Penetration Testing Sydney (CREST-Approved)

Penetration testing is a controlled adversarial simulation to identify exploitable weaknesses across systems, applications and cloud environments. For Sydney organisations operating in highly connected, regulated, and often target-rich environments, penetration testing provides a validated view of actual exposure—not just theoretical vulnerabilities. It is a safe and professional way to verify that your current security controls actually work. By identifying these vulnerabilities, you can protect your reputation and avoid the high costs of a cyber attack in the Sydney market. CyBiz delivers CREST ANZ-approved penetration testing, combining structured methodology with current threat actor techniques to identify, exploit, and prioritise risks that materially impact your organisation.

it is a safe and professional way to verify that your current security controls actually work.

We provide several types of security assessments to suit different business needs in Sydney. Each option focuses on a specific area of your digital environment to ensure total coverage.

• External Penetration Testing: We test your internet-facing systems, such as Web infrastructure and APIs, email and remote access services, and perimeter security controls. This provides a realistic external attack surface exposure and is the right fit if you want to know what an attacker can see from outside your business.
• Internal Penetration Testing: We simulate a compromised user or device within your environment to assess what happens if an attacker gains access to your internal network. This helps you understand the risk of “lateral movement” inside your company.
• Web Application Testing: This involves manual testing of applications and platforms for authentication and access control weaknesses, injection and logic vulnerabilities, and data exposure risks, through a deep dive into your specific software or customer portals. Use this if you handle sensitive data through a web-based platform.
• Cloud Penetration Testing: We review your cloud environments like Azure, AWS, or hybrid environments to identity and access misconfigurations, privilege chaining risks, and storage and API exposure. This is essential for Sydney companies that have moved their data and workflows to the cloud.

Our Sydney Pen Testing Approach

Our thorough processes are designed to reflect real adversarial workflows, while ensuring your business stays online and functional throughout the test. We work closely with your internal teams to ensure total transparency.

1. Scope and Rules of Engagement: We start by defining exactly what we will test. We agree on the timing and the methods to ensure there is no risk to your daily Sydney business operations.
2. Vulnerability Identification, Testing and Validation: Our experts attempt to find and exploit vulnerabilities. We use the same techniques as real-world attackers but in a controlled and safe manner.
3. Reporting and Debrief: Once the testing is complete, we provide a detailed report. We meet with your team to explain the findings and what they mean for your business.
4. Retest and Verification: After you have applied the recommended fixes, we can perform a retest. This confirms that the security gaps have been successfully closed.

Reporting You Can Act On

A security report is only useful if you can understand it and take action. We avoid technical jargon and focus on the business impact of our findings for Sydney stakeholders.

• Severity and Priorities: We rank every finding as Low, Medium, High, or Critical. This helps you decide which issues to fix first to get the most value for your budget.
• Evidence and Clear Fixes: We provide screenshots and step-by-step instructions for your IT team. They will know exactly what went wrong and how to repair it without guessing.
• Executive-Friendly Summary: We include a high-level overview for Sydney leadership teams. This explains your overall security posture without getting lost in technical code or complex variables.

Pen Testing for OT and Critical Systems

If your business operates in manufacturing, logistics, or infrastructure, you likely use Operational Technology (OT). These systems control physical machinery and require a specialised approach. We offer high-level security reviews for OT environments to assess segmentation between IT and OT, exposure of control systems and cyber-to-physical risk pathways, to ensure that a digital breach does not lead to a physical shutdown of your Sydney facilities.

How Often Should You Test?

Security is not a one-time event. You should consider a new test whenever you make major changes to your network, such as moving to a new office or launching a new app. Most Sydney businesses find that a regular annual cadence is the best way to maintain a strong security posture and meet insurance requirements.

Turning Findings Into a 90-Day Fix Plan

We help you move from finding problems to solving problems. Our team assists in creating a 90-day plan to ensure your Sydney operations are hardened against future threats.

1. Quick Wins: Fix simple configuration errors in the first 30 days to immediately lower your risk profile.
2. Longer Fixes: Address structural or architectural changes over the next 60 days to build long-term resilience.
3. Ownership and Tracking: We help you assign tasks to the right people so nothing falls through the cracks during the remediation process.
