IT Security Penetration Testing
Protect you business against the risks of a cyber-attack
With cyber-crime upon umbrella companies on the increase, no business can afford to not take proactive action to ensure IT security is top of the risk management agenda. Failing to plan is planning to fail.
Website penetration testing (AKA pen testing) should be your first action to quickly understand your online vulnerabilities to then immediately eliminate them and reduce your exposure to cyber-criminals and the potentially business ending consequences.
PayePass has sourced UK based Website Penetration Services to offer its services to our clients and website browsers at a discounted rate for its full suite of testing, plus a no commitment free website security check. With accreditations including OSCP, OWASP and ISO 9001, Website Penetration Services has what you need to be confident that you are in safe hands.
No matter how your IT security is structured, with internal or external support or a blend of both, the services of Website Penetration Services are available to you.
The rise of cyber-crime
Probably unbeknown to most of them, 88% of UK businesses in 2021 experienced a cyber-attack.
Most businesses assume everything will be OK but, when a successful attack happens, it’s too late. It is an unfortunate fact that 40% of SMEs that are successfully attacked have to shut their doors as the reputational and financial damage cannot be survived.
If what has recently happened in the umbrella sector is not enough for all businesses involved in it to act quickly to improve IT security, here are more very disturbing statistics:
- The UK is consistently in the world’s top 10 of countries successfully attacked
- Every 39 seconds there is a cyber attack
- 43% of cyber-attacks target small business
- 75% of cyber-attacks start with an email
- Human error accounts for 95% of all data breaches
- Most companies take nearly 6 months to detect a data breach, even major ones
- On average, only 5% of companies’ folders are properly protected
- 4 million files are stolen every day - that’s 44 every single second
- The global average costs of a data breach is $3.9 million across SMEs
- Cyber-crime is quickly becoming more profitable than the illegal drug trade
What protective actions should be taken?
Although cyber-criminals have other sophisticated routes into a business, it is accepted that one of the easiest ways in is via their commercial website and connected domains, very often through online portals, live chat, or the common place enquiry page.
In the IT security space, vulnerability testing of domains by pen testing is the accepted starting point. It will provide quick results, enable a business to rapidly focus on priorities and, potentially, avoid huge costs for unnecessary security measures.
Following the initial domain testing, Website Penetration Services then have the in-house knowledge and expertise to act like your very own ethical hacker and subject all of your systems to sustained and multiple attacks to test all aspects of your IT systems.
Pen testing explained
- A simulated cyber-attack in a controlled environment to identify and resolve weaknesses within IT security systems and infrastructure
- Analyse the security of your IT systems
- Following a test, weaknesses are identified to enable focussed remedial actions
- The objective of a testing should always be to improve the security procedures used to defend against cyber-attacks
- Tests should be conducted more than every 12 months, but quarterly is fast becoming the norm
Deep pen testing can and really should cover:
All digital
- systems
- applications
- software
- staff
- devices
All communications
- text
- social media channels
- telephone
- post

How quick is pen testing?
