Cyber threats are getting smarter and faster. For organisations in Hoofddorp, Amsterdam and beyond, a pentest is no longer a luxury — it’s a practical security measure. With a targeted pentest, you discover vulnerabilities before attackers do.
What exactly is a pentest?
A pentest (penetration test) is a simulated attack on your systems, applications or network. The goal is simple: show where real risks lie and how to fix them. You don’t get a vague report — you get concrete findings with priority and advice.
Which pentest fits your organisation?
1) Web application pentest
For websites, portals and custom applications. Think vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, weak authentication and authorization issues.
2) API pentest
For REST/GraphQL APIs, mobile backends and integrations. We test for broken access control, token abuse and business logic flaws, among other things.
3) External pentest
Focused on what’s visible from the internet: IPs, services, mail, VPN and perimeter equipment. Ideal for assessing your digital outer wall.
4) Internal infrastructure pentest
What happens if someone is already inside? Internal pentests reveal risks such as lateral movement, privilege escalation and segmentation flaws.
5) Remote pentest
For organisations with hybrid or international teams. Testing can be carried out safely and efficiently remote, with clear coordination and reporting.
Why pentest periodically?
- Faster risk reduction: you tackle the most critical issues first.
- Lower chance of incidents: you stay ahead of attackers.
- Compliance and assurance: support for audits, clients and partners.
- More trust: you demonstrably show security is taken seriously.
