Reconnaissance & scoping
Define targets, rules of engagement and success criteria, then map the full attack surface.
Authorised adversarial testing
Penetration testing. Verified fixes.
Virmot performs scoped manual penetration testing for web applications, APIs, mobile and desktop applications, networks, servers and cloud environments, then supports remediation and re-tests agreed fixes.

What penetration testing proves
Move from possible weaknesses to demonstrated risk.
A penetration test is an authorised assessment that safely attempts to exploit weaknesses within an agreed scope. It shows which findings are genuinely exploitable, what an attacker could reach and which fixes deserve priority.
- Defined scope and rules of engagement
- Manual testing supported by automated discovery
- Evidence for confirmed exploitable findings
- Risk-based severity and business impact
- Prioritised, practical remediation guidance
- Re-testing and evidence of agreed fixes
Testing coverage
Systems Virmot can assess
Testing is shaped around the system and its real attack surface rather than a generic scan. The scope can cover one application, a connected environment or a defined combination of assets.
Web applicationsAPIs & GraphQLNetworksServersAzure, AWS & GCPContainers & KubernetesDatabasesMobile applicationsDesktop applicationsCI/CD pipelinesWi-Fi & IoT
Penetration testing methodology
A controlled path from scope to evidence of closure.
Recognised methods guide the work while the exact test plan follows the technology, threat model and agreed rules of engagement.
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.
Reporting
Clear evidence for technical and business decisions
- Executive summary for leadership and stakeholders
- Technical report with CVSS severity scoring
- Proof of concept for exploitable findings
- Prioritised step-by-step remediation plan
- Re-testing to verify agreed fixes
- Hands-on remediation support throughout
Recognised guidance
Standards that inform the assessment
Virmot draws on the methods relevant to the agreed scope and communicates severity using evidence and business context.

Penetration testing FAQ
Direct answers before an assessment begins.
What is a penetration test?
A penetration test is an authorised security assessment that safely attempts to exploit weaknesses in a defined system. It shows which findings are genuinely exploitable, what an attacker could reach and which fixes should be prioritised.
What can Virmot penetration test?
Virmot tests web applications, APIs, mobile and desktop applications, networks, servers, cloud environments, databases, CI/CD pipelines, wireless networks and selected IoT systems.
What does the penetration testing report include?
The deliverables include an executive summary, a technical report with severity scoring, evidence for confirmed findings, a prioritised remediation plan and re-testing for agreed fixes.
Does Virmot remediate penetration testing findings?
Yes. Virmot can work alongside the responsible team to patch, reconfigure, refactor and harden affected systems, then re-test the agreed fixes.
Which penetration testing standards does Virmot follow?
Assessments are guided by recognised methods including OWASP Top 10, PTES, NIST SP 800-115, MITRE ATT&CK, CIS Benchmarks and OSSTMM, with severity communicated using CVSS.
