Penetration Testing
Pen Testing: Our Most Popular Application Security Service
Penetration testing is a cyber security exercise carried out by certified experts. A pen test will assess, evaluate, and identify security weaknesses by simulating real-world attacks on your software. Our tests identify your software's overall risk level so that you can address any risks, meet regulatory compliance, and assure your end users about the safety of your products or services.
Key Benefits of Winmill Penetration Testing
Why Choose Winmill For Your Penetration Testing Services
Extensive Knowledge & Experience
Our team has extensive experience in application security, cyber security services, and pen testing for external/ internal networks, web applications, application infrastructure, and APIs. We are also experienced in social engineering attacks such as physical security and phishing campaigns. We have performed pen testing for numerous industries including financial services, engineering software, healthcare, telecom, energy, and other industries.
High-Quality Reports
Security testing reports are always peer-reviewed and edited by professional technical writers before delivery, resulting in high-quality pentest reports. In addition to comprehensive technical details, we also provide condensed summaries for executive and senior management.
Valuable, Actionable Insights
Our assessments provide valuable, actionable insights into discovered vulnerabilities, potential attack paths, business impact of breaches, and remediation steps. We always include technical details with enough information to reproduce our findings so that stakeholders can quickly digest actionable information. For every engagement, we offer a complimentary readout call to review our findings.
Industry Certification
Our team members undergo extensive training, participate as industry thought leaders, and have earned industry certifications including GPEN, GWAPT, OSCP, OSCE, CEH, PMP, CISA, CISSP, and more. To stay one step ahead of attackers and help others do the same, each of our team members devotes over 400 hours per year conducting research and contributing to the security community: publishing articles, participating in cybersecurity technology conferences, developing custom security testing tools, and writing new exploit code.
Our Credentials
The Winmill Process
We use the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) as a baseline to customize our penetration testing service to your specific requirements. The seven stages of pen testing as defined by PTES are as follows:
Pre-Engagement Interactions
Intelligence Gathering
Threat Modeling
Vulnerability Analysis
Exploitation
Post-Exploitation
Reporting
Pre-Engagement Interactions
Define project scope, goals, and rules of engagement.
Intelligence Gathering
Perform reconnaissance against a target to gather as much information as possible to be utilized when penetrating the target during the vulnerability assessment and exploitation phases.
Threat Modeling
Analysis of business assets, business processes, threat communities, and threat capabilities to identify the organization’s appetite for risk and prioritization of vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability Analysis
Discover flaws in systems and applications which can be leveraged by an attacker. Flows can range from host and server misconfiguration to insecure application design.
Exploitation
Focus solely on establishing access to a system or resource by bypassing security restrictions. The main focus is to identify the main entry point into the organization and to identify high value asset targets.
Post-Exploitation
Determine the value of the compromised machine and maintain control of the machine for later use. Identify and document sensitive data, configuration settings, communications channels, and relationships with other network devices that can be used to gain further access to the network.
Reporting
We report the findings of the Penetration Test. The intended audience are those in charge of oversight and strategic vision of the security program, as well as any members of the organization who may be impacted by the identified/confirmed threats.

Types of Penetration Tests
External Network Penetration Test
We simulate real-world attacks against your Internet-facing network infrastructure, providing a comprehensive analysis of your Internet footprint, exposure level, and threat surface. We conduct vulnerability analysis, risk analysis, root cause analysis, and provide you with exploitation and verification steps for all findings. We include detailed remediation and mitigation instructions to reduce residual risk to an acceptable level and improve your overall security posture.
Internal Penetration Test
An internal network pen test is performed to help gauge what an attacker could achieve with initial access to a network. We mirror insider threats - employees intentionally or unintentionally performing malicious actions. We look for advanced persistent threats (APT) that have obtained a foothold into your network and are compromising other systems by moving laterally in search of high-value targets such as a Domain Controller in an Active Directory environment.
Web Application Penetration Test
We fingerprint and map your web application, identify entry points, and test for input validation against the most common attacks. We conduct vulnerability scans and eliminate false positives through manual testing. We also use industry-standard methodologies such as OWASP Top 10. The black-box pen test establishes the overall risk level and exploitability of the application, and the OWASP assessment verifies the effectiveness of your security controls.
Mobile Application Penetration Test
It’s estimated that 95% of Android applications contain vulnerabilities, even though more than 70% have already undergone some security testing. This is usually due to a lack of a structured approach to mobile testing. We close this gap by performing static analysis and attempting to reverse-engineer the application; performing dynamic analysis of the comm subsystem; and identifying insecure platform interactions through dynamic analysis of the application’s behavior.
IOT / Device Penetration Test
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects—devices, vehicles, buildings, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity—that enables these objects to collect and exchange data. We enumerate the device’s attack surface, analyze the firmware, verify the security of over-the-air updates, and test the device against the most common attack vectors in the IOT OWASP Top 10.
Cloud Security Testing
We assess your cloud infrastructure against OWASP Cloud Security Top 10 & more. Engagements are tailored to any cloud service provider, environment size, implementation, or hybrid architecture. We test for issues in microservices, in-memory data stores, cloud files, serverless functions, Kubernetes meshes, and containers. We assess the security status of policies, cloud architecture, governance, your ability to manage defenses and react as situations change.
