Do you know how well your organisation is secured? You don’t want to find out only after a cyberattack has taken place. A penetration test helps you identify vulnerabilities in your applications, infrastructure or cloud environment before malicious actors can exploit them.
A pentest (penetration test) is a simulation of a cyber attack on your systems, with the aim of identifying vulnerabilities. This allows us to assess how easy it would be for a real attacker to gain access to your system and what actions are required. By carrying out a pen test, you reduce the risk of a data breach or cyber attack.
PuraSec holds the CCV Pentesting Quality Mark. This means our penetration tests meet the highest quality standards. Our certified penetration testers use the latest techniques and adhere to industry standards. With their in-depth knowledge, they identify vulnerabilities that automated scanners would overlook. Our ISO27001 certification gives you the assurance that we manage confidential data securely in accordance with international standards.
We make complex vulnerabilities easy to understand. Following the penetration test, you’ll receive a clear report with specific areas for improvement that you can act on immediately. No unreadable technical reports.



We’d be happy to help you choose the penetration test that best suits your organisation.
We define
the scope
Together, we determine which systems, applications or components we will test.
We carry out the penetration test
Our ethical hackers manually search for vulnerabilities and test whether they can be exploited.
You’ll receive a clear report
We explain the risks we’ve identified and provide practical advice on how to resolve them.
We verify the improvements
Have the vulnerabilities been resolved? If so, we carry out a retest to check that everything is properly secured.

An attacker must first gain entry. We call this Initial Access. This can be achieved, for example, through phishing, social engineering, stolen login credentials or a vulnerability in a system.
We can test how easily an attacker can gain access to your organisation. But we look beyond just the front door. Even if the initial point of entry is well secured, an attacker might still beable to gain access via another route. That is why, based on a threat and risk analysis, we investigate which scenarios are most relevant to your organisation.
In this way, we tailor the penetration test to the risks that really matter to your organisation. Sometimes this means we carry out Initial Access Testing. In other cases, testing other areas delivers greater value. This ensures you receive a penetration test that is tailored to your organisation and the risks you actually face
A penetration test reveals which vulnerabilities an attacker could exploit. A Cloud Configuration Review checks whether your cloud environment is securely configured. By combining both, you gain a comprehensive picture of your cloud environment's security.

By combining both, you gain a comprehensive picture of your cloud environment's security. We check the key settings, clearly explain the risks and provide practical recommendations for improvement.


No matter how well your security is organised, people are often the easiest point of entry for attackers. Social engineering tests help you understand how prepared your team is for real-world attacks.
We demonstrate how well your team is prepared for phishing, manipulation and other attacks.
We identify the weak spots and help your team become stronger before attackers can exploit them.
The cost of a penetration test depends on the scope and complexity of the test. We consider, amongst other things, the number of systems, applications or IP addresses to be tested, as well as the depth of the test. Following an initial consultation, we can provide an appropriate cost estimate.
The duration of a penetration test varies depending on the assignment. A simple penetration test may take a few days, whilst a comprehensive penetration test of a large infrastructure or application may take longer. We discuss the scope and schedule in advance, so you know what to expect.
A penetration test is not a legal requirement for every organisation. However, legislation, regulations, certifications or contractual agreements may impose requirements regarding the testing of your security. For organisations falling under the Cyber Security Act (Cbw), testing security measures may form part of their obligations. We’d be happy to help you determine what is required in your specific situation.
A penetration test is particularly valuable when you are implementing a new system, a new application or a new infrastructure. It may also be advisable following major changes or updates. Furthermore, a penetration test can help to periodically verify whether previously identified vulnerabilities have actually been resolved.
There is no fixed frequency that applies to every organisation. As a guideline, you should carry out a penetration test at least once a year, as well as following significant changes, such as a major application update, a new cloud environment or a significant change to your infrastructure. For critical systems or rapidly changing environments, more frequent testing may be advisable. We’ll help you determine the frequency that suits your organisation and its risks.
A vulnerability scan automatically searches for known vulnerabilities. In a penetration test, our ethical hackers go one step further. They manually investigate whether vulnerabilities can actually be exploited and what impactthis might have. A penetration test therefore provides a more comprehensive picture of the security of your systems.
The main difference lies in the information our penetration testers receive beforehand.In a black box penetration test they have little to no prior information about the system. This simulates an attack by an external attacker.In a grey box penetration test,our penetration testers are given limited information or access rights. In a white-box penetration test, they are provided with comprehensive information about the system, such as source code,architecture or technical documentation. Which approach is most suitabledepends on your objective and the situation. We’d be happy to advise you on theright approach.
Yes. Not every organisation faces the same security risks, which is why not every penetration test is the same. We assess your systems, environment and specific risks, and advise you on which test is best suited to your organisation.
Yes. For example, a penetration test can be combined with a Cloud Configuration Review or a Social Engineering test. This allows you not only to investigate technical vulnerabilities but also to gain a broader picture of your organisation’s security.
Yes, but we’ll guide you through this. Before hand, we’ll work with you to define the scope and gather the information needed to carry out the test properly. We’ll also discuss any practical considerations to ensure the penetration test runs as smoothly as possible.
A penetration test is carried out by our experienced and certified ethical hackers. They use techniques similar to those of real attackers, but operate within pre-agreed boundaries. This gives you insight into the security of your systems without exposing your organisation to unnecessary risks.
A penetration test is always carefully coordinated in advance. We agree on what we will test, when we will test it and what limits apply. This way, we minimise the risks to your organisation. Our penetration testers carry out the test in a controlled manner and take the continuity of your systems into account.
We investigate the vulnerability and assess how serious the risk is and what an attacker could do with it. You’ll receive a clear report on this, including a priority rating and practical advice on how to resolve the issue. This way, you’ll not only know what’s wrong, but also what you can do about it.
Yes. Once the test is complete, you’ll receive a clear report detailing the vulnerabilities found, the associated risks and practical recommendations. We explain technical findings in an accessible way, so that both technical staff and management can understand the results and take action.
After a penetration test, you naturally want to know whether the vulnerabilities found have been properly resolved. During a retest, we check whether the measures are effective and whether the vulnerability can no longer be exploited. This gives you certainty that the improvements are actually working.
