Penetration Testing
Identifies your vulnerabilities before bad actors exploit them.
ready for a Real-world attack simulation?
When our team penetration tests an organization, we explore all potential points of entry. Why? Because that’s exactly how cyber threat actors approach an attack. Your network, applications, and devices will all be put to the test to uncover weak spots in your cybersecurity wall of defense. We then share the results along with a comprehensive list of expert recommendations, prioritizing the gaps that need the most immediate attention first.
Our end game isn’t to make you compliant.
It’s to make you secure.
The result of being secure is compliance with any framework or contractual requirement. We understand every organization is unique and has certain security standards it needs to satisfy to continue operations or relationships. This is why there isn’t a one-size-fits-all testing engagement. We consider the requirements when tailoring a penetration test to fit an organization’s needs, but in the end, we’re laser-focused on vulnerability identification and remediation. And there’s no one in the industry better at this than Assura.

How we've helped protect industries like yours.
A university approached Assura with a unique challenge that most other organizations don’t have. Because they employ students to help run various aspects of the school, they needed a way to ensure these work-study employees didn’t accidentally put the university’s data at risk.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) challenged the Commonwealth of Virginia with helping to secure elections and making government localities cyber secure. Assura was approached by nearly a dozen together needing to overcome the same challenge in the same timeframe, yet each with its unique path to reaching success.
A U.S. government contractor tapped a global company that specialized in workforce mobilization and staffing to create and staff a call center. Typically, this would not have been a significant challenge. However, this happened at the peak of the COVID-19 global pandemic, which meant the data center needed to be 100% remote while still being 100% compliant with Federal cybersecurity regulations — seemingly incompatible requirements. Assura had the solution.
