At Cipher Security, we take an offensive approach to cybersecurity and continuously testing systems from an attacker’s perspective to uncover what others might miss. Our penetration testing engagements provide independent, controlled simulations of real-world cyberattacks across corporate networks, web applications, and critical infrastructure. The objective is to identify genuine weaknesses before they can be exploited, and to help organizations strengthen their defenses through actionable, evidence-based findings.

Overview

Penetration testing validates the resilience of your environment under realistic attack conditions. By applying both manual and automated techniques, we uncover contextual risks and misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities that are not covered by automated tools. These insights help organizations understand how threats could evolve inside their systems and where to apply preventive measures that make a tangible difference.

How We Test

Each assessment is conducted using a structured offensive methodology. Our team performs reconnaissance, exploitation, and privilege escalation steps that mirror the behavior of genuine attackers, under a defined and transparent scope. Tests can be conducted externally to simulate an outsider’s view or internally to represent an attacker who has already gained limited access. All findings are verified and documented clearly to ensure reproducibility and confidence in the results.

What We Cover

Our services include external and internal network penetration testing, infrastructure and Active Directory assessments, web and application-layer testing, and dedicated testing for SCADA and OT environments. In operational contexts, we place particular emphasis on system integrity and continuity, ensuring that assessments remain safe for production systems while still providing realistic results.

Reporting and Outcomes

Each engagement concludes with a detailed report that outlines identified vulnerabilities, their technical context, and their potential impact on business operations. The report includes practical remediation guidance, helping security and engineering teams address the root causes of identified weaknesses. Findings are mapped to recognized frameworks such as OWASP and PTES, providing structure and alignment with industry standards.

Safety and Scope Management

Testing is always conducted under a clearly defined scope, ensuring that no activity disrupts essential business services. Our team coordinates closely with stakeholders before and during testing to maintain transparency, ensure accountability, and support secure validation processes from start to finish.

What Makes Us Different

Unlike many general cybersecurity providers that offer “everything cyber,” Cipher Security focuses exclusively on Offensive Security. This specialization means our perspective, tools, and methodologies are refined specifically for uncovering vulnerabilities and evaluating real-world attack paths. Offensive testing isn’t a side service for us — it’s our core discipline and the foundation of every engagement we deliver.

Engagement Fit

Penetration testing is a critical element of an organization’s security assurance program. Whether performed ahead of a major deployment, after significant infrastructure changes, or as part of regular validation cycles, our offensive security approach provides depth, precision, and clarity. The result is a realistic picture of your security posture — and a practical roadmap for improvement.
