Professional Penetration Testing You Can Trust
Comprehensive security assessments for your web applications, APIs, hosting infrastructure, DNS, and email servers — all in one thorough test.
Compliance-Ready Reports Guaranteed for SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001
What is Penetration Testing?
Think of it like hiring a professional locksmith to test your home security — they try to break in (with your permission) to show you exactly where the weaknesses are.
In Simple Terms:
We Act Like Hackers
Our security experts attempt to break into your website, just like a real attacker would — but safely and with your permission.
We Document Everything
Every vulnerability we find is documented with proof, severity rating, and step-by-step instructions on how to fix it.
You Get Compliance-Ready Reports
Our reports satisfy compliance requirements for SOC 2, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and other security assessments.
Types of Penetration Tests
Different tests simulate different levels of attacker knowledge. Here's what each type means:
We test your website with zero inside knowledge — just like a real hacker who found your website on the internet.
What We Know:
- • Only your website URL
- • Nothing else — no passwords, no insider info
Best For:
Testing how secure you are against random internet attackers
We test with limited access — like a disgruntled employee or a hacker who stole someone's login credentials.
What We Know:
- • Your website URL
- • A regular user login (you provide)
Best For:
Testing what happens if an employee account gets compromised
We test with full access to your code and systems — the most thorough test possible.
What We Know:
- • Your website URL
- • Admin access
- • Source code access
Best For:
Deep security testing and compliance requirements
Vulnerability Scanning vs. Penetration Testing
MapleGRC customers already receive automated vulnerability scans. Here's why penetration testing goes further — and why you need both for complete security coverage.
MapleGRC Vulnerability Scans:
- OpenVAS — Identifies security weaknesses on your website
- OWASP ZAP Passive — Analyzes web traffic for hidden security issues
- OWASP ZAP Active — Simulates attacks to find vulnerabilities
- Nmap TCP — Scans for open network ports and services
- Nmap UDP — Finds open UDP ports that may be vulnerable
- Slyze TLS/SSL — Evaluates your website's encryption security
What Vulnerability Scans Do:
- Detect known vulnerabilities (CVEs)
- Identify misconfigurations
- Check for outdated software
- Run automatically on schedule
Limitations:
- Cannot verify if vulnerabilities are exploitable
- High false positive rates
- Cannot chain vulnerabilities together
- Limited business logic testing
What Makes Pen Testing Different:
- Exploitation Attempts — We actually try to exploit vulnerabilities, not just detect them
- Chained Attacks — Combine multiple low-risk issues into high-impact attacks
- Business Logic Testing — Test for flaws that automated tools miss
- Social Engineering Vectors — Identify human-targeted attack paths
- Proof of Concept — Demonstrate real impact with evidence
- CVSS Scoring — Prioritized findings with industry-standard severity ratings
What Pen Testing Proves:
- Vulnerabilities are actually exploitable
- Real-world attack impact
- Data breach potential
- Compliance requirement satisfaction
Bottom line: Vulnerability scans tell you what might be wrong. Penetration testing proves what is wrong and shows exactly how an attacker could exploit it.
Best Practice: Use Both Together
Run vulnerability scans continuously (included with MapleGRC) for ongoing monitoring, and conduct penetration tests quarterly or after major changes to validate your security posture.
