Whether you're securing the trust of your clients, meeting compliance obligations, or wanting genuine peace of mind, your test is shaped by the business outcome you're working toward. Findings are prioritised by exploitability and impact, and your team gets the support to address them quickly and effectively.
Penetration Testing
CREST-accredited, senior-led penetration testing, with findings you can act on.

how it works
How Penetration Testing Works
Acumenis' penetration testing methodology is CREST accredited, and built upon frameworks including OWASP Top 10, PCI DSS testing requirements, MITRE ATT&CK and the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES).
01
Scope
We discuss your specific objectives and requirements, and plan the assessment to address these needs.
02
Plan
We map your attack surface, identify the systems and data most likely to be targeted, and plan the testing approach around what matters most.
03
Test
We attempt exploitation of the discovered vulnerabilities and confirm their potential impacts.
04
Communicate
We prioritise findings and recommendations in a report, and discuss with your team during debriefing.

Popular Penetration Tests
Acumenis perform a variety of penetration tests, with our most popular listed below.
Web
Applications
We identify technical vulnerabilities, business logic flaws, and access control issues in web applications, including multi-tenant SaaS platforms, role-based access controls, and AI-integrated features.
- We combine automated tooling with manual testing to uncover what scanners miss, including the OWASP Top 10.
- Where you ship changes frequently, we structure testing around your release cycle and provide a clear path to retesting.
Networks
We test internal, external, and segmented networks for the vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that could let an attacker reach your systems or data.
- Internal testing simulates what an attacker could do once inside your perimeter, external testing covers what's reachable from the internet, and segmentation testing checks whether your trust zones are holding.
- Findings are mapped to realistic attack paths through your environment, so you see how individual weaknesses could be chained together against you.
Wi-Fi
Networks
We test your Wi-Fi networks for vulnerabilities that could let an attacker onto your internal network or expose information they could use against you.
- Your wireless authentication, segmentation, and configuration are tested for weaknesses that could give an attacker access to your internal systems.
- We also identify sensitive information being broadcast over Wi-Fi, including staff credentials and internal system details an attacker could use to plan a more targeted attack.
Employees
We test how well your people, processes, and tools detect and respond to the social engineering tactics attackers actually use.
- Phishing campaigns reflect the techniques currently being used against organisations like yours, including credential harvesting, payload delivery, and pretext-based requests.
- You'll see click rates, report rates, and detection times, with practical recommendations to strengthen training, process, and technical controls. Testing is run in a way that builds your security culture.
