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.

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

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.

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.

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.
