Penetration Testing Services

EMPOWER AND SECURE YOUR BUSINESS

High-Impact Penetration Testing

Cyber attacks rarely respect boundaries between infrastructure, applications, and cloud services. Attackers exploit the weakest link — whether that’s an exposed server, a misconfigured cloud service, or a flaw in application logic.

Metis Security delivers professional penetration testing services that combine infrastructure penetration testing and web application penetration testing into a single, cohesive assessment or as separately as you desire. Our testing is designed to reflect real-world attack techniques, providing clarity on genuine risk rather than overwhelming you with low-value findings.

We assess on-premise, cloud, and hybrid environments, including Azure infrastructure, alongside public-facing and internal web applications and APIs. By testing across layers, we identify how vulnerabilities can be chained together to achieve meaningful impact.

Every engagement is tailored. We work with you to understand your business objectives, compliance drivers, and risk appetite, ensuring testing activity and remediation guidance align with what matters most to your organisation.

Our penetration testing services focus on depth, accuracy, and actionable outcomes — helping you make informed decisions and measurably improve your security posture.

Infrastructure
  • Linux and Windows server operating systems
  • Firewalls, routers, load balancers, VPNs, and network services
  • Identity, authentication, and access control mechanisms
  • Middleware and platform services (web, email, database servers)
  • Remote access and supporting infrastructure services

Application:

  • Public-facing and internal web applications
  • Custom-built and third-party applications
  • REST APIs and Mobile Apps
  • Authentication, authorisation & session management controls
  • Business logic, data handling, and input validation

Reconnaissance & Attack Surface Mapping

We identify and map in-scope infrastructure, applications, and interfaces, building a clear picture of exposed services, trust boundaries, and dependencies. This ensures testing is focused, relevant, and realistic.

Enumeration & Manual Analysis

We analyse technologies, configurations, application behaviour, and security controls in detail. Automated tooling is used where appropriate, but our testers rely heavily on manual techniques to uncover issues automation alone cannot detect.

Exploitation & Validation

Where vulnerabilities are identified, we perform controlled exploitation to confirm impact. This may include chaining infrastructure and application weaknesses to demonstrate how an attacker could gain access, escalate privileges, or access sensitive data.

Risk Based Prioritisation

Findings are assessed in the context of your environment, threat exposure, and business priorities. We distinguish between theoretical issues and vulnerabilities that represent genuine risk, producing a clear and practical remediation roadmap.

Reporting & Technical Debrief

You receive a comprehensive penetration testing report detailing confirmed findings, risk ratings, and remediation guidance. We explain what was found, why it matters, and how to fix it, and we are available to walk through the results with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
