Security Testing & Services

Stay ahead of security threats with a trusted provider

At Risk Crew, we do not believe security testing should be a basic “tick-box” compliance exercise. Our team is comprised of elite, CREST-accredited security engineers who use industry-leading testing methodologies to identify, exploit, and help you mitigate security weaknesses before malicious actors can. 

Whether you need to secure a single web application or stress-test your entire physical and digital footprint, we deliver thorough analysis and clear, real-time reporting. Every engagement is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee: if you are not completely satisfied with our testing, you will not be charged.

Scan and map your entire IT estate to identify, categorise, and prioritise known technical vulnerabilities. We combine automated threat intelligence with manual validation to eliminate false positives and provide you with a clear, risk-ranked remediation list.

Security Vulnerability Assessment

Identify critical flaws in your custom web apps, APIs, and client-side portals. Our engineers systematically test against the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities (including SQL injection, XSS, and broken authentication) to ensure your web services remain resilient under attack.

Web Application Penetration Testing

Audit your internal software assets, source code, and development pipelines. By integrating both static (SAST) and dynamic (DAST) testing methodologies, we help your development team find and patch architecture flaws early in the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

Application Security Testing

Stress-test your external internet-facing perimeter and your internal corporate network. We simulate real-world attacker techniques to compromise firewall configurations, exploit legacy protocols, and attempt lateral movement to prove how deep an intruder could penetrate.

Network Penetration Testing

Expose misconfigurations, weak identity access controls, and storage vulnerabilities across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud environments. We ensure your cloud deployments adhere to industry-best security architectures and comply with rigorous framework benchmarks.

Cloud Penetration Testing

Specialty Security Testing

Targeted, high-expertise assessments to secure complex emerging technologies, custom hardware, and specialised data environments.

Measure your workforce's vulnerability to psychological manipulation and deceptive entry. We design highly realistic spear-phishing campaigns, vishing (voice) scenarios, and tailgating simulations to test and improve your employees' real-world security awareness.

Social Engineering Testing

Audit smart contracts, decentralized applications (dApps), and distributed ledger protocols for critical code vulnerabilities. We review cryptographic integrity and transaction logic to prevent catastrophic exploits and protect your digital assets.

Blockchain Security Testing

Examine your iOS and Android applications for insecure data storage, weak session management, and reverse-engineering risks. We follow the OWASP MASVS standard to verify that user data is thoroughly protected on all physical mobile devices.

Mobile Application Security Testing

Assess the physical, hardware, firmware, and radio communication layers of your connected internet-of-things devices. We analyse local storage, communication protocols, and cloud APIs to prevent attackers from using IoT assets as entry points to your corporate network.

IoT Penetration Testing

Advanced Security Testing

High-fidelity, real-world attack simulations designed to test your internal detection and response capabilities against sophisticated threat actors.

Simulate a multi-layered, real-world cyberattack against your organisation. Our engineers use targeted reconnaissance, custom malware payloads, and stealthy lateral movement over an extended timeframe to test whether your internal security team can detect and contain an active breach.

Red Team Testing

Test the physical security of your data centres, offices, and secure facilities. Our specialists attempt covert physical entry, bypass electronic badge locks, avoid camera coverage, and locate left-behind sensitive materials to identify security weaknesses in your real-world facilities.

Physical Penetration Testing

Conduct a collaborative, hands-on exercise where our offensive team (Red) and your defensive team (Blue) work side-by-side. We execute controlled attack techniques in real time to train your analysts on how to tune their SIEM, SOC, and EDR systems to spot hidden threats.

Purple Team Testing

The Risk Crew Approach to Security Testing

Our rigorous testing methodology ensures clear planning, non-disruptive execution, and actionable results that your business can immediately implement. 

We work closely with your technical teams to map target assets, establish clear rules of engagement (RoE), and ensure our testing activities will not disrupt your live business operations. 

We gather open-source intelligence (OSINT) and deploy advanced manual and automated testing tools to find potential entry points, hidden paths, and software misconfigurations. 

Our CREST-certified testers attempt to safely exploit identified gaps to determine the true business impact of a vulnerability. If we find a critical, high-risk security flaw, we alert your technical team immediately so it can be patched right away. If you are not completely satisfied with our services, you will not be charged. No one else does that.

We deliver a clean, executive-friendly report that categorises vulnerabilities by severity and provides clear, step-by-step remediation advice. Every project includes a stakeholder debrief to ensure a complete, smooth knowledge transfer. 

Risk Crew were very efficient and really helped me understand the process for Pen testing. When I was originally looking for a company that could conduct the pen test, I made some online enquires, Risk Crew were the only company that actually picked up the phone and made contact with me to explain the process. I went with the Risk Crew quote, not because they were the cheapest (they weren't!), but by actually talking to me in the first instance, I felt supported, and knew they would provide a good service.

FAQs

CREST is an international, gold-standard accreditation body for the technical cybersecurity industry. A CREST-accredited penetration test means your testing is performed by highly trained, vetted, and ethical professionals who follow rigorous, standardised methodologies and adhere to a strict code of conduct.

Vulnerability scanning is an automated, high-level scan that identifies known software flaws and misconfigurations. Penetration testing is a hands-on, highly skilled manual assessment where a human engineer actively attempts to exploit those vulnerabilities to determine their real-world impact and danger to your business.

Best practices and regulatory standards (such as PCI DSS, SOC 2, and DORA) recommend conducting penetration testing at least once a year. You should also conduct targeted testing immediately after releasing major software updates, altering network structures, or migrating to a new cloud environment.

In a Black Box test, our engineers have zero prior knowledge of your systems, simulating an external hacker. In a White Box test, we have complete access to code, diagrams, and administrative details. A Grey Box test strikes a balance, providing us with basic user credentials or limited architecture details to focus on internal user privileges.
