Cybersecurity assessment services

Network penetration testing and vulnerability assessment

Identify and exploit real-world weaknesses across internal and external networks, then prioritise remediation by business impact.

About the service

Service Description

Network penetration testing is a controlled, time-boxed attack simulation against your network perimeter and internal segments. It validates whether an attacker with realistic time, skill, and tooling could reach critical assets, and surfaces the conditions that would let them.

Why this service matters

The business case

Untested networks accumulate unmitigated risk. Regulators and assurance frameworks (NESA, SAMA CSF, ISO/IEC 27001 A.12.6) require periodic testing; without it, you cannot demonstrate that controls work as intended or that a determined adversary would be stopped.

What is delivered

Assessment deliverables

Each assessment produces a working set of artefacts that the customer's engineering, security, and leadership teams can act on. The exact list is calibrated to the scope and framework alignment.

  • Internal and external network penetration testing
  • Authenticated and unauthenticated vulnerability scanning
  • Active Directory, segmentation, and lateral movement testing
  • Executive report with risk-prioritised remediation roadmap

Delivery method

Axpert Service Delivery Model

Four-phase model: scope and rules-of-engagement agreement with the customer's security leadership, manual plus automated exploitation against the agreed perimeter and internal segments, validation of every critical finding with the customer's team, and an executive-ready report with risk-prioritised remediation.
