Reporting & Remediation

Planning Phase (Before the Test)

  • Define the attack model (internal or external, with specific access levels).
  • Set goals, identify testing targets, and determine source data.
  • Establish the scope of the environment under test.
  • Choose the right testing methods and approach.
  • Plan communication and coordination processes.

Execution Phase (During the Test)

  • Conduct fieldwork and identify services.
  • Build or use custom scanning and attack tools if needed.
  • Find security flaws while filtering out false positives.
  • Attempt to exploit vulnerabilities to gain access.
  • Use compromised systems to mimic real-world attacks.

Reporting & Remediation Phase (After the Test)

  • Analyze all test results and recommend prioritized fixes.
  • Help with remediation such as isolating network issues, fine-tuning configurations, or fixing insecure code.
  • Conduct follow-up testing to ensure all vulnerabilities have been fixed.

Comparing Automated and Manual Penetration Testing: Which Is Right for You?

  • Advantages of Automated Penetration Testing

    • Requires minimal technical expertise to operate tools.
    • Identifies a broad range of well-known security vulnerabilities.
    • Faster execution compared to manual methods.
    • More cost-effective than hiring expert testers.
    • Can be conducted regularly for continuous security monitoring.
  • Advantages of Manual Penetration Testing

    • Simulates real-world attack strategies and hacker behavior.
    • Delivers highly accurate results with no false positives.
    • Customizable to meet specific security objectives and systems.
    • Provides in-depth reports with actionable remediation steps.
  • Disadvantages of Automated Penetration Testing

    • Lacks the depth to uncover complex or logic-based vulnerabilities.
    • May overlook critical business-specific risks.
    • Often falls short of compliance standards (e.g., PCI DSS).
  • Disadvantages of Manual Penetration Testing

    • Requires experienced professionals with deep technical skills.
    • Typically more time-intensive than automated scans.
    • Involves higher upfront investment than tool-based testing.

    FAQs about Penetration Testing Services

    What is penetration testing and why is it important?

    Penetration testing is a simulated cyberattack conducted by ethical hackers to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in your system. It helps uncover security weaknesses before malicious hackers can exploit them, ensuring stronger defense and compliance with security standards.

    Who needs penetration testing services?

    Penetration testing is essential for any organization that handles sensitive data, operates critical infrastructure, or wants to comply with regulatory standards such as HIPAA, CCPA, NAIC Standards, AML Standards, and ISO 27001. It’s especially vital for companies with web applications, remote access solutions, or a growing digital footprint.

    How can we be sure that a pen test won't expose our confidential information?

    We follow strict security protocols validated by ISO 27001 certification and always sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). All testing is conducted in a controlled, ethical, and secure manner to protect your data.

    How long does a penetration test take?

    The duration varies by project scope and complexity. Typically, the testing phase lasts 3–10 days. The full process, from planning to final reporting, usually spans 2–4 weeks.

    Do you help fix the security flaws you discover?

    Yes. Our experienced developers and security engineers can remediate any vulnerabilities identified during testing. We aim to be your one-stop solution for security improvement.

    How do you validate that remediation efforts were successful?

    After a 2-week window for fixes, we conduct a second round of testing to verify that all previously found vulnerabilities have been resolved. If more time is needed for remediation, we accommodate accordingly and retest without compromising your security improvement timeline.

    What kind of cyber threats can penetration testing prevent?

    Penetration testing helps reduce risks from threats such as ransomware, phishing attacks, insider threats, stolen devices, remote work vulnerabilities, and compliance breaches.

    What tools do you use for penetration testing?

    We utilize industry-standard tools such as Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nmap, OWASP ZAP, Nessus, Nikto, and more. These tools help with vulnerability assessment, network analysis, and secure code review.

    Do you offer consulting services in addition to testing?

    Yes. Cloudester provides expert consulting throughout the penetration testing lifecycle from test planning and execution to interpreting results and recommending corrective actions.

    Can penetration testing help with regulatory compliance?

    Absolutely. Penetration testing is critical for meeting compliance standards like PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and HIPAA. We also provide attestation reports that demonstrate your due diligence during audits.

    Do you provide system documentation?

    We provide the SRS documentation to the client. The code will have comments to facilitate easy comprehension. Our documentation is comprehensive and self-explanatory.

    Will You Sign an NDA?

    Yes, Cloudester signs a Non-Disclosure Agreement before any software solution development discussion. Also, an NDA is an integral part of the Master Services Agreements we sign with clients.

    Do you guarantee the security and confidentiality of our intellectual property?

    This clause is covered in the IP contract, and NDA is also signed between us and the customer specifying the same. In addition, we audit our processes and train employees on a regular basis. These efforts ensure that our customers' intellectual property is always secure.
