Our Penetration Testing Services

We offer a full range of penetration testing services designed to cover every layer of your digital infrastructure. Each engagement is tailored to your specific environment and business requirements.

  • External Penetration Testing: We simulate attacks from outside your network perimeter to identify exploitable vulnerabilities in public-facing systems, firewalls, and services. Learn more
  • Internal Penetration Testing: Our team tests from within your network to assess what a malicious insider or compromised endpoint could access, including lateral movement and privilege escalation paths.
  • Web Application Pentesting: Thorough manual testing of web applications against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities including SQL injection, XSS, broken authentication, and insecure direct object references. Learn more
  • Mobile Application Pentesting: Security testing for Android and iOS apps covering data storage, network communication, platform interaction, and reverse engineering risks. Learn more
  • Wireless Penetration Testing: Assessment of Wi-Fi networks for rogue access points, weak encryption, evil twin attacks, and unauthorized access vulnerabilities.

Our Penetration Testing Methodology

Our penetration testing methodology is based on globally recognized frameworks including PTES, NIST SP 800-115, OSSTMM, and the OWASP Testing Guide. We follow a structured five-phase approach for every engagement.

Phase 1: Scoping and Planning

We begin by understanding your business objectives, defining the scope of testing, identifying target systems, and establishing rules of engagement. This phase ensures the assessment aligns with your security goals and compliance requirements.

Phase 2: Intelligence Gathering

Our team performs both passive and active reconnaissance to map your attack surface. This includes identifying technologies, discovering subdomains, enumerating services, and gathering intelligence that informs the testing strategy.

Phase 3: Vulnerability Discovery

Using a combination of automated scanning and manual analysis, we identify vulnerabilities across your infrastructure. Every finding is verified manually to eliminate false positives and categorized using CVSS v3.1 scoring.

Phase 4: Exploitation and Post-Exploitation

We attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities in a controlled manner, simulating real attacker behavior. Post-exploitation activities include lateral movement, privilege escalation, and data access assessment to demonstrate actual business impact.

Phase 5: Reporting and Remediation

We deliver a detailed report with executive summary, technical findings with proof-of-concept evidence, risk ratings, and prioritized remediation guidance. Our team provides post-report consultation and complimentary re-testing after fixes are implemented.

Why Choose Codesecure for Penetration Testing

Organizations across Chennai and India rely on Codesecure to uncover the vulnerabilities that matter most. Here is what makes our penetration testing engagements different.

  • Manual Testing Expertise: Our engineers go beyond automated scans. We perform deep manual testing to uncover business logic flaws, chained vulnerabilities, and complex attack paths that tools cannot detect.
  • Real Attack Simulation: Every engagement mirrors real-world attack scenarios. We replicate techniques used by advanced threat actors to give you a realistic view of your security posture.
  • Compliance-Ready Reports: Our reports satisfy audit requirements for ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR.
  • Zero False-Positive Policy: We manually validate every vulnerability before reporting it. You get actionable findings with proof-of-concept evidence, not unverified scanner output.
  • Free Re-Testing: After your team fixes the issues, we re-test all findings at no additional cost to confirm that vulnerabilities have been properly addressed.
  • Dedicated Communication: You get a single point of contact throughout the engagement with real-time updates, clarifications, and remediation guidance.

Penetration Testing for Compliance

Penetration testing is a requirement under multiple regulatory and compliance frameworks. Our testing methodology and reporting are designed to help you meet these obligations efficiently.

ISO 27001

ISO 27001 Annex A controls require organizations to conduct regular technical vulnerability assessments. Our penetration tests directly satisfy A.12.6 (Technical Vulnerability Management) and support your ISMS implementation.

PCI DSS

PCI DSS Requirement 11.3 mandates penetration testing for organizations that store, process, or transmit cardholder data. Our pentest reports are structured to meet PCI DSS audit documentation standards.

SOC 2

SOC 2 requires service organizations to demonstrate effective security controls. Our penetration testing provides evidence for the Security, Availability, and Confidentiality trust service criteria.

HIPAA

HIPAA Security Rule requires covered entities to perform regular risk assessments. Our penetration testing helps healthcare organizations identify threats to electronic protected health information (ePHI).

DPDP Act 2023

India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act requires data fiduciaries to implement reasonable security safeguards. Regular penetration testing demonstrates your commitment to protecting personal data.

RBI Guidelines

RBI IT Master Direction mandates periodic penetration testing for banks, NBFCs, and payment aggregators. Our methodology aligns with RBI prescribed requirements for financial institutions in India.

Frequently Asked Questions About Penetration Testing

Common questions businesses ask before engaging a penetration testing company in Chennai.

Penetration testing is a hands-on security assessment where ethical hackers actively attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in your systems, simulating a real attacker. Vulnerability scanning only identifies known weaknesses using automated tools. Penetration testing goes further by validating whether those weaknesses can actually be exploited and measuring the real business impact. Codesecure combines both approaches for thorough coverage.

Codesecure offers black-box testing (no prior knowledge of the target), gray-box testing (partial knowledge such as user credentials), and white-box testing (full access to source code and architecture). We also specialize in external penetration testing, internal network testing, web application pentesting, mobile app testing, wireless security assessments, and social engineering engagements.

Before every engagement, we define the scope, rules of engagement, and testing windows in consultation with your team. We use controlled exploitation techniques that avoid denial-of-service attacks or destructive actions. Testing can be scheduled during off-peak hours, and we maintain open communication throughout the process to address any concerns in real time.

You will receive a comprehensive report that includes an executive summary for leadership, detailed technical findings with proof-of-concept evidence, risk ratings using CVSS v3.1 scoring, step-by-step remediation guidance, and a compliance mapping section aligned to frameworks like ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and SOC 2. We also provide complimentary re-testing after remediation.

Yes. Several regulatory frameworks in India require regular penetration testing. RBI mandates periodic security testing for banks, NBFCs, and payment aggregators. PCI DSS requires penetration testing for organizations handling cardholder data. ISO 27001 expects regular technical security reviews. The DPDP Act also encourages reasonable security measures, which includes penetration testing as a best practice.
