Internal Penetration Testing
If an attacker got inside — a phished laptop, a rogue device on the LAN — how far could they get? We test from inside your network against the objectives that matter to you.
What's covered
-
Active Directory
The attack paths that let a standard user become a domain administrator.
-
Lateral movement
How an attacker moves from one machine to the next across your network.
-
Network segmentation
Whether sensitive systems are really isolated from the rest of the network.
-
Credential attacks
Weak, reused and cached credentials, and how they widen access.
-
Objective-driven scenarios
Reaching a specific target you care about — finance systems, a database, backups.
-
Detection & response
Optionally, whether your team notices the activity.

We check your fixes and confirm they work.
Common questions
What does 'assume breach' mean?
We start from the position that an attacker already has a basic foothold inside — the realistic outcome of a phishing email or a malicious insider — and test how far that can be taken.
Do you need to be on-site?
Not usually. Internal testing is commonly done through a small device or virtual machine on your network that we connect to remotely.
How is it priced?
Mainly by the size of the internal network and the objectives. The instant estimate tool gives a guide, then we confirm scope.
Can you focus on a specific goal?
Yes. Objective-driven testing — 'can someone on the guest Wi-Fi reach the finance systems?' — is often the most valuable way to run an internal test.
