Penetration Testing Services UK

[ in plain english ]

A penetration test is a controlled, ethical hack of your systems. We find the weaknesses a real attacker would use, prove the impact safely, and give your team a clear fix list.

[ what.is ]

Penetration testing is a time-boxed security assessment where qualified testers manually probe your web applications, APIs, external and internal networks, cloud configuration or mobile apps for exploitable weaknesses.

[ what.it.does ]

GoaTech combines automated scanning for coverage with manual testing for depth, following OWASP and CREST-aligned methodology. Every finding is verified by hand to remove false positives, rated by real business risk and paired with practical remediation advice.

[ capabilities ]
  • OWASP Top 10 and OWASP ASVS-aligned web and API testing
  • External and internal network penetration testing
  • Cloud configuration and privilege escalation review
  • Authenticated testing across user roles and business logic
  • Manual verification of every finding to remove false positives
[ ideal.for ]
  • Meeting client, insurer or tender requirements for an annual pen test
  • Testing a new web app, API or platform before it goes live
  • Evidencing technical controls for ISO 27001, SOC 2, Cyber Essentials Plus or PCI DSS
[ how.it.works ]
  1. 01
    Scope the test
    We agree targets, environments, testing windows, credentials and rules of engagement before any activity begins.
  2. 02
    Map the attack surface
    Testers enumerate hosts, endpoints, APIs, authentication flows and technologies in scope.
  3. 03
    Test manually and automatically
    Automated tooling gives breadth while manual testing finds logic flaws, access control gaps and chained issues scanners miss.
  4. 04
    Verify and rate findings
    Each issue is confirmed by hand, evidenced with reproduction steps and scored by exploitability and business impact.
  5. 05
    Report and retest
    You get a technical report plus an executive summary, and a free retest of remediated findings.
[ what.you.get ]
  • Technical report with reproduction steps and evidence
  • Executive summary suitable for boards, clients and insurers
  • Risk-rated, prioritised remediation plan
  • Remediation retest and updated report once fixes are deployed
