Internal Penetration Test
A compromised employee account, a phishing click, or a rogue device on your network is all it takes. Once an attacker is inside your perimeter, the question becomes how far they can go. Our internal penetration testing simulates a real insider threat or post-breach scenario to evaluate how effectively your internal controls prevent lateral movement, privilege escalation, and access to critical business systems.
Get StartedComprehensive Internal Testing
Your firewall protects the perimeter, but what happens when an attacker is already inside? Our engineers simulate post-breach scenarios using the same tools and techniques as real adversaries to map every escalation path from a standard user account to full domain compromise.
Internal Penetration Testing Exercises
Active Directory Enumeration & Exploitation
Identifying misconfigurations, weak permissions, and attack paths to Domain Admin privileges across your AD environment.
Lateral Movement Testing
Attempting to pivot between systems and escalate access across your internal network using compromised credentials and tokens.
Network Segmentation Validation
Testing whether critical assets are properly isolated from general user networks and verifying VLAN boundaries hold under attack.
Internal Application Assessment
Evaluating security of databases, file servers, internal web apps, and business critical systems that are only accessible from within the network.
Credential Harvesting & Password Attacks
Extracting cached credentials, cracking password hashes, testing password policies, and identifying credential reuse across systems.
Privileged Access Pathway Analysis
Mapping every route an attacker could take from a standard user account to full administrative control of your environment.
File Share & Data Exposure Discovery
Identifying sensitive data accessible to unauthorized users through misconfigured permissions on network shares and storage.
Custom Tailored Testing
Additional testing activities aligned with your specific technology stack, network architecture, and business environment.
How We Test
Defining engagement objectives, target scope, rules of engagement, and testing parameters before any active testing begins.
Setting up the testing environment and validating access requirements. This includes configuring VPN connectivity or on-site access, provisioning a standard domain user account, verifying network reachability to target subnets, and confirming all prerequisites are operational before testing begins.
Systematic enumeration and exploitation of internal systems including Active Directory, network services, and business applications. Identified weaknesses are chained together through lateral movement and privilege escalation to demonstrate the full impact of a compromised internal account.
Delivering comprehensive findings with prioritized remediation guidance, executive summaries, and up to two free retests within 45 days.
Our testing methodology aligns with recognized industry standards including the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES), OWASP Testing Guide, NIST SP 800-115 (Technical Guide to Information Security Testing), and the MITRE ATT&CK Framework.
Your Perimeter Is Not Enough.
Firewalls stop outside threats, but they can't protect you from a compromised employee, a phishing attack that lands, or a contractor with too much access. Internal testing reveals what happens after the breach.
Identify the chain of misconfigurations and weak permissions that allow a standard user to reach Domain Admin.
Prove that your sensitive systems, payment networks, and critical infrastructure are actually isolated from general user access.
Satisfy PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, CMMC, and ISO 27001 mandates that require regular internal penetration testing.
Identify the lateral movement paths that ransomware operators exploit to move from a single workstation to encrypting your entire network.
Find exposed file shares, misconfigured databases, and unprotected credentials before an insider or attacker accesses them.
Compliance-Ready Reports
Each report is structured to meet framework-specific requirements and serve as evidence in your compliance assessments.
Process
Getting Started Is Simple
Tell us about your environment so we come prepared. No commitment required.
A simple, no-pressure conversation about your security needs and goals.
We send a clear quote. You sign the SOW and we schedule the engagement.
We plan the engagement, define rules of engagement, and test. Thoroughly.
You receive a custom report with up to two free retests within 45 days.
Questionnaire & Discovery
Fill out a brief questionnaire about your environment, infrastructure, and security goals. This helps us understand your landscape before we ever get on a call.
Exploratory Call
A straightforward conversation to understand your needs, answer questions, and determine if we're the right fit. No sales pitch, no pressure.
Scoping & Agreement
We provide a clear, transparent quote based on the scope discussed. Once aligned, you sign the statement of work and we lock in your engagement window.
Planning & Execution
We schedule a planning call to finalize the rules of engagement, then execute the assessment. Every test is manual, thorough, and performed by experienced professionals.
Reporting & Retesting
Within one week of the engagement, you receive a custom penetration test report. You have 45 days to remediate findings, and we perform up to two free retests with updated reports.
