Our approach to penetration testing
Act early to protect your business from cyber threats by scheduling a comprehensive penetration test today.
Secure your business with advanced penetration testing
Reversec’s offensive security-driven consultants specialize in identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities across your applications, networks, cloud infrastructure, and mobile platforms. Our testing also covers specialist technologies like generative AI, mainframes, Kubernetes, and hardware.
We apply a deep-reaching and attacker-minded approach to testing at every scale, including large pentesting programs for some of the world’s biggest organizations. Our penetration testers are dedicated professionals who understand your business context and use automation selectively. This ensures a human-led, personalized, and effective evaluation for programs of any size.
Penetration tests and security assessments are performed in a risk-driven, context-aware manner. Where relevant, we align our tests with globally recognized security frameworks, including:
- OSSTMM (Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual)
- NIST Guidelines on Security Testing (e.g., NIST-SP800-42 and NIST-SP800-115)
- CREST and CHECK frameworks for penetration testing
- CIS Benchmarks for cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- OWASP Top 10 for web application security and LLM applications
- OWASP ASVS (Application Security Verification Standard)
The engagements can be adjusted to fit your methods, reporting formats and tools.
How we test your systems
Our approach is designed for practical security assurance. During the engagement, our consultants act like real attackers, using penetration testing tools and methods to find weaknesses and gain access to your computer systems.
We tailor every assessment to your business context, compliance requirements, and threat environment. For example, we assess how a target system integrates with your networks, potentially expanding the attack surface.
Our pentesting engagements follow a clear and structured penetration testing method that ensures a thorough examination of the target’s security and confirms your security controls.

Q&A: Penetration testing
What types of environments does Reversec test?
We assess networks, web applications, cloud platforms, mobile platforms and other specialist technologies.
What accreditations do you hold?
We hold accreditation under CREST, CHECK, CBEST, and TIBER. Our consultants hold certifications such as CREST Registered Penetration Tester and CHECK Team Leader.
What do we need to do before a test begins?
We’ll work with you to define the scope, confirm access requirements, and review documentation.
Will penetration testing disrupt our operations?
We coordinate carefully with your team to minimize disruption. We plan our exploitation and post-exploitation activities to avoid affecting production systems and are used to testing in a wide range of environments, according to a client’s own preferences and needs.
How do you handle credentials during testing?
We use a mix of unauthenticated and authenticated testing, depending on the engagement. We will always transfer credentials via secure methods, and do not retain the credentials after the engagement.
What happens after the test is complete?
We deliver a detailed report with contextualized findings, risk ratings, and remediation guidance. We can also support remediation planning and retesting. Our ideal goal is to be a security partner who helps you address future challenges instead of just testing and walking away.
Do you offer retesting after remediation?
We can retest to validate fixes and confirm that we have resolved vulnerabilities.
How do you test LLM-powered applications?
We assess risks like prompt injection, insecure output handling, and LLM agency. We have extended our traditional app testing to cover LLM-specific threats.
