Penetration testing
Manual web, application, network and API testing that follows the paths a real attacker would take.
Offensive insight. Defensive follow-through.
Expose the risk. Fix it. Prove it.
Manual penetration testing, practical remediation and verified re-testing for web and mobile applications, APIs, networks, servers and cloud environments.

Complete security coverage
From discovery to verified remediation.
Manual depth, clear evidence and hands-on remediation are built into the engagement.
Vulnerability assessment
Full-surface discovery and expert triage, with findings prioritised by real-world risk and CVSS severity.
Server & infrastructure hardening
Lock down servers, containers and cloud configurations using least privilege and CIS-aligned controls.
Secure code review
Manual and automated source review that catches weaknesses before they reach production.
Compliance readiness
Mapped controls and evidence preparation for SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR and PCI-DSS programmes.
Incident response
Contain, eradicate, recover and harden when a system is under attack or has already been breached.
Ongoing security assurance
Scheduled monitoring and periodic re-testing to identify new weaknesses as the attack surface changes.
A report is only the midpoint
Finding the vulnerability is not enough. Virmot works alongside your team to patch, reconfigure, refactor and harden, then returns to verify the result.
How an engagement moves
A disciplined path from first scope to final proof.
Reconnaissance & scoping
Define targets, rules of engagement and success criteria, then map the full attack surface.
Assessment
Combine automated discovery with methodical manual testing across every in-scope asset.
Safe exploitation
Prove impact without disrupting availability, chaining findings as a real attacker would.
Clear reporting
Deliver executive and technical reporting, evidence, CVSS scoring and prioritised fixes.
Hands-on remediation
Patch, reconfigure, refactor and harden alongside the people responsible for the system.
Re-test & prove
Verify each fix and provide evidence that every agreed finding has been closed.

Flexible by design
Choose the engagement rhythm that fits the risk.
One-off assessment
A point-in-time penetration test for a defined scope, ideal before a launch, audit or funding round.
Security retainer
Ongoing testing, advisory and rapid response from a security team that already understands your systems.
Ongoing security assurance
Scheduled monitoring, periodic re-tests and hands-on remediation support as your environment changes.
Direct answers
What teams usually ask before testing begins.
Will you fix the problems or only report them?
Both. Every engagement can include hands-on remediation: patching, reconfiguration and hardening alongside your team, followed by re-testing to prove agreed findings are closed.
Is the initial security review really free?
Yes. Virmot offers a no-cost initial external security review and a walkthrough of the highest-risk findings. A full penetration test and remediation programme can then be scoped if needed.
What kinds of systems can you test?
Websites, web apps and APIs, mobile and desktop apps, servers and networks, cloud environments, databases and CI/CD pipelines can all be assessed.
Will testing take production systems down?
Testing is carefully scoped, staging is used where possible, intrusive checks are throttled and any higher-impact activity is coordinated in advance.
Which recognised standards guide the work?
Assessments align with OWASP Top 10, PTES, NIST SP 800-115, MITRE ATT&CK and CIS Benchmarks, with severity communicated using CVSS.
