External Network Penetration Testing

Attackers start with what they can reach from the internet - and that is almost always more than you think. Invadel's External Network Penetration Testing maps and attacks your full external footprint, the intended services and the forgotten ones, to show exactly what is exposed and what it would let an attacker do.

Who This Is For

A fintech startup needs PCI DSS evidence before its first card-processing approval. A healthcare SaaS company preparing for its annual HIPAA risk assessment wants proof that patient data endpoints are not reachable from the outside. A scaling B2B platform that just completed a cloud migration needs to validate that nothing was left exposed during the transition. If your organization has internet-facing infrastructure and needs to prove its security posture to auditors, customers, or your own leadership, this engagement is built for you.

What We Test

• Every internet-facing host, port, and service, including shadow assets and abandoned subdomains
• Exposed management interfaces, databases, and services that should never be public
• Exploitable vulnerabilities, weak configurations, and default or reused credentials
• Perimeter authentication weaknesses including password spraying, MFA bypass, and VPN portal flaws
• TLS/SSL misconfiguration, verbose errors, DNS exposure, and CDN misconfigurations
• The perimeter controls and segmentation between your external surface and internal systems

How Your Engagement Runs

1. Scope and kickoff - Targets, roles, and rules of engagement defined in writing with a fixed scope and timeline.
2. Testing goes live - Findings post to your live platform dashboard the moment our testers confirm them.
3. Track remediation - Follow every finding from open to fixed, with severity, evidence, and status in one place.
4. Report and retest - Executive and technical reports delivered, then request a free retest in one click.

Most engagements run approximately one week depending on the size of your external footprint, followed by reporting and a complimentary retest.

Proven Results

Every engagement is delivered by OSCP, OSCE3, and CREST-certified consultants at a fixed scope agreed up front. Our testers validate which findings are actually exploitable, chain them the way a real attacker would, and prove impact - so you spend remediation time on the exposures that genuinely put you at risk rather than on scanner noise.

Compliance Alignment

Findings are mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and HIPAA requirements. Many compliance frameworks expect annual external network penetration testing at minimum, and quarterly external vulnerability scanning between tests keeps the window of exposure short.
