CREST-Accredited Penetration Testing

Identify how attackers could compromise your networks, applications, cloud environments and data through expert-led testing that combines automated discovery, skilled manual exploitation and business-focused risk analysis.

Go Beyond Automated Vulnerability Scanning

Automated vulnerability scanning can identify potential weaknesses, but it cannot reliably determine how vulnerabilities interact, whether they are genuinely exploitable or what an attacker could ultimately access.

CyBiz penetration testing combines carefully controlled automated analysis with skilled manual testing. Our testers investigate credible attack paths, validate exploitable vulnerabilities and assess their potential impact on critical systems, sensitive information and business operations.

The result is more than a list of technical findings. You receive a clear understanding of your actual exposure, practical remediation guidance and prioritised recommendations to help reduce risk.

What CREST Accreditation Means for You

CyBiz is a member of CREST International and has been awarded CREST Penetration Testing accreditation following a rigorous assessment of our methodologies, technical capability, business processes, data-security practices and professional standards.

This internationally recognised accreditation provides clients with independent assurance that our penetration-testing services are appropriately scoped, securely managed and delivered to rigorous and consistent standards.

For Boards, executives, procurement teams and security leaders, engaging a CREST-accredited provider also strengthens confidence that testing will be conducted professionally and that the findings can be relied upon to guide remediation, investment and risk-management decisions.

Realistic Testing Informed by Current Threats

Effective penetration testing should reflect how attackers operate — not simply whether a system matches a database of known vulnerabilities.

Our testers draw on current threat intelligence and security research to incorporate relevant tactics, techniques and procedures used by cybercriminals, ransomware operators and sophisticated threat actors. Testing is tailored to the client’s technology environment, industry and likely threat profile.

We then translate technical findings into business-risk context, explaining what could be compromised, the potential operational consequences and which remediation actions should be prioritised.

Our Penetration Testing Services

External infrastructure penetration testing

Identify weaknesses in internet-facing systems and services that could provide attackers with an entry point into your environment.

Internal infrastructure penetration testing

Assess how a malicious insider or attacker with an initial foothold could escalate privileges, move through the network and access critical systems or information.

Web application penetration testing

Identify vulnerabilities in customer-facing and internal applications, including authentication, authorisation, session management, input handling and business logic.

API penetration testing

Test REST, GraphQL and other APIs for weaknesses involving authentication, authorisation, data exposure, rate limiting, input validation and business logic.

Cloud security testing

Assess identities, configurations, workloads and attack paths across cloud environments, including Microsoft Azure and AWS.

Mobile application testing

Assess mobile applications, supporting APIs, local storage and communications for security weaknesses across relevant platforms.

Wireless security testing

Evaluate wireless networks, encryption, access controls, segmentation and potential pathways to unauthorised network access.

OT, IoT and industrial-environment assessments

Carefully scoped testing and security assessment for connected devices and operational environments, with safety, system availability and operational continuity prioritised.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is penetration testing and why is it important?
Penetration testing is an authorised simulation of cyber attacks that goes beyond automated scanning to show how real attackers could exploit your systems. In Australia’s evolving threat landscape, it helps organisations identify and fix vulnerabilities before criminals exploit them.
Is CyBiz certified to perform penetration tests?
Yes. CyBiz is approved by CREST International, meaning its testers meet rigorous professional standards and follow independently assessed methodologies.
How does CyBiz make its testing realistic?
Our testers monitor current threat actors and incorporate up-to-date tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) into each engagement. Manual exploitation shows how an attacker would actually gain access and is complemented by vulnerability scanning for comprehensive coverage.
What types of systems and applications can be tested?
CyBiz assesses internal and external networks, wireless and cloud infrastructures, as well as web and mobile applications, APIs and business logic. We also evaluate human factors through social engineering and physical security assessments.
What deliverables will we receive after a test?
Clients receive an executive summary with business-focused recommendations and a detailed technical report outlining findings and remediation steps. Retesting is included to confirm that identified vulnerabilities have been remediated.
How does CyBiz maintain its edge over competitors?
CyBiz combines military-grade methodology with continuous threat intelligence and partnerships with global leaders to stay ahead of emerging attack techniques. Our proven track record across diverse sectors demonstrates consistent, high-quality results.
