What is penetration testing?

Penetration testing is the controlled, simulated attack of a real adversary against your applications, cloud, network, identity, and people — performed by certified offensive engineers to find exploitable weaknesses before someone with worse intent does. Every Certbar engagement ends with two artefacts: a board-ready brief in business language and a technical report mapped to OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK, and the compliance framework you actually report against.

Why enterprises pick Certbar for offensive security

  • OSCP, OSCE, and CRTO-certified offensive engineers — no juniors-only teams, no outsourcing.

  • Trusted by enterprises across India, the US, the EU and SEA — including PayPal, IBM, Kia, Paytm, Meesho, Zapier, Semrush, Opera, and Dhiwise.

  • Draft report in 5–7 business days for standard scope; same OSCP-led team, 40–60% lower TCO than US/UK pure-plays.

  • MITRE ATT&CK-mapped findings, retest included in scope, no surprise change-orders.

  • ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27701, SOC 2 aligned, CERT-In Empanelled — your audit evidence package is ready when the report ships.

Methodology

Six steps from scoping to sign-off

  1. 01

    Scoping & Threat Model

    We document assets, user roles, abuse cases, data classifications, and the framework you report against. Output: signed SoW, no surprise change-orders.

  2. 02

    Reconnaissance & Mapping

    Attack-surface enumeration: subdomains, services, exposed endpoints, third-party integrations, leaked credentials, OSINT.

  3. 03

    Vulnerability Discovery

    Hybrid automated + manual probing across OWASP / MASVS / API Top 10 / MITRE ATT&CK. Findings triaged for false positives before exploitation.

  4. 04

    Exploitation & Lateral Movement

    Hands-on exploitation by OSCP-led engineers. Chain weaknesses to demonstrate the business impact a real attacker would achieve.

  5. 05

    Reporting & Board Brief

    Two artefacts: a board-ready brief in business language and a technical report mapped to OWASP, CWE, MITRE ATT&CK + your compliance framework.

  6. 06

    Retest & Sign-off

    One free retest included. Updated report reflecting closed findings, signed off by the testing lead.

Compliance

  • HIPAA

    Security Rule §164.308(a)(8) evaluation evidence with PHI-handling narrative.

  • GDPR / DPDPA

    Personal data exposure findings, retention / minimisation risks, DPIA-supporting evidence.

FAQs

Questions buyers ask before signing

Vulnerability assessment finds known weaknesses at scale (mostly automated scanning + verification). Penetration testing is hands-on exploitation by a certified offensive engineer to prove which weaknesses an attacker would actually weaponise against your business. Certbar bundles both into every VAPT engagement.
