What is a Penetration Test?
Authorized Simulated Invasion on Your Web Application and Business Software
Penetration Testing or also known as Ethical Hacking, White-hat hacking, or Pen test, is an authorized simulated invasion or cyber-attack on your web application and business software. The goal is to identify security vulnerabilities or loopholes that can be remediated by developers before an attacker can exploit them.
Insights obtained from the test will be used to strengthen and prioritize related remediation options.
The Importance of Penetration Testing
Penetration Testing is a Necessity for Modern Day Security
It’s simply finding application vulnerabilities or weaknesses before someone else does. Attackers could use these loopholes to exploit your software application to steal confidential company data and your customer personally identifiable information.
Benefits of Penetration Testing

Types of Penetration Tests
Penetration Testing to Secure Every Platform
Our extensive experience in mobile application pen testing covers the seven OSI Layers.
OWASP Mobile Security has been incorporated into our testing methods, making full use of both manual security testing and automated technology to identify security flaws based on each unique mobile application.
Our tests include
- Android Mobile Application
- IOS Mobile Application
Grace’s tests web applications from a security assessment perspective, evaluating the security of your web applications. This is essential for web apps that contain
- highly confidential information
- performs functions such as processing online transactions (eCommerce)
- hosting online banking systems
- online education portals
- Logistics information
Our certified OSCP pentester focused on identifying the vulnerabilities in a system and network by using both automated and manual penetration methodology.
With network pen testing we
- Identify the weakness in the network
- Identify zero day or existing vulnerability based on CVE
We perform external and internal penetration testing techniques to examine the external posture of an organisation on a system that is hosted on a Cloud service provider.
Our tests include
- SaaS Security testing
- Enumeration of external attack surface
- check Authentication and Authorization Testing
- check Virtual Machines / EC2
- check Storage and Databases
Methodology
Our Penetration Testing Methodology
We will map out the systems to be addressed and the testing methods to be used. We will also have to align with the client to understand how much information the testers have access to or that can be found about the targeted system.
We perform multiple types of inspections to find a way into the targeted system.
Static analysis is to inspect an application’s code to estimate the way it behaves while running.
Or dynamic analysis that provides a real-time view into the performance of an application.
We will utilise penetration testing software or attacks such as SQL injection, backdoors, Security Misconfiguration to gain access to the system. Testers will then test out what type of damage they can inflict such as stealing data or interrupting traffic.
We will then try to see if we can achieve persistent exploitation. That means to imitate attacks that stay in a system for months without being dealt with collecting data.
Detailed reports will be made containing information on vulnerabilities discovered, sensitive data obtained and the time our white-hat hacker was in the system before being discovered.
The report will be used and analysed to aid security personnel in developing necessary WAF settings and security solutions.
We take the necessary steps to seal any weaknesses we expose. All artefacts used in the test are removed to prevent them from being taken advantage of in the occurrence of a real attack.

FAQ’S
There is an uncountable amount of cyber threats out there and new ones are being coded or created on a daily. Forbes reported 2020 saw a rise in cybercrime and by 2025 it will cost the world $10.5 trillion annually.
Penetration Testing in USA & India is essential for businesses that are associated with banks. Through our experience, we know that they will not allow untested systems to be integrated with their systems. Also, it is a best practice to do Penetration Testing in Malaysia frequently to keep your system at a heightened state of security as a preventive method to ensure you and your consumers are safe from cyber-attacks.
Doing a pen test as a routine will not be sufficient in improving your application, software, and website’s safety. Because after the problems are found it is proof that further precautions need to be taken to better the security stance the system has. You may speak to us to have our developers work with our certified penetration testers to strengthen the vulnerabilities exposed.
Most define security testing as identifying network and system weaknesses and then finding ways to rectify them. Penetration testing is used to simulate a cyber attack from a hacker, it takes it to another level by attempting multiple methods to attack a system, looking at how the penetration occurs and then what type of damage can be inflicted. Truly exposing just how vulnerable a system can be.
There are multiple types of Pen Tests. Some of us might be tempted to just ask to test “everything”, this might just scratch the surface as testers cannot go deep into each area. Do not be turned away by the complexity of it as our experts are here to guide you and make this process as easy for you as possible. Our team would love to speak to you about Penetration Testing.
