Penetration Testing Services

We move clients beyond tick-box compliance with tailored penetration testing that delivers real business value.

In today’s digital-first world, cyber threats evolve faster than most defences can keep up. Penetration testing – simulating real-world attacks on your systems – gives you clear visibility into where you’re vulnerable and what an attacker could realistically achieve.

It’s more than a security check. It’s a proactive tool to:

Build operational resilience
Protect sensitive data
Demonstrate compliance with PCI DSS, ISO 27001, GDPR and other regulations

How AJC can help

Our expert consultants combine manual testing techniques with industry-recognised methodologies to identify real, exploitable weaknesses – not just scan results.

With experience across healthcare, financial services, manufacturing and more, we ensure every engagement reflects your unique risk environment.

Most of our tests run from a few days to a few weeks depending on the scope and complexity.

We support clients by:

Simulating real-world attacks on web apps, cloud infrastructure, internal networks and staff
Identifying misconfigurations, unpatched vulnerabilities and weak credentials
Delivering prioritised, actionable reports based on risk and exploitability
Validating fixes through re-testing and improving ongoing resilience
Using trusted standards like PTES, OWASP and CREST for rigorous, repeatable testing

Independent testing of networks, apps, cloud and users

We conduct ethical hacking engagements that mirror genuine attack paths, uncovering critical weaknesses in your internal systems, customer-facing platforms and employee attack surface – before someone else does.

End-to-end cyber and operational resilience assessments

From initial scoping to re-testing, our work reflects real-world pressures. We help you prepare for incidents, demonstrate maturity to stakeholders, and implement achievable improvements.

Gap analysis for PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR

We benchmark your systems against relevant frameworks to align your testing with compliance needs, especially ahead of audits or external reviews.

Executive reports with risk-based remediation plans

We translate technical findings into board-ready insights, with prioritised action plans tailored to your risk profile. Post-test briefings and ongoing advisory support are also available.
