What we offer

complete penetration testing.

From scoping to testing to remediation support, we handle every part of your security assessment.

External infrastructure

Testing of your internet-facing systems — firewalls, VPNs, mail and web servers — for exploitable weaknesses.

Internal network

Simulating an attacker already inside, to see how far a breach could spread across your network.

Web application

OWASP-based testing of your websites and portals for injection, authentication and logic flaws.

Phishing & social

Simulated phishing and social-engineering campaigns that test your people, not just your tech.

Wireless & physical

Testing wi-fi security and, where in scope, physical access to sensitive areas.

Clear reporting

Every finding rated by risk, with plain-English impact and step-by-step remediation — not just a scanner dump.

Our approach

more than a vulnerability scan.

Automated scans miss the things that matter — chained exploits, business-logic flaws and human error. Our testers think like attackers and find what tools can’t.

✓ Testing by experienced, certified security testers
✓ External, internal, web and social engineering coverage
✓ Every finding rated and prioritised by risk
✓ A plain-English report with step-by-step fixes

Why it matters

proof, not guesswork.

You can’t fix what you can’t see. A proper test shows you exactly where you stand. Get it right and you get:

Peace of mind

proof your defences actually hold.

A clear, real-world picture of where you actually stand
Evidence to satisfy clients, insurers and auditors
Every finding rated and prioritised by risk
Confidence your defences hold up against real attacks
New weaknesses caught before attackers find them

Common questions

questions we get a lot.

How often should we get a penetration test?

At least once a year is the sweet spot for most businesses — and it’s what we recommend. Your systems, your people and the threats facing them all change over the course of a year, so an annual test keeps your picture current. It’s also what many insurers, clients and compliance standards expect to see. On top of that, it’s worth testing after any major change — a new system, an office move, a big migration or significant growth.

What’s the difference between a penetration test and a vulnerability scan?

A vulnerability scan is an automated tool that lists known weaknesses. A penetration test goes much further: experienced, certified testers think like real attackers — chaining exploits, probing business-logic flaws and taking advantage of human error to show what could genuinely be reached. Tools find the obvious; people find what actually matters.

Will testing disrupt our systems or cause downtime?

It can — though it’s very rare. Because a real penetration test uses genuine, live attack techniques rather than a passive scan, there’s always a small chance of disruption. We keep that risk to a minimum: every test is carefully scoped and scheduled with you up front, with agreed rules of engagement, and where needed we can run sensitive testing out of hours. So while we can’t promise zero impact, real problems are very uncommon.

What types of testing do you cover?

External, internal, web application and social engineering — on their own or combined. We’ll scope the right coverage for your business and for whatever you’re trying to prove, whether that’s a compliance requirement, a client questionnaire or simple peace of mind.

What do we actually get at the end?

A plain-English report you can act on — every finding rated and prioritised by risk, with clear, step-by-step fixes. And once you’ve remediated, we re-test the issues free of charge so you can prove they’re closed.

Do we need this for compliance or insurance?

Often, yes. Penetration testing is increasingly required — or strongly expected — by cyber insurers, larger clients and standards like ISO 27001. A proper test gives you the evidence to satisfy them, and the confidence that your defences actually hold.

Do we need to be a client?

No. You don’t have to be a Snap IT client to book a penetration test — we’re happy to test your systems as an independent, impartial party. In fact, having a fresh set of eyes that didn’t build or manage your setup is often exactly what makes the results so valuable.
