Penetration testing in Birmingham
CREST penetration testing, Birmingham based.
Independent, CREST-accredited penetration testing from our Birmingham headquarters: web applications, APIs, mobile apps, cloud, wireless and infrastructure, with clear findings and practical remediation guidance.
Why test
Find the gaps before attackers do.
A penetration test is a controlled, authorised attack on your systems by ethical hackers. It shows which weaknesses can really be exploited, how far an attacker could get, and what to fix first, which an automated scan alone can’t tell you.
Every test is scoped to your environment and your risks. We agree the rules of engagement with you, test during or outside working hours to avoid disruption, and give you a report your technical team and your board can both act on.

It depends on scope: for a web application, the number of pages, inputs and user roles; for infrastructure, the number of hosts. Answer the scoping questions in AskQ’s Scope Builder and we’ll send a tailored proposal.
