TozettaEthical hacking

A penetration test, or pentest for short, is a controlled security test that assesses your organization's digital safety. The main goal of a pentest is to uncover vulnerabilities, security gaps and misconfigurations in systems, applications and networks before cybercriminals can exploit them.

During a pentest, an ethical hacker manually searches for weak spots. The specialist works the same way a malicious hacker would, but strictly with permission and with the goal of improving security. Afterwards you receive an extensive report with the vulnerabilities found, the possible risks and concrete recommendations to structurally strengthen your security.

After the pentest you receive an extensive report in Tozetta Reports, an interactive portal where you can export tailored or complete reports yourself. We also plan a personal debrief of about an hour with the ethical hacker.

After a successful first engagement we often build further with solutions such as Continuous Vulnerability Scanning or AI-scanning, so new vulnerabilities are caught in time.

A penetration test starts by defining the scope and objectives. Together we determine which parts of your IT environment will be examined, internal and external networks, web applications, mobile applications, cloud environments or OT systems, hardware, or a combination of environments.

Next, an ethical hacker runs advanced vulnerability scans to map known vulnerabilities and security risks. The real value of a pentest, however, lies not in the scan itself but in the manual analysis that follows, uncovering complex security issues that automated scanners often miss.

During execution we keep communication short and transparent. Findings can be shared directly via Tozetta Reports, so you have real-time insight into progress and any critical vulnerabilities.

The cost of a pentest depends on the size, complexity and type of environment being tested. That's why we always start with a no-obligation introduction or a QuickScan. Based on that information we get a clear picture of the systems, applications or infrastructure that need to be examined, and can put together a fitting proposal.

This means you never pay for more testing hours than needed, and our ethical hackers have enough time to carry out the pentest thoroughly. Within 1 to 2 working days you'll receive a transparent, tailored quote including a clear scope and price, so you know exactly where you stand, with no surprises afterwards.
