Network Penetration Testing
Identify vulnerabilities before cybercriminals do with Impact IT Solution’s network penetration testing services tailored for small and medium-sized businesses.
We simulate real world cyber attacks to uncover weaknesses in your network, helping you strengthen security before they can be exploited.
Strenghten Your Cyber Security with Real World Testing
Cyber threats are becoming more advanced, and SMEs are increasingly targeted due to limited defences.
Our network penetration testing service provides a clear, practical understanding of your security risks, so you can take action before an incident occurs.
Common Cyber Security Risks Facing SMEs
Many small and medium-sized businesses face growing cyber security challenges, often without full visibility of where their risks lie.
Common issues include:
Hidden vulnerabilities in networks, systems, and configurations
Increasing ransomware, phishing, and credential-based attacks
Limited visibility into real-world security weaknesses
Pressure to meet compliance requirements (Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, GDPR)
Lack of in-house cyber security expertise
Without proactive testing, these risks can remain undetected until they lead to data breaches, downtime, or financial loss.
Why Network Penetration Testing Matters
Network penetration testing gives you a clear, real-world understanding of your security — so you can act before attackers do.
With penetration testing, your business can:
Prevent data breaches and unauthorised access
Reduce downtime and operational disruption
Identify and fix vulnerabilities before they are exploited
Strengthen overall cyber resilience
Support compliance with industry standards and regulations
Gain confidence in your security posture
Penetration testing turns uncertainty into clear, actionable insight, helping you make informed decisions about your cyber security.
Don’t wait for a cyber incident to expose weaknesses in your systems. Take the first step towards stronger security.
What Our Network Penetration Testing Service Covers
External Network Testing
We assess the parts of your network that are exposed to the internet, the most common entry points for cyber attacks.
This includes testing:
Firewalls, servers, and public-facing systems
Remote access services (VPN, RDP)
Web-facing infrastructure and open ports
Our goal is to identify vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit remotely, without needing internal access.
Internal Network Testing
Not all threats come from outside. We simulate scenarios where an attacker has gained access to your internal network, whether through phishing, compromised credentials, or an insider threat.
This helps uncover:
Weak internal access controls
Privilege escalation risks
Lateral movement opportunities within your network
Vulnerability Identification
Using a combination of automated tools and manual testing techniques, we identify weaknesses across your environment.
This includes:
Misconfigurations in systems and networks
Outdated or unpatched software
Weak authentication mechanisms
Insecure services or protocols
Every finding is validated to ensure it represents a genuine, exploitable risk.
Risk Prioritisation
Not all vulnerabilities carry the same level of risk. We help you focus on what matters most.
Each issue is:
Categorised by severity (e.g. critical, high, medium, low)
Assessed based on real-world exploitability
Prioritised according to business impact
This allows you to take a risk-based approach to remediation, rather than being overwhelmed by technical detail.
Actionable Reporting
You will receive a clear, professional report designed for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Your report includes:
A plain-English executive summary
Detailed technical findings
Step-by-step remediation guidance
Screenshots and supporting evidence
This ensures your team can quickly understand the risks and take action, or use the report for compliance, audits, and internal assurance.
