Protect your company & customer data
Are your systems truly secure? Penetration testing gives you the confidence to say yes. By simulating real-world cyberattacks, this service uncovers hidden vulnerabilities before hackers can exploit them, protecting your data, reputation, and bottom line. It’s not just about finding weaknesses; it’s about empowering your business to stay ahead of threats, meet compliance standards, and build trust with customers. With expert insights and actionable recommendations, penetration testing transforms your security posture from reactive to resilient. Where penetration testing shows what an attacker could actually exploit, a security gap assessment measures your controls against industry best practice. Penetration testing is part of our managed security services.
Independent testing to meet your compliance requirements
Cogenesis focuses on three main penetration testing services:
- External Network Penetration Testing: Focuses on the external facing network to determine potential security weaknesses in the network design that may allow any individual to perform unauthorised activities.
- Web Application Vulnerability Testing: A series of tests to attempt to discover vulnerabilities in the website itself that can be exploited to gain unauthorised access to data or perform unauthorised transactions.
- Simulated Email Phishing Test: A targeted range of tests focused on assessing your employee’s susceptibility to email borne security threats and is a useful test to validate the success of internal security awareness training.
“Penetration testing is not optional—it’s essential for understanding how attackers think and where your defences fall short.” — Kevin Mitnick, Cybersecurity Consultant

Penetration testing FAQs
What is penetration testing?
Penetration testing is a simulated, non-disruptive, real-world attack on your IT infrastructure or application that identifies potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by a hacker.
How often should we run a penetration test?
IT governance frameworks suggest performing penetration testing on commissioning of any new part of your IT environment, and at regular intervals throughout the calendar year to validate the security controls and procedures you already have in place.
