We execute automated scans, in which identified weaknesses are not actively exploited, unless it is considered safe to do so.

We actively exploit apparent system weaknesses from the perspective of a hacker, to ascertain the degree of security issue they represent.

We run these tests to identify and assess potential threats to software applications, including bespoke or proprietary systems.

We comprehensively assess the security risks associated with your 802.11 wireless networks.

7Safe provides Masters-level training and certification in Penetration Testing. Our certified ethical hacking training programme includes the Certified Security Testing Associate (CSTA) and Certified Security Testing Professional (CSTP) qualifications, along with the university-accredited CSTA⁺ and CSTP⁺ qualifications which form part of the world’s first Postgraduate Certificate in Penetration Testing and Information Security.

In addition to our ethical hacking certifications, we also provide the Hacking Insight for Managers course which gives a management level introduction to the security issues hacking presents.

This aspect of security testing revolves around human interaction and primarily involves tricking your staff into breaking security procedures. Social engineering techniques can be integrated into our security testing method if required.

Our penetration testing team's approach addresses wide-ranging needs for our clients and we offer an in-depth, comprehensive penetration testing service that tests systems from an external or internal perspective.

External testing usually takes place across the Internet to simulate the view of your systems through the eyes of (and in a similar environment to) a potential attacker.

Internal testing involves attending your site and connecting to your internal network on the appropriate network segment thus seeing services and resources from behind the external perimeter perspective to identify other vulnerabilities.

7Safe's testing is designed to ensure that your systems are operating as expected and that there are no hidden or undiscovered security related issues.

The testing process is a detailed, thorough and extensive process involving the following stages:

Independent penetration testing is recommended on a regular basis. However, one-off assessments may be performed.

7Safe also regularly performs application security penetration testing and security code reviews which many clients find an excellent complementary measure.

Our reporting delivers a high-level summary for management purposes together with technical details which are organised according to perceived risk.

Within each section are recommendations for resolving any vulnerabilities found, combined with an overall conclusion which details any additional recommended actions if required.
