See What Our Clients Are Saying

Our clients consistently share that our collaborative partnership and transparent communication help them build stronger security programs.

HAVEN6 has become our go-to partner for serious cloud security and penetration testing.

They’ve helped our clients harden AWS and Azure configurations, identify risky misconfigurations, and validate issues through focused penetration testing on networks, web apps, and APIs.

We have enjoyed working with HAVEN6. They were able to help us on some long-term agreements for pen testing.

Their personnel and management are easy to work with.

We look forward to our next project with them!

What Requires Penetration Testing Services?

Penetration testing is no longer just for Fortune 500 companies. It is a critical requirement for any organization handling data. You typically need our services if:

Compliance & Regulation

You must meet strict mandates for PCI DSS (Req 11.3), SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST, or CMMC.

New Product Launch

You are releasing a new mobile app, SaaS platform, or major feature update and need to ensure it is secure by design.

Ransomware Defense

You want to proactively identify the open doors (like RDP or Phishing) that ransomware gangs use to enter networks.

Enterprise Clients

Your enterprise clients require a clean penetration test report before they will sign a contract or buy your software.

Mergers & Acquisitions

You are acquiring a company and need to assess their Technical Security Debt before closing the deal.

Our Penetration Testing Services

Deep dive into our service offerings and explore the types of penetration testing we deliver for our clients.

Test Type	Description
Compliance Testing	Validates security controls to satisfy regulatory mandates and audit requirements for SOC2, PCI, HIPAA, HITRUST, NIST, and ISO27001.
Cloud Pen Testing	Secures AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes environments by identifying vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
Web Application Testing	OWASP Top 10 + custom attack logic — injection, auth flaws, business logic abuse
Mobile Application Testing	Assessing iOS and Android apps to identify vulnerabilities within the binary, device, or backend APIs.
API Security Testing	Deep dive into REST, SOAP, GraphQL APIs for broken auth, data leakage, and more
External Network Pen Testing	Simulates attacks from the outside — firewalls, web servers, cloud environments
Internal Network Pen Testing	Simulates an insider threat or breach scenario — lateral movement, privilege escalation
Wireless Network Testing	Test WPA2/WPA3 security, rogue APs, and unauthorized device access
IoT Device Testing	Evaluatetes devices by identifying vulnerabilities within the hardware/firmware/radio protocol layers.
SCADA Systems Testing	Secures critical infrastructure by assessing the ICS/OT vulnerabilities through advanced Industrial fuzzing and RF analysis.
AI / Machine Learning Testing	Exploits machine learning models through injection, model tampering, and manipulation.

What Our Pentesting Service Includes

We adhere to the PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard) to ensure a thorough and safe engagement.

Reconnaissance

Gathering intelligence (OSINT) on your organization and employees, just like a real hacker would.

Vulnerability Analysis

Combining automated scanning with manual verification to map your attack surface and determine weaknesses.

Active Exploitation

The core of the service. We manually attempt to exploit bugs to gain access and prove the risk is legitimate.

Post-Exploitation

Determining the value of the compromise. Can we move laterally? Can we access the CEO’s email?

Reporting & Debrief

Documenting the findings and meeting with your team to explain where changes can be made to improve security.

Penetration Testing Service Deliverables

Although deliverables will vary by type of Pen Test, we provide reports that speak to three main audiences: Executives, Engineers, and Auditors.

Executive Summary

A one-page, jargon-free scorecard that translates every critical vulnerability into plain business language: real-world impact, dollar exposure, likelihood of exploit, and who could weaponize it tomorrow. Designed to be handed directly to the Board, C-suite, investors, or enterprise customers.

Technical Findings Report

A file engineers actually want to read: every vulnerability laid out in pin-point reproducible detail. Includes narrative walkthrough, request/response packets, screenshots, PoC exploit code, exact CVSS v3.1/v4 breakdown, risk rating, likelihood of active exploitation, copy-paste remediation, and more.

Clean Retest Report

Once your team has applied the necessary fixes, we conduct rigorous re-testing to verify that the vulnerabilities are truly closed. Upon successful validation, we issue a clean report and a formal Attestation Letter. Proof of Security for auditors, insurance providers, and enterprise partners.

Penetration Testing: FAQs

Learn more information about the most frequently asked questions.

What is Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing (also called pen testing) is a simulated cyberattack on your network, applications, or infrastructure — conducted by professional ethical hackers. The goal is simple: find weaknesses before criminals do.

But not all pen tests are equal. We don’t just run scripts and send you a report. We:

Think like attackers
Exploit weaknesses in real-world conditions
Deliver clear, actionable results your team can fix

Who needs Penetration Testing?

Any organization that handles sensitive data, relies on digital infrastructure, or must meet compliance requirements.

Pen testing is mission-critical for:

CISOs and security teams looking for real insight into risk exposure
Tech startups and SaaS companies before product launch or audits
Financial & fintech orgs maintaining ISO27001, PCI DSS, or SOC 2 compliance
Artificial Intelligence orgs looking to secure and maintain ISO42001
Enterprises preparing for mergers, certifications, or audits
Managed service providers (MSPs) protecting client environments

Penetration Testing vs. Vulnerability Scanning?

Vulnerability scanning is an automated, broad sweep that tells you “here are 10,000 things that might be broken.”

It’s faster, cheaper, and required monthly or quarterly for compliance, but it’s also noisy, full of false positives, and stops at the surface.

Penetration testing is a human-led, attacker-simulated war against your environment.

We take the critical vulnerabilities the scanner found (and hundreds it missed), chain them together with logic flaws, misconfigurations, and zero-days, and prove step by step how a real attacker walks from a forgotten S3 bucket or phishing link to domain admin, ransomware deployment, or full data exfiltration.

Think of it this way:

Scanner = smoke detector (it beeps when something smells wrong)
Pentest = fire marshal who kicks down doors, lights matches, and proves whether your building actually burns

How much does a Penetration Test cost?

Pricing is based on the size and complexity of the target (e.g., number of IP addresses, number of User Roles in an app). We can provide a fixed-fee quote after a brief 15-minute scoping call.

How often should we do a Pen Test?

Best practice is annually, after major updates, or before audits. Some regulations (like PCI DSS) require it at least once a year.

How long does a Penetration Test take?

From scoping to final report, most tests take 1–4 weeks depending on scope and complexity.

Will testing disrupt my systems?

We use non-disruptive techniques unless otherwise agreed. All activities are scoped and documented.

Do you offer free retesting afterwards?

Yes. We include free retesting.

Can I use this service for compliance?

Yes. Our reports meet the requirements for PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, HITRUST, NIST, ISO 27001, and other frameworks.
