Common infrastructure flaws
Classes of flaws the test looks for and the components assessed. The severity of each finding depends on context and is justified in the report.
- Weak Network Segmentation
- Inadequate network segmentation. Lateral movement across VLANs and critical environments.
- Unpatched Systems
- Outdated systems. Exploitation of known vulnerabilities left unpatched.
- Weak Authentication
- Insecure authentication. Weak passwords, missing MFA and default credentials.
- Firewall Misconfiguration
- Firewall weaknesses. Overly permissive rules and exposed services.
- Privilege Escalation
- Excessive privileges. Users with more access than they need.
- Exposed Services
- Internet-facing services. Exposed RDP, SMB, VPN and administrative panels.

Why does your infrastructure need a pentest?
Network and server infrastructure is the foundation of any digital business. Misconfigurations, outdated services and broken access controls can let attackers compromise the entire company.
Our infrastructure pentest simulates real attacks to find gaps before criminals do. Protect your perimeter and internal network.
Risks the assessment helps you avoid
- Unauthorized access
- Attackers can take control of servers and systems
- Lateral movement
- A compromise spreads across the internal network
- Data exfiltration
- Mass theft of corporate information
- Ransomware
- Data held hostage with ransom demands
Investment: how does pricing work?
The investment depends on the size and complexity of your infrastructure:
| Size | Typical scope | Estimated timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Small | Up to 50 IPs/hosts | 5-7 days |
| Medium | 50-200 IPs/hosts | 7-10 days |
| Large | 200-500 IPs/hosts | 10-15 days |
| Enterprise | 500+ IPs/hosts | 15-30 days |
Estimated timelines; each project's schedule is set in the proposal, based on scope.
Factors that influence pricing:
- Number of IPs and subnets
- Infrastructure complexity (cloud, on-premise, hybrid)
- Active Directory and domains
- Network segmentation
- Internal vs. external scope
Why request a quote from us?

Preventing a ransomware attack avoids ransom, recovery and data-loss costs.
Frequently asked questions about infrastructure pentesting
What is the difference between an infrastructure pentest and an automated scan?
Automated scanners only flag potential vulnerabilities. A manual pentest validates real exploitation, lateral movement, privilege escalation and the practical impact on your business.
Can the test take down servers or services?
Our testing follows a controlled, coordinated methodology designed to minimize operational risk. Any more sensitive test is agreed with your team in advance.
Do you perform internal and external testing?
Yes. We simulate both external attacks and internal scenarios following an initial compromise, including lateral movement and privilege abuse.
Do you test Active Directory?
Yes. We assess permissions, insecure policies, kerberoasting, delegation abuse, exposed credentials, privilege escalation and lateral movement across Active Directory environments.
Does the report include a remediation plan?
Yes. The report includes technical evidence, severity ratings, business impact and a prioritized remediation plan for your technical team.
Do you test cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP)?
Yes. We assess cloud infrastructure, including IAM configuration, S3 buckets, security groups, load balancers and managed services.
Does the pentest affect production?
We coordinate testing to avoid impact. Destructive tests (DoS, crash-inducing exploits) are only run in test environments or with explicit authorization.
How long does it take?
It depends on the number of assets, the complexity of the network and the type of test (internal, external or both). The timeline is estimated in the proposal, before you hire.
