Penetration Testing

Our mission is to focus on innovation and staying ahead of emerging threats as we empower businesses to thrive securely in today’s digital landscape.

Penetration Testing

Cybersecurity penetration testing is a simulated cyberattack performed on an organisation's systems, networks, or applications to evaluate their security posture at a point in time.

At Ackroyd + Stanworth our aim is to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by real-world attackers and assess the effectiveness of existing defenses. Our consultants use the same tools and techniques as malicious hackers but work with the permission of our clients to conduct a comprehensive security assessment.

Our goal is to ensure that the insights gained from penetration testing help our clients to strengthen their defenses and reduce the risk of cybersecurity breaches.

Real-World
Security Information 
Business Focused Cybersecurity

At Ackroyd + Stanworth, we have integrating cybersecurity penetration testing with risk management, allowing our clients to create a more comprehensive and targeted security approach. Penetration testing commonly identifies technical vulnerabilities, but when combined with risk management, the security focus is on high-risk assets that could cause the greatest harm to the business in the event of a security breach. This ensures that our clients resources are used effectively.

This collaboration allows our clients to make informed decisions by using real-world information from penetration testing to enhance risk assessments, ensuring that remediation efforts are aligned with business goals and the most pressing threats. It also improves risk mitigation by targeting vulnerabilities based on their potential business impact rather than merely their technical severity.

The Ackroyd + Stanworth penetration testing approach creates a robust, business aligned security framework that not only uncovers technical weaknesses but also addresses them with a strategic focus on minimising the overall risk to our clients businesses.
