Penetration Testing

Find the Gaps. Before Someone Else Does.

At Quadra Cyber, we don’t treat pentesting like a checkbox exercise. Whether you need a fast, automated scan or a deep-dive manual assessment, we tailor every test to your environment. Our goal is simple: uncover real risks before attackers do — and give you a clear path to fix them.

Clear findings. Practical fixes. No wasted time.

What Sets Our Pentesting Apart

Built for Real-World IT Environments

We tailor every assessment to your infrastructure. Whether it's a flat network or segmented by design, we structure the test to uncover practical risks, not just checkboxes.

Budget-Conscious, Not Barebones

We scope with intention. You get meaningful findings and actionable insight — without inflated hours or vague deliverables.

Actual Coverage, Not Just an Annual Checkbox

One-and-done pentests leave gaps. Our approach delivers better visibility during the times you need it most — like post-migration, post-incident, or before audit cycles.

Run by Experts Who’ve Done This Before

Your test will be led by a certified, senior-level professional with credentials like OSCP, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, eCPPT, and eWPTX — and a track record of seeing both offensive and defensive sides of the house.

Types of Pentesting

External Penetration Testing

We simulate real-world attacks from the outside — scanning for vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit to breach your perimeter. Think open ports, exposed services, and weak external assets.

Social Engineering

We test the human layer — from phishing and pretexting to impersonation attempts — targeting common gaps in user awareness and process enforcement.

Web Application Penetration Testing

We deep dive into your web apps to uncover broken access controls, injection flaws, insecure session handling, and other OWASP Top 10 issues that could jeopardize data.

API Penetration Testing

APIs are the back door to your data. We test for improper auth, rate-limiting failures, data leakage, and logic flaws that could be exploited in real-world scenarios.

Internal Penetration Testing

Once inside, we map your internal environment the way a threat actor would — identifying lateral movement paths, privilege escalation flaws, and unmonitored access points.

Vulnerability Scanning

We run automated scans paired with expert review to cut through noise. You’ll get clean, prioritized findings — not just a PDF full of CVEs.

Cloud Penetration Testing

We assess your cloud environment (Azure, AWS, GCP) for misconfigurations, overly permissive roles, insecure storage, and exposed APIs — before attackers do.

Mobile Application Penetration Testing

We evaluate iOS and Android apps for insecure data storage, weak authentication, exposed endpoints, and reverse-engineering risks.

Approaches to Penetration Testing

Black Box Testing

Just like a real-world attacker — no insider access, no prior knowledge. This method shows you exactly what an external threat actor can uncover and exploit from the outside. Ideal for testing your first line of defense.

White Box Testing

We get full access to code, configs, credentials, and more. This lets us go deep — identifying hidden flaws a typical attacker might miss. Perfect for dev environments, pre-production launches, or high-risk applications.

Gray Box Testing

The most common choice for real-world risk validation. You give us partial access (like credentials or IP ranges), and we simulate an attacker with insider foothold. This helps you uncover lateral movement risks and privilege escalation paths before someone else does.

Phases & Methodology

All testing performed is based on the NIST SP 800-115 Technical Guide to Information Security Testing and Assessment, OWASP Testing Guide (v4), and customized testing frameworks.

How We Approach Real-World Penetration Testing

We follow proven frameworks like NIST, OWASP, PTES, and MITRE ATT&CK to guide our work — not just for compliance, but because they work. Our approach combines real-world tactics with smart tooling to uncover weaknesses before attackers do.

Web & API Security

Identifying OWASP Top 10 risks, broken auth, and exposed or misconfigured endpoints.

Cloud & Container Security

Evaluating IAM risks, misconfigured storage, and cloud-native vulnerabilities.

Network & Infrastructure Testing

Assessing internal and perimeter defenses, firewall rulesets, and segmentation gaps.

Privilege Escalation & Lateral Movement

Simulating real-world adversary paths — from initial access to domain-wide compromise.

Wireless Security

Identifying rogue access points, encryption flaws, and weak auth controls.

Compliance & Best Practices

Aligning your environment with ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and other required frameworks through ethical hacking.
