Network Penetration Testing

Very deeply, when Active Directory is part of the engagement scope. We go well beyond running a scanner against your domain controllers. Our operators ingest your AD environment into a graph database that maps every user, group, computer, GPO, trust relationship, session, and delegation path across the entire directory. This lets us visualize and query attack paths the way an adversary would: not just individual misconfigurations in isolation, but the chains of permissions that connect a low-privilege user account to Domain Admin. We test Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, unconstrained and constrained delegation abuse, GPO misconfigurations, password policy weaknesses, LLMNR/NBT-NS poisoning, NTLM relay attacks, and service account compromise. The graph-based approach means we catch escalation paths that checklist-style audits miss entirely, because the risk isn't in any single node but in how those nodes connect to each other.

Our testing is designed to avoid disruption. We coordinate with your team, agree on rules of engagement, avoid known-dangerous actions (like account lockouts or denial-of-service) unless explicitly approved, and schedule high-risk testing during maintenance windows. Safety is a non-negotiable part of our methodology.

Most network engagements run one to three weeks depending on the number of hosts, subnets, sites, and whether testing covers internal, external, or both. We provide a detailed timeline during the scoping call so expectations are clear before testing begins. If we discover a critical finding that poses an imminent threat to your environment, we escalate it to your team immediately. You will never be in a position where we are sitting on something dangerous waiting for a report deadline.

Yes. We leverage AI across our testing workflows to accelerate reconnaissance, analyze large data sets, and identify patterns that would take significantly longer manually. All AI tooling we use is internal and self-hosted or commercially licensed with enterprise data protections. Client data is never sent to public AI models or consumer-grade services. Your environment data stays under our control throughout the engagement.

The report is the beginning of the conversation, not the end. You get a live debrief with the operators who ran the engagement, walking through every finding, its real-world impact, and specific remediation steps. Findings are CVSS-scored and mapped to your compliance framework so your team can prioritize by risk. If your team needs hands-on help remediating, we can work alongside your engineers to close the gaps directly. Once fixes are in place, we conduct retesting to verify that each issue is truly resolved, not just patched on paper. We are not a firm that drops a PDF and disappears. We stay engaged until your environment is actually stronger.
