Penetration Testing

Penetration Software Testing

Cyber threats are constantly evolving. To stay ahead, your business needs more than basic protection, it needs insight. Arc offers in-depth penetration software testing to help uncover hidden vulnerabilities in your software, systems and infrastructure before they can be exploited.

What is penetration testing?

Penetration software testing (or “pen testing”) is a controlled simulation of a cyberattack. It helps evaluate how secure your systems and applications are by identifying vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.

Our testing is designed to:

  • Identify security flaws in web applications, APIs, networks and cloud platforms
  • Assess your ability to detect and respond to cyber incidents
  • Help meet compliance requirements such as ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus and GDPR
  • Deliver clear recommendations for reducing risk and improving resilience

All testing is conducted safely, with no disruption to your day-to-day operations.
