REAL-WORLD ATTACK SIMULATION

Find Out What an Attacker Would Find, Before They Do.

SmartBase conducts thorough penetration testing that goes beyond automated scans, simulating real attack techniques against your network, applications, and systems.

Scans Find Vulnerabilities, Pen Tests Find Impact

A Scan Finds Vulnerabilities. A Pen Test Finds Out What They Actually Cost You.

Automated vulnerability scans are a starting point, not a complete picture. Penetration testing goes further, using the same techniques a real attacker would, to show how individually minor weaknesses can chain together into a serious breach. Most compliance frameworks, contracts, and insurers expect it annually.

Vulnerability Scan

Flags known vulnerabilities individually

Doesn’t test how weaknesses chain together

Automated, without real attacker technique

A point-in-time snapshot

Penetration Testing

Shows how vulnerabilities chain into real breaches

Uses real attacker techniques, manually

Satisfies compliance and contract requirements

Delivers proof of security posture

What We Test

What Our Penetration Testing Covers

Our testing is manual and expert-led, designed to uncover what automated tools alone would miss.

EXTERNAL

INTERNAL

APPLICATION

REPORT

External Network Testing

What an outside attacker sees first.

Simulated attacks against internet-facing systems identify exploitable entry points into your environment.

Internal Network Testing

What happens after the perimeter is breached.

We assess lateral movement risk and internal exposure once inside your network.

Web Application Testing

Where custom code creates custom risk.

Manual testing of applications uncovers logic flaws and vulnerabilities automated tools miss.

Detailed Findings & Remediation Roadmap

A report that tells you what to fix first.

Prioritized findings come with clear remediation guidance and retesting to confirm fixes hold.

Customer Testimonials

The SmartBase team has been critical to keeping my business safe, as many of my clients require sophisticated compliance protocols and plans. They are extremely responsive, helping me answer my clients’ questions quickly to ensure compliance with their standards. They’re absolutely great to work with.

Emily B., Founder and CEO

Smartbase Solutions provided my business the ability to focus on what we do best without having to worry about infrastructure performance or availability. Our business needs have been very dynamic, and at some times unpredictable, and Smartbase has been extremely responsive in either scaling up existing servers, bringing new hardware online or problem solving with my team to support our immediate needs. I also appreciate how the Smartbase team has collaborated with my business to help build new capabilities and to knock down barriers. The Smartbase team is professional, courteous, and just generally an easy team with whom to partner.
