If an attacker already had a foothold, how far could they get?
Most security programmes are built to keep attackers out. The harder question is what happens once one is already inside, because a single compromised laptop is a routine event. Whether that stays an incident or becomes a breach depends on what an attacker can reach from that first machine, and that is rarely known until someone tries.
The test starts from an assumed compromise. Working from a domain-joined machine with the credentials of a standard user, we escalate privileges and move laterally using the techniques an adversary would use. We exploit what we find rather than only listing it, repeating the work from each new position gained, because the value lies in what is genuinely reachable rather than what is theoretically possible. Each step is documented so every escalation path can be reproduced and closed, and critical findings are reported to you immediately.
- Written report with a non-technical executive summary
- Technical documentation of each escalation path
- Recommendations tied to specific findings
- Immediate notification of critical findings
- Optional presentation to your organisation
The test starts from an assumed compromise and does not examine how an attacker would obtain initial access, so it is neither a phishing test nor an external penetration test. It is not a full audit: the findings describe what was reachable during the engagement. Remediation is agreed separately.
