Real attackers don't wait for your next audit. Paragon's certified ethical hackers find your vulnerabilities before the criminals do — delivering actionable results, not just a PDF.
From a single web application to a full enterprise red team — we test how you'd actually be attacked, not just how a checklist says to test.
Manual and automated testing of your web applications against OWASP Top 10 and beyond — including business logic flaws that scanners miss.
Simulates a real-world attacker targeting your internet-facing assets — servers, firewalls, VPNs, exposed services, and misconfigured cloud assets.
Assumes an attacker is already inside your network — testing lateral movement, privilege escalation, Active Directory attacks, and internal segmentation.
Security assessment of iOS and Android applications — covering static analysis, dynamic testing, API security, and data storage weaknesses.
Tests your people and processes — phishing simulations, vishing (voice), physical access attempts, and pretexting scenarios tailored to your organisation.
A full adversarial simulation with defined objectives — testing your people, processes, and technology simultaneously under realistic, covert attack conditions.
Every engagement follows a rigorous, intelligence-led methodology aligned to CHECK, CREST, and PTES standards. We don't run automated scans and call it a pentest.
OSINT, passive footprinting, and active enumeration of the target environment to build a comprehensive attack surface map before touching any system.
Passive & ActiveAttempted exploitation of identified vulnerabilities using real attacker tools and techniques — not just theoretical flagging of CVEs that can't actually be exploited in your environment.
Manual & Tool-AssistedWhere access is gained, we assess impact — what data can be reached, what systems can be pivoted to, what damage a real attacker could cause.
Impact VerificationClear, business-readable report with risk-rated findings, reproduction steps, evidence screenshots, and prioritised remediation guidance. No filler, no jargon.
Delivered within 5 daysWe support your team through fixes and then retest all findings to verify they've been correctly resolved — included in every engagement at no extra charge.
Retest IncludedOSINT, DNS enumeration, subdomain discovery, exposed credentials
Crafting payloads, exploit customisation, phishing lures
Phishing, exploitation of public-facing apps, valid credentials
Local exploits, misconfiguration abuse, credential harvesting
Pass-the-hash, Kerberoasting, pivoting through network segments
Data exfiltration, domain compromise, impact demonstration
Our reports are written for two audiences: your technical team who need exact reproduction steps, and your leadership team who need to understand business risk and prioritise budget.
Web Application Assessment — v1.2 FINAL
Unauthenticated attacker can dump entire user database via blind SQLi in the username parameter.
Sequential user IDs allow any authenticated user to access other users' private data.
Malicious script injected via bio field executes in all admin sessions viewing user profiles.
CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options absent — increases risk of clickjacking and content injection.
Our reports are accepted by regulators, certification bodies, and enterprise procurement teams across all major frameworks.
Requirement 11.3 mandates annual penetration testing for card data environments
Annex A.12.6 & A.14.2 — vulnerability management and security testing controls
TLPT (Threat-Led Penetration Testing) requirements for financial entities under DORA
CE+ requires verified technical testing — our reports satisfy the IASME assessment criteria
Article 32 security obligations — demonstrating appropriate technical measures
CC7.1 — system monitoring and vulnerability scanning requirements for SOC 2 Type II
No day-rate surprises. Scope is agreed upfront and the price is fixed. All tiers include retest and final report.
Single application, external perimeter, or defined scope
Multi-target or combined internal/external engagement
Full adversarial simulation with defined objectives & covert ops
Rarely, and never without your knowledge. We agree Rules of Engagement before any testing begins — including out-of-hours windows for more disruptive tests, and explicit approval before any actions that carry even low risk of service impact. In over 500 engagements, we have never caused an unplanned outage.
A vulnerability scan is automated — it identifies known vulnerabilities but can't exploit them, chain them together, or identify business logic flaws. Penetration testing is performed by human experts who actively attempt to exploit vulnerabilities, pivot through the environment, and demonstrate real-world impact. Most compliance frameworks specifically require penetration testing, not just scanning.
Timescales depend on scope — a focused web application test typically takes 3–5 days of testing plus 2 days for reporting. A full internal/external infrastructure assessment runs 5–10 days. Red team exercises are typically 2–6 weeks. We agree the timeline at scoping stage and stick to it.
Yes. We provide all necessary scoping documentation, Rules of Engagement agreements, and authorisation letters. For AWS, Azure, and GCP environments, we follow each provider's penetration testing policies and can assist you in obtaining any required pre-approval notifications.
At minimum, annually — and after any significant changes to your environment (major releases, infrastructure changes, acquisitions). PCI DSS requires annual testing as a baseline. We recommend quarterly vulnerability assessments between annual penetration tests, and immediate testing after any significant breach or near-miss. Our retainer clients receive discounted rates for regular engagements.
