Web applications are a prime target for cybercriminals—often exposed to the internet and rich with sensitive data. At Secure Chain Technology Group, our Web Application Penetration Testing service simulates real-world attacks to uncover vulnerabilities in your websites, portals, and APIs before attackers do.
We test against the latest threats, including the OWASP Top 10, to ensure your applications are secure, resilient, and compliant with industry standards.
Expose the Gaps, Strengthen Your Defences.
At Secure Chain Technology Group, our Penetration Testing services are designed to simulate real-world cyberattacks—so you can uncover vulnerabilities before malicious actors do. Whether you’re preparing for compliance, launching a new system, or simply want peace of mind, our expert-led testing gives you the clarity and confidence to move forward securely.
Why Penetration Testing Matters
Cyber threats are evolving faster than ever. Firewalls and antivirus software alone are no longer enough. Penetration testing helps you:
- Reveal hidden vulnerabilities that automated tools may miss
- Validate your existing security controls
- Demonstrate due diligence to clients, partners, and regulators
- Meet compliance requirements such as ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, and PCI-DSS3
Our Testing Methodology
Our approach is thorough, collaborative, and tailored to your environment. It includes:
- Pre-engagement scoping and legal authorisation
- Information gathering and threat modelling
- Exploitation of vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world risk
- Post-test reporting with clear remediation guidance
- Optional retesting to validate fixes
Types of Penetration Testing We Offer
We offer a full suite of penetration testing services to cover every layer of your digital infrastructure:
External Infrastructure Testing
External Infrastructure Penetration Testing simulates real-world cyberattacks against your internet-facing systems—such as firewalls, web servers, email gateways, and remote access points. The goal is to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by external threat actors to gain unauthorised access, disrupt services, or steal data.
At Secure Chain Technology Group, our expert testers use industry-standard methodologies (including OWASP and NIST) to uncover weaknesses in your perimeter defences and provide clear, actionable remediation guidance.
Why It Matters
- Protects your public-facing assets from real-world threats
- Validates firewall and access control configurations
- Supports compliance with ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, and PCI-DSS
- Demonstrates due diligence to clients, partners, and regulators
Internal Network Testing
Internal Network Penetration Testing simulates attacks from within your organisation—whether by a malicious insider or a compromised device. This test evaluates the security of your internal systems, user privileges, network segmentation, and endpoint protections to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited once perimeter defences are bypassed.
At Secure Chain Technology Group, we help you uncover hidden risks inside your network and provide clear, actionable guidance to strengthen your internal security posture.
Why It Matters
- Protects against insider threats and lateral movement
- Validates internal access controls and segmentation
- Supports compliance with ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, and GDPR
- Demonstrates proactive risk management to clients and auditors
Cloud Security Testing
Cloud environments offer flexibility and scalability—but they also introduce new security challenges. At Secure Chain Technology Group, our Cloud Security Penetration Testing service is designed to identify and address vulnerabilities in your cloud infrastructure before attackers can exploit them.
We simulate real-world attacks on your cloud-hosted assets—such as Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud—to uncover misconfigurations, weak access controls, and insecure APIs. Our testing aligns with industry standards like CIS Benchmarks, OWASP, and ISO 27001
Why It Matters
- Cloud Misconfigurations are one of the leading causes of data breaches.
- Shared Responsibility means your provider secures the platform, but you’re responsible for securing your data and configurations.
- Compliance Requirements such as ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus require regular testing of cloud environments.
Wireless Network Testing
Wireless networks are often the weakest link in an organisation’s security posture—offering attackers a way in without ever stepping foot inside. At Secure Chain Technology Group, our Wireless Network Penetration Testing service identifies vulnerabilities in your Wi-Fi infrastructure that could allow unauthorised access, data interception, or lateral movement across your internal network.
We simulate real-world attacks to assess the security of your wireless access points, encryption protocols, and authentication mechanisms—ensuring your wireless environment is as secure as your wired one.
Why It Matters
- Detects rogue access points and misconfigured devices
- Validates encryption standards (e.g. WPA2, WPA3)
- Assesses guest network isolation and segmentation
- Supports compliance with ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, and PCI-DSS
- Protects against drive-by attacks and wireless sniffing
Web Application Testing
Web applications are a prime target for cybercriminals—often exposed to the internet and rich with sensitive data. At Secure Chain Technology Group, our Web Application Penetration Testing service simulates real-world attacks to uncover vulnerabilities in your websites, portals, and APIs before attackers do.
We test against the latest threats, including the OWASP Top 10, to ensure your applications are secure, resilient, and compliant with industry standards.
Why It Matters
- Identifies critical flaws like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and authentication bypass
- Protects customer data and business-critical systems
- Supports compliance with ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and Cyber Essentials Plus
- Demonstrates due diligence to clients, partners, and regulators
Configuration Reviews
A Configuration Review is a critical component of penetration testing that focuses on evaluating the security settings of your systems, applications, and network devices. Unlike traditional penetration testing, which simulates attacks, configuration reviews assess whether your infrastructure is securely and correctly configured according to industry best practices and compliance standards.
At Secure Chain Technology Group, our experts perform in-depth reviews of your firewalls, servers, cloud platforms, and endpoint configurations to identify misconfigurations, weak policies, and unnecessary exposure that could be exploited by attackers.
How Often Should You Test?
For organisations seeking or maintaining ISO 27001 certification, penetration testing should be conducted:
- Annually for internal networks
- Semi-annually for external infrastructure (typically in Q1 and Q4)4
Testing frequency may vary based on:
- Changes to infrastructure or applications
- Industry-specific compliance requirements
- Risk appetite and threat landscape
