Penetration Testing

What is a Penetration Test?

Our penetration testing provides a manual, objective-based evaluation of your security controls to identify and exploit technical vulnerabilities before they are leveraged by unauthorized parties. This assessment delivers a definitive baseline of your security posture, ensuring that your defenses are effectively configured against modern, targeted threat vectors.

Our testing services meet the security requirements for organizations in any industry, from finance and healthcare to government and technology.

Methodology: OWASP

Web Application & API

Rigorous manual testing of applications and microservices to identify logic flaws, broken access controls, and injection vulnerabilities within your production or staging environments.

Penetration Testing FAQs

How often should an enterprise perform penetration testing?

Most large organizations perform penetration testing at least annually, and more frequently for high-risk systems or after significant changes to applications or infrastructure. Regulatory frameworks and customer expectations may also drive testing frequency. SpyderSec works with clients to define a cadence that aligns with risk, regulatory requirements, and business priorities.


What information does SpyderSec need to scope a penetration test?

To scope a penetration test, SpyderSec typically requires an understanding of the target environment, business objectives, regulatory drivers, and any constraints or blackout periods. This may include asset inventories, architecture diagrams, and information about critical applications or data flows.


Can SpyderSec’s penetration testing support our audit or certification efforts?

Yes. SpyderSec’s penetration testing reports are designed to support internal audit, external assessments, and certification efforts related to frameworks such as SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, HITRUST, and NIST-based programs. We can map findings and controls to specific requirements where appropriate.
