-facing assets. 
• Microsoft 365 Security Audit: Manual checks against the CIS Microsoft 365 Foundations Benchmark. 

 

Does Penetration Testing Impact Daily Operations? 

No. Testing is designed to run in the background without disrupting your day-to-day operations.
