From a single test to a fully managed continuous testing programme, our services combine AI-assisted automation with qualified consultant validation.
Every engagement is human-led, delivered through the Mirage Portal and scoped around the systems, regulations and threat model that matter to you.
Discover, monitor and reduce your internet-facing exposure before an attacker maps it first.
Human-led testing to uncover vulnerabilities across networks, applications, cloud and infrastructure.
Objective-based adversary simulation that tests detection, response and real-world resilience.
Assessments and readiness support to meet UK compliance and regulatory standards.
Continuous AI-assisted testing combined with human validation, so you get speed without sacrificing accuracy.
We embed AI-assisted automation across Pentesys services to speed up testing and make continuous security assurance more affordable — without sacrificing the human validation that makes findings trustworthy.
From attack surface discovery to vulnerability scanning and report drafting, AI acceleration is included in every engagement — not an add-on.
Automated assessment runs continuously across your external surface, networks, applications and APIs, so coverage keeps pace with releases.
Qualified consultants review, triage and confirm every AI-generated result before it reaches you, so you only act on real risk.
By automating repetitive reconnaissance and scanning work, we keep consultant time focused where it matters — giving you continuous assurance at a sustainable cost.
Surface finds what you're exposing, Validate proves what's exploitable, Adversary tests whether you would ever notice, and Assure keeps it all audit-ready.

CREST Approved
Independently assessed against the highest technical and operational standards in the penetration testing industry.
CREST accreditation means our people, processes and reporting have been independently validated — so you can trust the results and prove them to anyone who asks.
Every engagement follows CREST-aligned scoping, testing and reporting standards — repeatable, auditable and accepted by regulators, insurers and enterprise procurement teams.
Testing is delivered by certified consultants working to CREST codes of conduct and ethics, with background-checked personnel and strict handling of client data.
CREST-aligned reports and attestation letters map findings to risk, so boards, auditors and customers get assurance in a format they already recognise.
CREST-registered testing delivered through a flexible PTaaS model — designed to fit your environment, risk profile and internal teams.
