Penetration Test & Threat-Led Penetration Testing

Penetrationstest and TLPT

We Identify Vulnerabilities Before Others Do.

Cloud environments, web applications, mobile systems – increasing connectivity makes companies more vulnerable. At the same time, cyberattacks are becoming more targeted and professional. A penetration test gives you clear insight into the vulnerabilities of your systems and products – and provides a solid foundation to remediate them before attackers can exploit them.

With over 25 years of experience in IT security and exceptional expertise, we are your trusted partner, actively supporting you in shaping a secure and successful digital future. Whether to secure your infrastructure, meet regulatory requirements, or protect sensitive data – our experts test your systems in a targeted, methodical way, using the latest attack techniques and realistic scenarios.

Classic Penetration Tests (Including AI Models)

Our penetration tests specifically identify vulnerabilities in IT systems, web applications, mobile apps, and cloud environments. We offer free consultation and help you find the right testing strategy.

Product-Focused Penetration Tests

Our product-focused penetration tests (embedded systems) target common vulnerabilities in connected devices. We test, among others, medical devices, automotive components, and OT components.

Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT)

In Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT), we simulate a targeted cyberattack on your organization. The focus is not on identifying a wide range of vulnerabilities, but on assessing your company’s ability to detect and respond to attacks at an early stage. Test your resilience against cyberattacks with us. We’ll determine which tests are right for you in a free consultation.

What is the difference between a pentest and a vulnerability scan?

A vulnerability scan provides automated lists of potential gaps – often with many false positives. A pentest, on the other hand, combines tools and manual analysis, attempts exploits, and delivers reliable security results.

What is tested during a penetration test?

A penetration test can be applied flexibly. The scope of the test may include the entire corporate network (internal and external) or just specific parts, such as your online shop. In addition, (I)IoT devices, embedded systems, and/or automotive control units can also be the focus of a penetration test.

We help you choose the right approach for your specific needs. Contact us for an individual requirements analysis.

Will I receive a test report, and can it be used for compliance purposes?

Yes. You will receive a comprehensive test report including technical details and a management summary – suitable as evidence for customers, partners, and authorities (e.g. ISO 27001, NIS-2).

Why should I have a pentest conducted if I already have my own IT teams?

Our pentesters bring independent expertise, extensive experience with current attack scenarios, and specific testing methods – an external perspective often yields significant insights that internal teams alone may not uncover.
