Team working on Pen testing

Most companies still treat security as a one-off annual pen test giving them a false sense of safety. We’ve built GoDefend to change that.

OUR PEN TESTING SERVICES

The right approach depends on your specific goals, whether you're working to meet compliance requirements, secure a new product, or strengthen your overall cybersecurity posture.

Web Application Testing
We simulate attacks on your website or web apps to uncover vulnerabilities in logins, forms, permissions and the logic that holds your platform together. This helps protect user data and ensures your service stays reliable and secure.
External Infrastructure Testing
Your internet-facing systems - servers, firewalls, and public IPs - are constantly targeted by automated attacks. We test these entry points from the outside, looking for misconfigurations, outdated services, and open doors that could be exploited by hackers.
Internal Infrastructure Testing
If an attacker were to get inside your network -  through phishing, a rogue device, or employee error - what could they access? We simulate that scenario, uncovering internal risks like weak access controls, unpatched systems, or poor network segmentation.
Mobile Application Testing
Mobile apps can expose your business if they don’t handle data securely. We test your iOS or Android apps for vulnerabilities in storage, authentication, data transfer, and permissions - ensuring it’s secure for both your users and your infrastructure.
Cloud Testing
Misconfigured cloud platforms are one of the most common causes of breaches. We review your setup on services like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud to identify risks like exposed storage, overly broad access permissions, and weak security controls - so your cloud works for you, not against you.
M365 & Google Workspace Testing  
Misconfigured M365 or Google Workspace environments are a common source of data leaks and account breaches. We audit your setup to uncover risks like excessive file sharing, weak access controls, and insecure email settings – helping ensure your productivity tools support your business securely.

Talk to us

“I’ve been thoroughly impressed with GoDefends work throughout this complex project. Navigating the breadth and depth of security is a continual challenge for any organisation, but the way they organised and managed our penetration testing, including security control assessments and evidence gathering across three separate delivery teams, is a true exemplar of best practice in cyber security.”
