Real attackers don’t announce themselves. We do.
They don’t observe business hours and don’t deliver an action plan. In an actual incident, you face operational downtime, high recovery costs, and regulatory time pressure. In the case of notifiable data breaches, a 72-hour deadline is running.
To ensure that vulnerabilities aren’t only discovered during a real incident, our penetration testers attack your applications and systems in a controlled manner. Afterward, you know where an intrusion would be possible, how far an attacker could get, and which gaps need to be closed first.
A well-founded pentest often costs significantly less at our company than businesses expect
The reason lies in our testing methodology. AI-supported analyses and automated workflows take over time-consuming routine work. Our experienced pentesters focus on the areas where experience is decisive: exploitability, attack chains, and the potential consequences for your business.
Our dual approach combines technological efficiency with human expertise. As a result, we achieve broader and more reproducible coverage than with a purely manual test and a significantly deeper assessment than with an automated scan alone.
With many years of expertise among other areas in the healthcare sector, the financial sector, and operational cyber defense you receive a pentest partner who understands regulated industries and their specific requirements.
One vulnerability is enough
An outdated service, a misconfigured interface, or an overly broad access right can open a path to customer data and business-critical systems.
In a representative Bitkom survey of 1,002 German companies, 73 percent registered an increase in cyberattacks. 59 percent even see these as a threat to their business existence.
Automated attacks don’t distinguish between large corporations and SMEs. Many hackers start with the systematic search for publicly reachable services, known vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations.
Anyone who operates a newsletter, a website, a customer portal, an API, or cloud services is part of this publicly visible attack surface. The attacker doesn’t need to know your company beforehand. It’s enough for their infrastructure to find your system.
What we actually test
Together with you, we define which applications, interfaces, and infrastructures will be tested and what test depth makes sense. Depending on the target, we test without, with limited, or with comprehensive system knowledge as a black-, grey-, or white-box test.
Our security experts examine, among other things:
- Web applications, mobile applications, and APIs
- Reachable services, software versions, and patch levels
- Authentication methods and access controls
- Network, cloud, and firewall configurations
- Possible attack chains across multiple vulnerabilities
From findings to certification
Upon completion, you receive a prioritized report with comprehensible attack paths and concrete recommendations for action. Your responsible parties know which vulnerabilities must be remediated immediately, which measures can be planned, and where residual risk remains.
On request, we accompany the remediation and verify the implementation in a follow-up test.
If the tested application or infrastructure meets the requirements of our published criteria catalog, the ePrivacyseal GmbH can award the ePrivacy Pentest Certificate for the tested scope. Information about the certificate
If you require the test to be conducted by a BSI-certified provider, we can, upon request, engage a BSI-certified IT security service provider within the scope of IS penetration tests from our network.
The report helps your IT. The certificate helps your sales.
Don’t let the attacker conduct your first pentest.
