Why do I need a Pen Test?

Today, breaches are happening all the time.  Be it the famous Target breach back in 2013 or the recent Equifax breach in 2017 that affected half of the country, security breaches are more prevalent than ever before.  Securing your company is no longer at the bottom of the list during a board meeting, it’s needed more now than it was just 3 years ago.

You may say to yourself “I won’t get hacked, why would they even come after to me?”.  This is said a lot in the business world, but, as more and more breaches happen, smaller companies are finding they are a target and need to act.  But let’s look at the Target breach.  Target was not the first initial “target” for the hack.  It was the small company that installed the HVAC system.  Hackers were able to breach their network and then gain access to Target through their network because they monitored the system for Target.  You may have something valuable that a hacker wants, and you just don’t realize it.

This is where a penetration test will benefit you and your security posture.  If it’s either testing your web site for exploitable breaches that would allow a hacker to steal client credentials, confirming network servers and computers are patched and protected or making sure your staff is trained in the latest phishing and social engineering ploys.  Having a penetration test will give you and your owners a peace of mind knowing you went the extra mile for your security.

The staff at It’s Just Result’s know security and we can help provide that piece of mind you need to rely on.  We are constantly updating our knowledge of the new techniques hackers are using in the real world along with using penetration testing frameworks such as OWASP and NIST 800-115 to make sure we leave no stone un turned.  

Our tests include intelligence gathering of your company, vulnerability analysis, exploitation and post exploitation.  We won’t supply you with an automated scan of vulnerabilities and say this is what you need to fix, we act on the vulnerabilities and exploit them along with other manual means that could be missed with an automatic scan.  Not sure how to fix the vulnerabilities or exploits we find?  No worries, we will give full recommendations on how to mitigate these issues and offer another test to make sure our recommendations have been implemented and are working.

We offer Pre-engagement interactions that allows us to sit down with you one on one and discuss exactly what you need in a penetration test, either it be for PCI compliance or just letting your clients know you are secure.  

Don’t get behind in your security, let us provide you a means to show you either how well you are doing in your security practices or showing what you need to improve on.  Either way we win, and the hackers will lose.

It's Just Results is a leading provider of cyber security services

In a digital world where cyber threats lurk at every corner, securing your organization isn’t just important—it’s critical. The stakes? Unfathomably high. If you’re a business, nonprofit, or government entity with limited cybersecurity resources, the road to safeguarding your systems and staying compliant can seem endless and treacherous. But it doesn’t have to be. Continue reading as our cybersecurity experts at It’s Just Results explain how our services make an impact.

Cybersecurity Assessments: The Starting Line

Every cybersecurity journey begins with a question: Where do we stand? Without a clear understanding of your current security posture, navigating the maze of potential threats and compliance requirements is impossible. Our comprehensive cybersecurity assessments dig deep—scanning, probing, and analyzing. We don’t just look at the surface; we dive into the core of your systems, exposing vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could be exploited.

Risk Analysis and Mitigation: Navigating the Threat Landscape

In the world of cybersecurity, risk is a constant. But how do you prioritize what matters most? Our risk analysis and mitigation services are designed to identify not just the obvious threats, but the hidden ones—the risks that, left unchecked, could grow into major security incidents. We don’t just tell you what’s wrong; we show you how to fix it. Every recommendation is crafted with your specific environment in mind, ensuring that you’re not just protected today, but also prepared for whatever tomorrow might bring.

Incident Response: When Every Second Counts

A cyberattack can strike without warning, turning a regular day into a nightmare. Our incident response team is your rapid-response unit, ready to spring into action at a moment’s notice. We don’t just contain the breach; we hunt it down, neutralize it, and ensure it doesn’t come back. We focus on swift recovery, minimizing downtime, and keeping your operations running smoothly—even in the face of an ongoing threat.

Penetration Testing: Think Like a Hacker

To outsmart a hacker, you need to think like one. That’s the philosophy behind our penetration testing services. We simulate real-world attacks, probing your defenses just as a malicious actor would. But this isn’t just about identifying weaknesses—it’s about understanding how your systems would hold up under pressure. The result? A fortified security posture that stands strong against even the most sophisticated attacks.

Compliance Support: Navigating Regulatory Waters

Regulations are constantly shifting, evolving as new threats emerge. Staying compliant isn’t just about ticking boxes; it’s about ensuring that your organization meets all necessary requirements while maintaining operational efficiency. From Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations to industry-specific mandates, our compliance support services guide you through the complex regulatory landscape.

Gamification and Training: Building a Security-First Culture

Technology can only take you so far. True security requires a culture of awareness—a workforce that’s vigilant, informed, and proactive. Our gamification, phishing campaigns, and security awareness training programs turn learning into an engaging experience. We don’t just educate; we transform your team into your first line of defense.

Seamless Integration, Measurable Results

Security doesn’t have to mean disruption. Our services integrate smoothly with your existing systems, ensuring minimal operational hiccups. We work closely with your team—or step in as your team—implementing measures that are effective, efficient, and unobtrusive. And because we believe in transparency, we provide regular updates, reports, and metrics, so you’re never left wondering if your investment is paying off. Spoiler alert: it is.
