Penetration Testing
Simulate real-world cyberattacks to identify critical vulnerabilities in your systems.
Beyond standard vulnerability assessments
Penetration testing is the practice of simulating real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities in systems, applications, people and processes—all before malicious actors can exploit them.

When you choose BPM for penetration testing services, you gain direct access to the most qualified cybersecurity professionals in the industry.

External network penetration testing
We simulate attacks from outside your organization’s network, identifying vulnerabilities in your external-facing infrastructure such as web servers, email servers and firewalls.
Internal network penetration testing
We find vulnerabilities within your internal network infrastructure and simulate attacks from within the organization, such as from a malicious insider or an attacker who has already breached external defenses.
Web application penetration testing
We target web-based applications to identify security flaws, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS) and broken authentication.
Social engineering and phishing assessments
Our assessments evaluate the human element of your security, exploiting human behavior through phishing emails, phone scams and more. This helps your organization strengthen its security culture.
Physical security assessments
We send our specialists onsite to assess an organization’s physical security measures, such as access controls, surveillance systems and personnel security, to identify vulnerabilities and potential weaknesses.

The BPM penetration testing process
Our penetration testing specialists maintain open communication and collaboration throughout the process. BPM’s methodology is broken down below.
Scoping and planning.
Our approach is not prescriptive. We begin by taking the time to understand your environment and security goals. In this stage, we develop a tailored testing plan, including the type of pen test, the tools we will use and guardrails of what’s in scope.
Reconnaissance and information gathering.
We collect relevant information about your organization and employees to understand its attack surface.
Vulnerability scanning and analysis.
Our thorough assessment leverages tools and methods to gain a picture of your vulnerabilities and what controls are in place.
Exploitation and post-exploitation.
Is your critical data at risk? We attempt to bypass your controls and gain access to your systems and data, emulating a real-world attacker.
Reporting and remediation guidance.
Take proactive steps before an attacker exploits you. Our customized, detailed report details the findings and their potential impact on your organization. We pro-vide actionable guidance and recommendations on how to mitigate your vulnerabilities.
