What is Penetration Testing?
Penetration testing, or pen testing as it is often referred to, involves an authorised individual adopting the role of a hacker and attempting to compromise or gain access to a network or an application. The objective is to evaluate and assess an organisation’s security posture and identify, analyse and exploit any vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that present a security risk.
A penetration test is able to evaluate the impact that a vulnerability or a set of vulnerabilities might have on the organisation and to highlight how even non-critical issues can be chained together to cause greater impact. By identifying any risks, they can be treated before they are targeted by malicious hackers.

I know many Cyber Essentials providers are rigid to the point of not understanding the goal of CE, but we haven’t found that with URM. We are extremely happy with the service we’ve received – our Cyber Essentials recertifications are always painless and straightforward. The different assessors we’ve had have all been great and pitch to the right level, as well as having an extremely strong knowledge of the subject matter. The account management side is also excellent. Our Account Manager checks in with us on a regular basis, and is very approachable and credible, with a comprehensive understanding of Cyber Essentials.
