Simulated attacks by an award-winning penetration testing company
Penetration testing (also known as pen testing or ethical hacking) simulates an attack on your organisation’s computer systems, networks or web applications in order to identify vulnerabilities that a real attacker could potentially exploit.
As an award winning, CREST certified penetration testing company, CQR’s experts think and work like real hackers. We use the latest industry best practices and bespoke in-house tools to test your current security controls to the limits. As well as identifying any vulnerabilities we’ll also advise you on how to address each of them before a real incident occurs.
The benefits of penetration testing services
A penetration test will help you understand how vulnerable your systems and data could be to a hacker. Our clients are often surprised by how easy our experienced team find it to bypass existing security controls and access restricted systems.
With a clearer, independent view of the severity of any vulnerabilities we can then guide you through recommended remedial actions to reduce the likelihood of a potentially costly cyber breach. Other benefits of our penetration testing services include:
- Reassurance that your current security approaches meet relevant compliance standards and regulations such as GDPR, PCI DSS and ISO 27001
- Improve the security and integrity of your information systems
- Minimise the risk of disruption to your day-to-day business
- Avoid the reputational damage caused by a breach
- Identify any misconfigured systems or software
- Demonstrate your commitment to protecting your customer and suppliers data.

Once our highly qualified penetration testing consultants have discovered and exploited any vulnerabilities they will analyse the results and provide you with a comprehensive report detailing the key findings.
The report will include a full evaluation of current security controls and recommendations of how to reduce the risks of each issue identified. We’ll give you all of the information you need, in plain English.
