Penetration Testing
Find your vulnerabilities before attackers do with a test that goes beyond automated scanning.
​
Automated vulnerability scanners have their place, but they miss what matters most: the vulnerabilities that require human intelligence, creativity, and persistence to find. Real attackers don't run a script and stop, they probe, pivot, and chain together multiple weaknesses to reach your most sensitive systems. Our penetration testing works the same way.
Phoenix Information Security follows the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES); the industry-recognized methodology used by leading security teams worldwide. Every finding is manually verified and exploited where safe to do so, so you know exactly what a real attacker could access, not just a list of theoretical risks.
Types of penetration testing we offer:
-
External penetration test: simulates an attacker targeting your internet-facing systems: websites, email servers, VPNs, cloud services, and any other publicly accessible infrastructure
-
Internal penetration test: simulates an attacker who has already gained access to your internal network, revealing how far they could move laterally and what they could reach
-
Web application penetration test deep-dive testing of your web applications for vulnerabilities including SQL injection, authentication flaws, broken access controls, and business logic issues
​

Why Phoenix InfoSec over the big firms:
Large security firms charge enterprise prices and assign junior consultants to small business engagements. At Phoenix InfoSec, your engagement is handled by a senior consultant with both offensive and defensive experience; someone who understands how attackers think and how defenders should respond. You get better work, faster turnaround, and a report you can actually use.
