Penetration Testing
Identify And Remediate Vulnerabilities Before They Impact Your Business. Web Application Hacker’s Methodology, Information Systems Security Assessment Framework.
BrandCrock – Penetration Testing
Penetration testing is a cybersecurity best practice that helps ensure that IT environments are properly secured and vulnerabilities are appropriately patched.
Penetration test seeks to determine whether and how a malicious user can gain unauthorized access to information assets. BrandCrock has performed penetration tests to help organizations uncover hidden security vulnerabilities. Our proven methodology provides actionable steps for ensuing the security of your systems.
This kind of testing comes under ethical hacking and the person performing penetration testing is known as an ethical hacker.
Pen Tests are being performed to find out those issues which are not easy to catch during the manual analysis of the system.
The condition of a system is exploitable when there are multiple users granted with the use of a system with fewer security controls.
Our Process
Our best-practices methodology has been fine-tuned over decades through thousands of hours of experience.

Penetration testing methods we apply
The black box test is a test
We work under realistic conditions with strictly limited knowledge of your network and without information about the security policies, network structure, software and network protection used.
Grey Box Tests
We analyse your system based on some information about your network, such as user login data, architecture diagrams or the network overview.
White Box Tests
We identify potential vulnerabilities by using administrator rights and access to server configuration files, database encryption principles, source code or architecture documentation.
Security Testing Benefits
Complete view of the weak points
We provide detailed information on real security threats, help identify the most critical and less significant vulnerabilities and false positives so that the customer can prioritise remediation, apply necessary security patches and assign security resources.
Compliance with legal regulations (GLBA, HIPPA, PCI, DSS, FISMA/NIST)
The detailed reports produced following penetration testing help to avoid fines for non-compliance and enable auditors to demonstrate due diligence by maintaining the required security controls.
Avoidance of costs for system/network downtimes
The Brandcrock team provides specific guidance and recommendations to avoid financial pitfalls by identifying and addressing risks before attacks or breaches occur.

Reasons to Test
As you conduct regular vulnerability scans, hackers are doing the same thing – scanning your network, trying to find the weak points where they can break in. The difference is, hackers won’t stop when they find a vulnerability; they’ll attack. This is where the penetration testing comes in.
Hackers are constantly exploiting new bugs
Hackers develop new tools and exploits with incredible speed and often often faster than the security teams can keep up.
Penetration tests provide an independent assessment of your security
The results of penetration tests show the effectiveness of your security environment.
A penetration test can find gaps in your security before a hacker does
Identifying vulnerabilities enables the organisation to patch vulnerabilities before a hacker can exploit them. before a hacker can exploit them.
Prioritise your security budget
The results of penetration tests can help improve your security budget and prioritise expenditure.
Prioritise your security budget
A penetration test can serve as a catalyst for the development of an incident response plan in the event of a breach.
Penetration tests can be an official requirement
Periodic penetration testing is an industry best practice and a requirement for PCI DSS and several other industry for PCI DSS and several other industry regulations.
When You Need Penetration Testing
At the very least a penetration test should be performed on an annual basis. In some cases, a quarterly or even monthly penetration test may be the correct need for a company.
A vulnerability assessment allows you to prepare for a penetration test, and a penetration test allows you to prove you’re acting on any vulnerabilities, so it’s critical that a vulnerability assessment is performed (and identified vulnerabilities remediated) before any penetration testing is initiated.
A special case penetration test may be needed as well for the following:
When new network infrastructure or applications are added to your environment
Upgrades or modifications are made to either your infrastructure or applications
Office locations are added or are heavily modified to the company’s organization
Company procedures or policies are revised or established
Regularly scheduled analysis and assessments are required by regulatory mandates.
New network infrastructure or applications were added.
Significant upgrades or modifications to infrastructure or applications were made.
Corporate IT was significantly changed.
Additionally, penetration tests are required by regulations such as GDPR, PCI-DSS. Most penetration testers should be able to review and recommend best practices for a company’s specific needs.
Pricing for Test
We shape the final price based on the number of targets and the required testing methods. We will be pleased to provide an estimate for your project.
Cost also depends on whether you want penetration testing to be a one-time thing, an on-going service, or an engagement that re-tests systems after you make the necessary changes to safeguard your operations and your network.
Complex systems with extensive data will take more time to test. The number of connected devices, access points, physical locations, networks, IP addresses, and various security layers will all play a role in determining a fair price.
The cost of a penetration test is determined by the
Number of IP addresses and URL’s
Size and complexity of the IT infrastructur
Number of physical locations and data centers
Network segmentation
Timing of the service.
