Penetration Testing Services

We move clients beyond tick-box compliance with tailored penetration testing that delivers real business value.

In today’s digital-first world, cyber threats evolve faster than most defences can keep up. Penetration testing – simulating real-world attacks on your systems – gives you clear visibility into where you’re vulnerable and what an attacker could realistically achieve.

It’s more than a security check. It’s a proactive tool to:

Build operational resilience
Protect sensitive data
Demonstrate compliance with PCI DSS, ISO 27001, GDPR and other regulations

How AJC can help

Our expert consultants combine manual testing techniques with industry-recognised methodologies to identify real, exploitable weaknesses – not just scan results.

With experience across healthcare, financial services, manufacturing and more, we ensure every engagement reflects your unique risk environment.

Most of our tests run from a few days to a few weeks depending on the scope and complexity.

We support clients by:

Simulating real-world attacks on web apps, cloud infrastructure, internal networks and staff
Identifying misconfigurations, unpatched vulnerabilities and weak credentials
Delivering prioritised, actionable reports based on risk and exploitability
Validating fixes through re-testing and improving ongoing resilience
Using trusted standards like PTES, OWASP and CREST for rigorous, repeatable testing

of our clients have experienced cyber attacks over the last 10 years.
