Penetration Testing Services

Q: How is a penetration test different from a vulnerability assessment?

A vulnerability assessment identifies weaknesses using scanning tools, while a penetration test actively exploits those weaknesses to demonstrate real-world impact and business risk.

Q: How long does a typical penetration test take?

Project duration depends on scope and complexity. Small web-app tests may take 3–5 days, while larger network or multi-asset engagements can take 2–4 weeks including verification and reporting.

Q: What deliverables will I receive after the test?

You will receive a detailed technical report with reproducible exploit steps, a risk-ranked findings list, executive summary, remediation roadmap, and an optional validation report post-fix.

Q: How much does a penetration test cost?

Pricing depends on the size, scope, and complexity of testing. For a customized quote, please complete the 'Enquire Now' form and our team will get in touch with a proposal suited to your organization.

Security Testing that checks for Exploitable Systems & Applications

CREST Approved Penetration Testing Services

Penetration Test is a security testing method that involves performing a planned cyber-attack with an ethical hacker on your systems. This would typically mean performing a planned attack under controlled conditions, replicating scenarios of a real attack attempt. The test is performed to identify exploitable vulnerabilities and evaluate the effectiveness of your organization’s security posture.

As a CREST Approved organization, VISTA InfoSec ensures that our Penetration Testing services meet the highest industry standards, providing reliable insights to help secure your IT environment.

The Penetration test involves identifying vulnerabilities, determining how an attacker would escalate access to sensitive information, determining potential impacts, and identifying susceptible applications and systems that may expose your business to cyber risks. The information or findings obtained from the test can help fine-tune your system or application security policies and patch detected vulnerabilities.

Our Approach to Penetration Testing

Planning & Defining Objectives

We sit with your team to discuss, analyze, and define the objectives of Penetration Testing.

Reconnaissance

In collaboration with your team, we gather information relevant to assessment goals before planning a staged attack.

Vulnerability Assessment

At this stage, we identify the possible vulnerabilities on the target network.

Penetration Testing

Once the potential vulnerabilities are identified, we run a Pen Test to verify the same through an active intrusion attempt.

Maintain Access

Once we gain access to a system, we inject agents to see if we can successfully maintain access to the system for a long period of time, irrespective of reboots, reset, or modified by the network administrator.

Analysis of findings

We conduct a complete analysis of vulnerabilities that were identified, exploited, and sensitive data that were accessed. We further analyze the amount of time we maintained access in the system and for the tenure it was undetected.

Reporting

The results of the Penetration Test are compiled into a report detailing a summary of the Penetration Testing, Vulnerabilities, Risks detected, Recommendations for bridging the GAP, and Suggestions for better security.

Re-Testing

Once vulnerabilities are identified and remediated, we run a re-test on the system to ensure that fixes were successfully implemented and determine any new vulnerabilities that could be detected due to remediation.

Frequently Asked Questions on Penetration Testing

What types of penetration testing do you offer?

We offer web application, network, API, mobile, cloud, and internal/external penetration testing. Each engagement is scoped to match your risk profile and compliance requirements.

How is a penetration test different from a vulnerability assessment?

A vulnerability assessment identifies potential weaknesses using scanning and analysis; a penetration test actively exploits vulnerabilities to demonstrate impact. Pen tests prove exploitability and business risk.

How long does a typical penetration test take?

Duration varies by scope. Small web-app tests often take 3–7 days; medium environments commonly take 2–3 weeks including verification and reporting. Enterprise programs are scoped and scheduled with phased windows.

What deliverables will I receive after the test?

Deliverables include a technical findings report with reproducible exploit steps, risk-rated vulnerability list, an executive summary for leadership, prioritized remediation guidance, and an optional retest/validation report.
