Automated scans catch the obvious. Penetration testing, delivered through IgnisNova by Securanova's CREST-certified consultants, goes further — pairing established testing frameworks with hands-on tradecraft to uncover what a scanner alone would miss, and demonstrate exactly how it could be exploited.
What's covered:
Testing spans modern and legacy environments alike: web applications and APIs, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), networks, firewalls, and Active Directory, through to mobile applications, wireless devices, and IoT. It also covers more specialised territory — hardware and hybrid environments, SCADA/OT systems, blockchain, thick and virtual applications, SaaS, containers and Kubernetes, and AI/LLM systems — so whatever's in your estate, there's a testing discipline built for it.
Why it matters
Every engagement produces clear, actionable findings mapped to business impact, not just a technical severity score. Results map directly to the compliance frameworks you're likely being measured against — HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, NIST, GDPR, DORA, and ISO 27001 — so a single engagement can satisfy both a genuine security need and a compliance requirement.
Who it's for
Any organisation that needs to prove — to a regulator, a client, an insurer, or itself — that its systems hold up against real attacker techniques, not just automated checks.
