Penetration Testing Services

Inservio credentialed experts find real attack paths and package results into audit-ready evidence. We guide remediation, retest fixes, and help you prove trust to buyers and regulators.

Put your security to the test

What you get with Inservio Penetration Testing

Our service includes an initial test, a remediation report, a remediation period,and a secondary test for a clean bill of health.

Web Penetration Testing

Blackbox Penetration Test: This approach simulates a real-world external attack where the tester has no prior knowledge of the internal systems or credentials, mimicking an outsider attempting to breach the system.


Graybox Penetration Test:This approach provides the tester with limited knowledge, such as user credentials or API documentation. This simulates an attack from a semi-trusted user or an insider with some level of access, and can uncover more profound vulnerabilities that an exclusively external test might overlook

Network Penetration Testing

External Network Testing:Simulates attacks from outside your organization, targeting exposed IP ranges and internet-facing assets.


Internal Network Testing: Performed with limited internal access, uncovering lateral movement and privilege escalation risks.

Mobile Penetration Testing

Our team evaluates Android and iOS applications for vulnerabilities using techniques from OWASP’s Top Mobile Risks. Tests cover areas such as insecure data storage on the device, weak or broken authentication and session handling, inadequate transport layer protection, and more.

Your Top Penetration Test Questions, Answered

Penetration testing, also known as pen testing, is a process of evaluating the security of your computer systems, networks, and applications by simulating a real-world attack. It involves identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in your infrastructure to determine how easily an attacker could gain unauthorized access to your systems.

A vulnerability scan is a tool that automatically checks your network, systems, and applications for known vulnerabilities. It helps to identify potential security holes in your infrastructure that could be exploited by attackers. However, it’s important to note that vulnerability scans are not as comprehensive as a full-scale penetration test.

The frequency of penetration testing depends on several factors, such as the size of your organization, the complexity of your infrastructure, and the level of risk that you’re willing to tolerate. In general, security frameworks like PCI DSS recommend performing penetration testing at least once a year.

There are several types of penetration testing that we offer, depending on your organization’s specific needs. These include network penetration testing, web application penetration testing, wireless penetration testing, social engineering penetration testing, and mobile application penetration testing.

While vulnerability scans and penetration tests are both used to evaluate the security of your infrastructure, they are fundamentally different. Vulnerability scans use automated tools to identify known vulnerabilities, while penetration tests are performed by skilled professionals who simulate a real-world attack to find potential vulnerabilities that automated tools may not discover.

The cost of a penetration test depends on several factors, such as the scope of the engagement, the complexity of your infrastructure, and the level of expertise required to perform the test.
