Security Testing
Offensive security assessment that finds exploitable weaknesses across your applications, code and infrastructure before an attacker does. Every finding is evidence-backed, severity-rated and paired with practical remediation.
Overview
Find exploitable weaknesses before an attacker does
Security testing is offensive assessment work: a certified, senior practitioner attacks your applications, code and infrastructure the way a real adversary would, then hands you proof of what they found and a clear route to fixing it. The problem it solves is quiet and expensive. Weaknesses that never surface in a functional test, an insecure authentication flow, an exposed API, a flaw buried in third-party code, are the ones attackers reach first. Finding them on your terms, under agreed rules of engagement, is far cheaper than finding them during an incident.
This service is built for regulated and high-growth organisations that need independent assurance their controls actually hold. With Baknet, a single accountable partner spans security, data assurance, software QA and people, so security testing does not sit in a silo. Our method is evidence-led throughout: every finding is reproducible, every fix is verified, and you get one included retest to confirm closure. Baknet is certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 9001 at firm level, so the way we handle your data and run the engagement is itself audited.
What it includes
Four assessment types, one accountable engagement
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing
We test web applications, mobile applications, desktop applications, APIs, infrastructure and cloud, combining manual testing with specialist tooling. Automated scanners find the obvious; experienced practitioners find the chained flaws and logic errors that scanners miss. Scope is agreed up front so you know exactly what is being tested and why.
Static Application Security Testing
Before code ships, we examine it directly through software composition analysis, source code security review, and application binary decompilation and obfuscation analysis. This surfaces vulnerable dependencies, insecure coding patterns and weaknesses that only show up when the binary itself is picked apart. It pairs naturally with dynamic testing to cover both the running application and the source behind it.
Red Team Assessments
When you want to know how a determined attacker would actually get in, we run ethical hacking, phishing simulation, user-level security awareness assessment, physical security assessment and OSINT. The goal is not a checklist but a realistic picture of your exposure across technology and people. Findings show where a single weak point could open a path to something far more serious.
Product Security Assessments
For enterprise platforms including Salesforce, SAP and other ERP systems, we run purpose-built assessments that account for how these products are configured, extended and integrated. Generic testing overlooks platform-specific risk; this work is tailored to the way your business actually runs on them.
How we deliver
One defined path, from scope to verified closure
Every engagement runs the same disciplined way, with daily progress updates throughout, so nothing is a surprise when the report lands.
01
Scope and Pre-Assessment
We agree in-scope assets, obtain access, credentials and any third-party consents, and set rules of engagement so nothing is ambiguous.
02
Reconnaissance and Mapping
We fingerprint your applications and infrastructure, map entry points and analyse authentication flows.
03
Exploit and Evidence
We run manual and tool-assisted attacks, capturing step-by-step notes, video and request-response proof for every finding, then remove false positives and rate real issues by likelihood, impact and severity.
04
Report, Remediate, Retest
You receive a severity-rated report framed by business impact, a walkthrough with your engineers, and one included retest round to prove the fixes hold.
It is the same disciplined path we use across the practice. See how we work on How We Engage.
Business value
Why Security Testing pays off
Reduced Breach Exposure
Exploitable flaws are found and fixed before they can be weaponised, which lowers both the likelihood and the cost of a breach. Closing a gap early keeps a minor weakness from escalating into a business-wide incident.
Audit and Compliance Ready
Evidence-backed reports satisfy the VAPT expectations of regulators, standards bodies and enterprise customers. Clear documentation shortens audit cycles and shows stakeholders your controls have been independently tested, work that dovetails with Standards Compliance.
Prioritised Remediation
Likelihood, impact and severity ratings let your engineers fix what matters most first, with no wasted effort on noise. Limited resource goes to the risks that genuinely threaten the organisation.
Verified Closure
The included retest round proves vulnerabilities are actually resolved, not just marked as done. You gain documented assurance that each finding has been closed and can withstand renewed testing.
A hardened attack surface, demonstrable to customers, auditors and the board.

Questions, answered
Frequently asked
How long does a typical penetration test take?
Most application engagements run one to three weeks, depending on scope and complexity. Larger or multi-application programmes are staged into phases. You receive daily progress updates throughout, so there are no surprises at report time.
How often should we carry out security testing?
At minimum once a year, and again after any significant change: a major release, a new integration, an infrastructure move or a merger. Regulated or high-risk applications benefit from a more frequent cadence, and we can plan a rolling schedule that keeps coverage current without disrupting delivery.
Will testing disrupt our production systems?
No. Rules of engagement are agreed before we begin, high-risk checks are coordinated with your team, and testing can be staged against pre-production environments or run in out-of-hours windows where preferred.
What do you need from us to get started?
A defined scope of in-scope assets, the access and credentials needed to test them, named points of contact, and any third-party consents such as sign-off from your cloud provider. We walk you through exactly what is required during scoping, so nothing stalls once the engagement begins.
Which testing standards and methodologies do you follow?
Our work aligns to recognised industry frameworks, including the OWASP testing guides for web and mobile applications and established penetration-testing methodologies. Every finding is rated with a consistent severity model based on likelihood and impact, so results map cleanly to the VAPT expectations of regulators and enterprise customers.
How do you keep our data and findings confidential?
Confidentiality is built into the engagement. Work runs under a mutual NDA, and Baknet is certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 9001 at firm level, so evidence, credentials and reports are handled under audited, access-controlled processes. We collect only what a test requires and return or securely dispose of sensitive material on closure.
What do we receive at the end?
A severity-rated report with reproducible evidence for every finding, each framed by its business impact, a remediation walkthrough with your engineers, and one included round of retesting to verify closure.
How is this different from an automated scan?
A scanner flags known signatures; it cannot chain weaknesses, reason about business logic or confirm exploitability. Our practitioners do, and every reported issue is backed by evidence that a real attack path exists.
