External Penetration Tests

The types of tests that these assessments focus on (but are not limited to) include:

External tests will assess the security controls configured on Access Routers, Firewalls, Intrusion Detection Systems and Contents Scanners to protect the perimeter of the network. External Tests will also provide the ability to assess Security controls for applications that are published through the Internet. Nettitude recognises that there is increasing logic being built into web services to deliver Extranet, e-commerce and supply chain management functions into Internet users. As a consequence, Nettitude pays particular attention to these resources, and performs granular assessments on their build and configuration, as well as interaction with other data sources that sit in your protected network segments.

Nettitude carries out all External tests in line with the OSSTM security testing methodology. Nettitude is a CREST and CHECK approved Penetration Testing organisation as well as a Visa/Mastercard PCI ASV certified company. All of our External tests deliver strong documentation that include a High Level Management report, a detailed technical review document and where relevant, a regulatory compliance tick-sheet for organisations that need to meet pre-determined security requirements.
