Penetration Testing
With the typical UK Small Business spending between 10% and 25% of their annual IT budget on Cyber Security, how can they be sure that it's money well spent? That's where Renaissance's Penetration Testing service can help provide both peace of mind, and a gauge of where you could be better protected.

The volume and severity of cyberthreats have surged in recent times. Businesses of all sizes are vulnerable to cyberattacks, so it’s crucial to keep one step ahead in the world of cyber security. Penetration testing in the UK allows you to proactively safeguard your business against emerging threats by simulating real-world attacks against your networks.

Cyber Security Magnifying Glass

Protect Data with a Penetration Testing Company

Penetration testing has become a common and standard method of proving the security of business systems, as cyber threats continue to evolve. Most cyber security accreditations mandate that a penetration test must be conducted at least annually, and many providers of cyber insurance services have made routine testing of cyber security systems a standard requirement for their business policies.

An accredited penetration test is a great way of proving to yourself and your clients that your cyber security systems are effective, and that your business is serious about protecting the data it holds and processes.

Most importantly, it’s about recognising that the fight against cyber threats is constantly changing and evolving, and that assuming your existing security solutions are “good enough” can often be dangerous.

How Our Penetration Testing Services Work

At Renaissance, as one of the trusted Penetration Testing Companies UK, we break down complex testing into simple, manageable steps.

Instant Supports
Step One: Scope

Our Sales & Account Management team will discuss your test requirements and timescales with you, and request any further information we need about your IT environment, in order to be able to perform an effective and appropriately-scoped test.

Step Two: Quote

Once we have a clear picture of what needs testing and how your test should be conducted, we'll calculate how long we expect the test to take, and then provide a clear and concise quotation for your approval.

Productive Monitoring
Step Three: Test

We'll begin your test at the agreed date and time, checking for vulnerabilities and weaknesses which could be exploited or chained together to form an effective attack. Our findings are compiled into CREST-accredited and easy-to-read reports, with different versions available to suit various levels of technical understanding.

Step Four: Remediate

Once your reports have been compiled and handed over, our engineers are on-hand to assist with remediations, under the terms of your existing Support Agreement with us. Don't have a Support Agreement? No problem; you can use your own internal IT department, or a 3rd-party, or we can work with you on a Time & Parts basis. Alternatively, you might see the results of your Pen Test as a catalyst for signing-up to one of our Managed Service Plans!

Step Five: Retest

Once all issues have been addressed, we'll conduct a second, Remediation test, to validate the effectiveness of the remediation work. One Remediation test is included in our standard Penetration Test package, so it's worth being confident that all issues have been resolved before asking us to complete this second test. Subsequent tests may incur additional charges.
