A pentest - or penetration test - is a controlled attack on your software, in which our specialists behave like a real hacker. Using both advanced tools and in-depth knowledge of custom software, we try to penetrate your systems. We not only look at the standard errors, but also analyze vulnerabilities that arise from your specific architecture, integrations or development choices.

why is a pentest essential for your software security?
Security is not a checklist that you tick off once. With a pentest you discover the risks that you easily overlook. Think of old login methods, incorrectly configured servers or outdated software that is no longer updated. Key benefits include:
- Addressing security vulnerabilities before they are exploited
- Demonstrably working on compliance (GDPR, ISO 27001, etc.)
- Building trust with customers and stakeholders
- Receiving substantiated and concrete improvement actions

this is how we approach a pentest
Not a standard test, but a tailor-made approach. We tailor our approach to your organization, your application and the purpose of the test. We combine different techniques to get the most realistic picture of your security status.
Our pentest can include:
- Scanning for known vulnerabilities (such as SQL injections, XSS)
- Checking password policies and user authorizations
- Analyzing APIs, endpoints, and server configurations
- Testing access control, encryption, and network segmentation
Afterwards, you will receive a comprehensive report, including risk assessment and concrete recommendations. We will discuss everything together, so that you know where you stand - and what you can do.

the benefits of a pentest on your organization
A pentest brings peace, clarity and direction. You know exactly where the vulnerabilities are, how serious they are and what you can do about them.
In summary:
- Full control over your risks
- Substantiation for GDPR, ISO or industry requirements
- Increased customer confidence
- Practical, actionable improvements

when is a pentest smart to do?
Not only after an incident or hack, but also preventively. For example in the following situations:
- When delivering a new application
- After major changes to your software or infrastructure
- When you process sensitive or personal data
- As part of your annual security policy
Even if you have never done a pentest before, this is often the starting point for structural improvement of your digital security.
