Testing Capabilities

What We
Test

🌐

External Network Penetration

Testing of all internet-facing systems, firewalls, VPNs, and exposed services. Confirms what an external attacker can reach and exploit.

🏢

Internal Network Penetration

Simulates an insider threat or compromised endpoint. Tests lateral movement paths, segmentation effectiveness, and privilege escalation opportunities.

🔑

Active Directory Attack Simulation

Kerberoasting, Pass-the-Hash, credential spraying, privilege escalation, and persistence testing against your AD environment.

↔️

Lateral Movement Testing

Tests your network segmentation — critical for OT/IT environments, CJI network isolation, and core banking system separation.

🔐

Credential Attack Testing

Password spraying, hash capture & relay attacks, MITM testing. Confirms your identity controls hold under real attack conditions.

📄

Compliance-Mapped Reporting

Findings mapped to NIST, CJIS, HIPAA, GLBA, CMMC, PCI-DSS. Executive summary ready for board, examiner, or CSA auditor review.

Securafy's penetration testing delivers automated internal and external network pen testing with exploit validation, Active Directory attack simulation — Kerberoasting, Pass-the-Hash, privilege escalation — lateral movement testing, and compliance-mapped reporting for NIST, CIS, PCI, and HIPAA. Included quarterly in Comply-CARE and available as a standalone CyberWatch engagement for organizations nationwide with existing IT providers.

Common Questions

Frequently
Asked

Yes for many frameworks. GLBA Safeguards Rule (§314.4(h)) requires annual penetration testing for financial institutions. CJIS Policy Area 11 recommends pen testing to validate network segmentation. CMMC 2.0 requires testing as part of your security assessment. PCI-DSS mandates annual network penetration testing.
Penetration testing is included in Comply-CARE (custom-priced per user/month). It is available as an add-on to Essential-CARE and Secure-CARE. Contact us for standalone pen testing engagements for Columbus and Cleveland, businesses nationwide.
Our reports include findings rated Critical/High/Medium/Low, step-by-step exploitation evidence, an executive summary in business-risk language, compliance framework mapping, remediation guidance, and a retest capability to validate fixes before your next audit cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How It Works

How a Securafy Penetration Test Engagement Works

From scoping to final report, every engagement follows a structured methodology designed to find real risks, validate your controls, and give you actionable results — not just a list of CVEs.

Step 1 — Scoping

We define the engagement scope: which systems are in-scope (external network, internal network, Active Directory, specific applications), testing windows, rules of engagement, and emergency contacts. For compliance-driven engagements, we map the scope to your framework requirements (GLBA §314.4(h), CJIS, CMMC, PCI-DSS 11.4). You receive a written Statement of Work before any testing begins.

Step 2 — Reconnaissance & Enumeration

Our engineers conduct passive and active reconnaissance on your environment — identifying exposed services, open ports, SSL/TLS configuration, software versions, and publicly available information that an attacker could leverage. For internal engagements, we enumerate your network, Active Directory structure, and endpoint configurations.

Step 3 — Exploitation & Validation

We attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities to determine actual exploitability — not just theoretical risk. This includes attempted privilege escalation, lateral movement, credential attacks (Kerberoasting, Pass-the-Hash), Active Directory attacks, and for external engagements, attempts to breach the perimeter. Every finding is exploitation-verified before it appears in the report.

Step 4 — Post-Exploitation & Impact Assessment

For validated vulnerabilities, we assess the realistic impact — what data or systems an attacker would reach, how far they could move laterally, and what the business consequences would be. This context is what transforms a technical vulnerability list into an executive-actionable risk assessment.

Step 5 — Reporting

You receive an executive summary for leadership (business risk in plain language), a technical findings report (every vulnerability with severity, exploitation evidence, and remediation steps), compliance mapping, and a prioritized remediation roadmap. For Comply Care clients, quarterly pen test results are included in your compliance posture reporting.

Step 6 — Remediation Verification

For critical and high findings, Securafy offers a retest — we verify that your team has successfully closed the vulnerability before you mark it remediated. This closes the loop that most pen testing engagements leave open, and provides documented evidence of remediation for auditors and insurers.
