What is Penetration Testing (Pentest)?
Penetration testing (also called pentesting or ethical hacking) is a proactive cybersecurity practice where security experts simulate real-world attacks on your systems to identify and exploit vulnerabilities before malicious hackers can.
At Reconix, our pentest engagements go beyond automated scanning. Our certified ethical hackers use the same techniques as real attackers but in a controlled, safe environment to find security weaknesses in your applications, networks, and infrastructure.
Our comprehensive penetration testing services help organizations identify critical vulnerabilities, validate security controls, meet compliance requirements, and strengthen their overall security posture through expert pentesting.

- Validate the effectiveness of your security controls
- Meet regulatory compliance requirements (ISO 27001, PCI DSS, etc.)

Reconix Penetration Testing Framework
Our comprehensive pentesting methodology ensures thorough security assessment and actionable results
Planning Phase
Defining the pentest scope and making necessary preparations to prevent testing issues by conducting a project kickoff, scoping, readiness test, and understanding activities.
Initial Testing Phase
Discover vulnerabilities in the targets via a combination of automated and manual penetration testing techniques, and creating a comprehensive test result report, using industry-accepted methodological standards.
Consulting Phase
Offering expert guidance to assist developers or system owners in fixing or mitigating all vulnerabilities found during pentesting, while keeping a bug tracker to track the findings' status and determining a revisit date for future assessments.
Revisit Testing Phase
Conduct a follow-up penetration test to revisit the previous findings and confirm if they have been successfully remediated. Finalized findings' statuses and findings' fix evidence will then be prepared to share with the system owner.
Documenting Phase
Providing a comprehensive pentest report that describes the entire penetration testing process, including complete details on the overall risks of the in-scope target, how each vulnerability was resolved, and the remaining risks.
