Our UK-based ethical hackers specialise in application, infrastructure, and social engineering tests to identify vulnerabilities and provide actionable recommendations.
Strengthen your security posture with our cyber security testing services.
Our ethical hacking pentesting services can help you to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities in your applications, infrastructure, and networks. Our UK-wide pentest coverage ensures your business stays secure, compliant, and resilient against evolving threats.
Our penetration testing process is designed to be thorough, efficient, and contextualised to your specific requirements. We follow a structured approach from the initial scoping process to the final reporting, ensuring that we deliver actionable insights to enhance your security posture.
We collaborate with you to define and understand your specific security needs and objectives for testing, ensuring a targeted and effective approach to the engagement.
Our team conducts a thorough assessment of the target environment, enumerating assets and identifying potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers.
As ethical hackers, we safely simulate real-world cyber attacks through exploitation to test your defences, gaining insights into any vulnerabilities and the effectiveness of your security measures.
We provide a detailed report of our findings and conduct a debriefing session to discuss the vulnerabilities, their impact, and then recommended remediation strategies.

With our expert team of ethical hackers, we provide thorough assessments tailored to your business needs.
The Attack Surface Center is a powerful Attack Surface Management (ASM) platform that helps you discover, manage, and secure your attack surface.
With features like asset discovery, risk management, and vulnerability scanning, the Attack Surface Center provides you with the tools you need to protect your organisation from cyber threats.
Penetration testing, or pentesting, is type of security assessment where cybersecurity professionals will attempt to discover and exploit vulnerabilities within a network, application, or computer systems. The purpose is to simulate real-world attacks to identify any potential security weaknesses within a set of target systems before they can be exploited by malicious actors.
You can read more about penetration testing on our FAQ page on What is Penetration Testing? .
We would recommend conducting a penetration test at least annually, or whenever there are any significant changes to your systems, applications, or infrastructure (for example, a new feature implementation in a web application).
Regular pentesting, above an annual basis, can help you identify and mitigate potential risks long before there is a real threat.
We offer a range of penetration testing services, including infrastructure testing, application testing (web, mobile, desktop), social engineering engagements, and vulnerability assessments.
Our services are delivered remotely to ensure that we provide you with the maximum amount of time on an engagement, but also to reduce costs such as travel expenses. Depending upon the type of testing or any specific requirements, we can also conduct onsite testing.
The cost of penetration testing can vary depending on the scope, complexity, and type of test required.
Our prices start from £800 per day of testing (excluding tax) for basic assessments, but we can provide a tailored quote based on your specific needs and requirements.
We also offer discounts for multiple engagements or long-term contracts.
We follow industry standards, guidance, and best practices such as the information offered by OWASP, NIST, and CREST, to ensure the quality of our penetration tests. Our team consists of experienced and certified ethical hackers who use a combination of automated tools and manual techniques to identify vulnerabilities. We also conduct thorough peer reviews of all reports to ensure accuracy and clarity.
If there are any concerns during or after the engagement then we will work with you to address them, and if necessary, we can provide retesting to ensure that any identified vulnerabilities have been remediated.
A penetration test is a simulated attack on your systems to identify and exploit vulnerabilities, which can be as broad or as deep as needed. Whereas a vulnerability assessment is a more high-level activity that identifies potential weaknesses without attempting to exploit them, such as through a vulnerability scan or configuration review.
Generally, penetration tests are more in-depth and focused on specific targets, whilst vulnerability assessments provide more of an overview of your security posture.
The type of penetration testing we recommend depends on your specific business needs, industry, and regulatory requirements. For example, if you have web applications as the core of your business, we would initially recommend starting with a web application pentest.
We can work with you to assess your risk concerns and discuss the most appropriate type of testing for your organisation.
No, penetration testing is not illegal when it is performed with prior authorisation and within the agreed scope. It is a legitimate and essential practice for organisations to identify security vulnerabilities, and forms part of many compliance regulations.
However, conducting penetration testing without proper authorisation can be illegal and may result in legal consequences. At Exploitr we always ensure that we have written permission and a clear scope of work before commencing any testing activities.
