Cybersecurity & Digital Forensics
Vulnerability Assessments & Penetration Testing
A&D Forensics provides vulnerability assessments and penetration testing across internal networks, external attack surfaces, and web applications to reduce cyber risk and improve security posture. Evidence-driven. Remediation-focused. Regulator-ready.

Four Domains of Security Testing
Comprehensive coverage across your entire attack surface from within your network, your perimeter, and the applications in between.
Internal Penetration Testing
Expose Threats From Within Your Perimeter
Early discovery of an internal vulnerability can be the difference between a catastrophic situation and a contained cyber incident. An internal network attacker from within the system is simulated during an internal penetration test by A&D Forensics security engineers, identifying potential host vulnerabilities.
- Active Directory & domain enumeration
- Privilege escalation testing
- Lateral movement simulation
- Man-in-the-middle network attacks
- Token impersonation attacks
- Complex internal network attack simulation
- Risk-prioritised remediation report
Outcome: A prioritised remediation report covering internal attack paths, privilege escalation vectors, and segmentation weaknesses before a real attacker finds them.
Vulnerability Assessment
A Quick, High-Level Check on Your Security Posture
Need a quick check on how secure your digital and cyber environment is? Vulnerability assessment is what you need. With the aim of generating a remediation report prioritised on risk, an A&D Forensics security engineer performs vulnerability scanning to search your systems for unknown vulnerabilities without exploitation efforts.
- Automated vulnerability scanning
- Known CVE identification across systems
- External & internal flaw discovery
- Risk-prioritised findings report
- No-exploitation, high-level assessment
- Remediation roadmap generation
Outcome: A risk-prioritised remediation report covering hundreds of potential internal and/or external vulnerabilities discovered during the scan.
External Penetration Testing
Test What the World Can See
Bad actors have no knowledge of the internal workings of an organisation's system but with tools, this can be discovered very quickly. When conducting an external penetration test, an A&D Forensics security engineer emulates an attacker attempting to break into your internal network without inside information, using OSINT, previously compromised credentials, and information exposed by the internal system.
- Open-source intelligence (OSINT) gathering
- Previously hacked password exploitation
- External asset & port enumeration
- System exposure identification
- Personnel information reconnaissance
- Risk-rated findings with CVSS scoring
Outcome: A risk-rated external attack surface report covering all exposed assets, open ports, and exploitable services with clear remediation priorities.
Web Application Testing
Secure the Applications Your Customers Trust
Web applications help companies accomplish a lot in the modern age which makes them attractive to bad actors. Check your status today. Our Security Engineers carry out extensive unauthenticated and authenticated testing in accordance with OWASP Top 10 vulnerability guidelines, with a focus on identifying weak points throughout the entire web application.
- OWASP Top 10 full coverage
- Unauthenticated & authenticated testing
- Injection attacks & remote code execution
- File upload abuse testing
- Business logic vulnerability assessment
- Proof-of-concept exploit documentation
- OWASP-aligned remediation guidance
Outcome: A developer-friendly vulnerability report with proof-of-concept evidence, covering injection attacks, remote code execution, file upload abuse, and more.
Methodology
Our Approach
We follow a structured, evidence-based testing methodology aligned with OWASP, PTES, and industry standards delivering findings your team can immediately act on.
Reconnaissance & Scoping
We begin with a structured scoping exercise and passive reconnaissance including OSINT gathering to define the attack surface and establish clear rules of engagement.
Threat Modelling
We map realistic threat actors and attack scenarios relevant to your environment, ensuring testing reflects actual business risk rather than theoretical concerns.
Exploitation & Validation
Identified vulnerabilities are exploited where safe to do so, producing verified, evidence-backed findings not theoretical risks. Every finding is reproducible.
Reporting & Remediation
You receive a risk-rated report with executive summary, technical findings, proof-of-concept evidence, and a prioritised remediation plan your team can act on immediately.
