Offensive Security (Pentests)

How resilient is your IT against real cyberattacks? With penetration tests, vulnerability analyses and security assessments, we uncover security gaps, assess real attack risks and create the foundation for targeted protective measures.

Putting security measures regularly to the test

Cyberattacks are constantly evolving – and so are IT landscapes. New cloud services, hybrid work models and connected systems continuously create new potential points of attack. At the same time, existing security measures only provide effective protection if their effectiveness is regularly reviewed.
Offensive security assesses the actual resilience of your IT under realistic conditions. Through security assessments, vulnerability analyses and penetration testing, we identify security gaps, validate existing protective measures and create a solid foundation for the targeted development of your IT security.

Challenges faced by our clients

Unknown
security gaps

Cloud environments, remote access and new applications continuously create new points of attack.

Critical
vulnerabilities

Misconfigurations and security gaps often remain undetected and increase the risk of successful attacks.

Missing
prioritisation

Identified vulnerabilities are not assessed based on risk and business impact.

Missing security validation

The effectiveness of existing security measures is not regularly reviewed.

Our approach

We assess your IT in a structured, practice-oriented way – from defining the assessment scope through attack surface analysis to targeted security testing. Identified vulnerabilities are evaluated according to criticality, exploitability and business impact. The result is clear priorities and concrete measures for the sustainable improvement of your security posture.

Our process

Assessment

Together, we define the scope of the security assessment, identify business-critical systems and set goals and testing methods for the security assessment.

Attack surface analysis

We analyse external and internal attack surfaces, identify publicly accessible systems, cloud environments, identities and potential attack paths to make security risks visible at an early stage.

Security Validation

Through vulnerability analyses, penetration testing and configuration reviews, we validate the effectiveness of your existing security measures and identify exploitable vulnerabilities.

Risk assessment

All findings are evaluated in terms of exploitability, likelihood of occurrence and business impact. This results in clear priorities for remediating identified risks.

Optimisation

You receive prioritised recommendations and a structured remediation roadmap for the targeted reduction of your attack surface and improvement of your security architecture.

Operations

Through regular retesting, security assessments and the continuous review of new attack surfaces, we support the sustainable development of your IT security.

Attack paths instead of individual vulnerabilities

Many security gaps are uncritical on their own. It is only the combination of several vulnerabilities that enables successful cyberattacks. That's why we don't just look at individual findings, but analyse possible attack paths across identities, devices, networks and cloud environments. This allows us to prioritise measures according to the actual risk to your organisation.

Typical protection areas

Network & infrastructure

Review of networks, servers, firewalls and remote access for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and potential attack paths.

Cloud environment

Analysis of Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID as well as role and permission concepts to identify security risks.

Identities & permissions

Assessment of Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365 and hybrid cloud environments in terms of configuration, identities and access rights.

Devices

Security testing of business-critical web applications and corporate portals for known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.

Security configurations

Review of clients and servers for security gaps, insecure configurations and missing protective measures.

Applications

Analysis of hardening, patch status, security policies and system configurations to reduce technical risks.

Our contribution to your success

We assess the actual vulnerability of your IT and identify weaknesses before they can be exploited. By prioritising according to risk and business impact, we create a solid basis for decision-making for targeted security measures. This way, you sustainably reduce your attack surface and increase the resilience of your IT against real cyberattacks.
