What is Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing, also known as ethical hacking, is a simulated cyber attack against your computer system to check for exploitable vulnerabilities. This proactive approach helps in identifying and addressing potential security weaknesses before malicious hackers can exploit them.

By thinking like an attacker, Rosca’s certified professionals help you understand your security posture, fix hidden flaws, and prove your resilience to boards, investors, and customers.

What Are the Benefits of Penetration Testing Services?

Penetration testing isn’t just about ticking compliance boxes—it’s about strengthening your business. Here’s how Rosca’s testing delivers value beyond the report:

Prevent Real-World Attacks

By simulating how real hackers might target your business, we help uncover the flaws that automated scanners and internal reviews often miss. Fixing these before a breach saves you time, money, and reputation.

Stay Compliant with Standards

Whether it’s ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI DSS, or SOC 2, regular penetration testing is often a required part of cybersecurity compliance. Our reports are tailored to meet these requirements and support your audit process.

Validate Internal Security Measures

Even the best internal teams can miss things. Our external perspective helps test the effectiveness of your team’s security controls, policies, and patch management—offering reassurance or revealing gaps.

Support Investment, Sales & Insurance

A clean pen test report can boost investor confidence, satisfy client due diligence, and reduce your cyber insurance premiums. For SaaS businesses especially, this is often a critical part of winning funding or landing enterprise contracts.

Protect Your Brand & Reputation

One data breach can shatter customer trust. Penetration testing helps prevent the kind of high-profile failures that lead to fines, lawsuits, and lost business.

What Industries and Businesses Can Penetration Testing Be Used For?

Penetration testing is essential for any organisation that handles sensitive data, builds software, or needs to earn trust. At Rosca, we’ve worked across:

SaaS Companies & Startups

Investors are increasingly demanding evidence of strong security before providing funding. Penetration testing demonstrates due diligence, strengthens investor decks, and uncovers risks before scale makes them more dangerous.

Universities & Educational Institutions

With huge volumes of personal and research data, universities are high-value targets. Pen testing helps maintain security across complex, multi-user systems and protects institutional reputation.

Banks & Financial Services

Financial institutions face relentless pressure from regulators and attackers alike. Penetration testing ensures customer data is protected, compliance standards are met, and operational risks are reduced.

Councils & Public Sector Bodies

Councils manage critical infrastructure and community data—making them attractive targets. Regular testing helps meet public sector security standards and keep services running securely.

No matter your sector, if your business connects to the internet, you’re at risk. Penetration testing is your first line of proactive defence.

Our Penetration Testing Services

Network Penetration Testing

With network penetration testing, we can identify potential vulnerabilities and other security risks within your organisation’s network. We use multiple different types of tools and techniques including the following:

  • Internal Network Testing – simulated attacks to identify potential security vulnerabilities in the internal network using industry-standard methodology
  • External Network Testing – simulated attacks from an outside network, carried out remotely
  • Wireless Network Testing – simulated attacks to the wireless networks to maintain secure software code development throughout its lifecycle

Cloud Penetration Testing

Cloud penetration testing is used to assess the strengths and weaknesses of your organisation’s overall cloud system, helping your organisation improve its overall security posture. Through the following tests, we can identify risks, vulnerabilities and gaps:

  • AWS Security Testing
  • Azure Security Testing
  • Google Cloud Security Testing

Application Penetration Testing

We use application penetration testing to check that all levels of application are secured including the following tests:

  • Web Application Testing – we identify security vulnerabilities stemming from insecure development practices at the design, coding and publishing levels of a software or website
  • Mobile Application Testing – we reveal vulnerabilities in the cybersecurity posture of a mobile application to assess the safety and security of iOS and Android applications

Social Engineering Testing

Using social engineering penetrating tests, we can assess how your staff respond when faced with cyber-attacks highlighting weaknesses and gaps in training. We use the following methods:

  • Phishing Simulations
  • Pretexting and Baiting
  • Security Awareness Training

FAQs

How Often Should Penetration Testing Be Performed?

Experts recommend carrying out penetration testing at least once a year. This ensures that your organisation is keeping up with emerging cyber risks and newly discovered threats.

Is Pen Testing Different to Red and Blue Teaming?

Yes. Penetration testing focuses on discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities in a defined scope. Red teaming simulates advanced, persistent attacks to test your detection and response. Blue teaming defends against those attacks. We can support all of these approaches as needed.

Will Testing Interrupt My Business Operations?

No. Our tests are designed to be safe and non-disruptive. We follow best practices to avoid impacting your day-to-day operations while still providing a realistic assessment.

How Do You Ensure Minimal Disruption To Our Operations During Testing?

We take various measures to ensure minimal disruption to your company operations during testing including:

  • Thorough pre-testing
  • Defined scope and objectives
  • Targeted testing techniques
  • Scheduled and coordinated test
  • Dedicated test environments
