Website Penetration Testing
Is your website’s Cyber Security up to date?
Your website is a crucial component of your business. Your website is where customers find information about your products/services and where you do business transactions.
If someone steals your customers’ details and you fail to take preventive measures, you will be held responsible. We determine what parts of your business need protection by defining the scope.
What Is Website Penetration Testing?
Website penetration testing, also known as online security testing, involves checking a website’s security to identify and address vulnerabilities that hackers could exploit. This process helps to ensure that the website is secure and protected from potential cyber threats.
Ethical hackers, also known as pen testers, simulate cyber attacks to test a website’s defences during penetration testing. By identifying and fixing weaknesses, website owners can prevent unauthorised access and protect sensitive data. This proactive approach of vulnerability scanning is essential for maintaining the integrity and reliability of a website.
Website penetration testing aims to find security risks and weaknesses that hackers could exploit.

How Would Website Penetration Testing Help You?
- Finds security flaws: Website penetration testing finds security flaws that hackers could exploit, helping to protect your website from potential attacks. The test aims to identify these vulnerabilities, so you can take steps to fix them before a hacker has a chance to exploit them.
- Find misconfigured integrations in a site: Your website is only as secure as your biggest vulnerability. Websites rely on third-party integrations to function properly. Misconfigured integrations can create vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit. Setting them up correctly is crucial to avoid these security risks. Website penetration testing can help identify misconfigured integrations and provide guidance on how to fix them.
- Ensure you meet compliance requirements:This may involve following specific security standards or regulations, depending on your industry. Website testing can find areas where your site may not be compliant and show you how to fix them.

5 Stages Of Penetration Testing A Website
1. Reconnaissance
- The first step of the pen testing process. Equilibrium Security's experts gather information about the target website, including its infrastructure, network topology, and operating system. This information helps identify potential ways attackers may target the website and what they find vulnerable. It also assists in developing a specific testing plan based on the website's security setup.
2. Scanning
- During this stage, we thoroughly scan the website for vulnerabilities, including attack vectors. This includes checking for open ports, outdated software, and other security weaknesses that hackers could exploit.
3. Vulnerability Assessment
- Our experts manually review the results of the automated scans to identify any false positives or missed vulnerabilities. They then test further to confirm the presence of any vulnerabilities they identified.
4. Exploitation
- We will then exploit any vulnerabilities that were identified during the previous steps. This can include attempts to gain unauthorised access to the website or to extract sensitive data from it. During this phase, we will evaluate the severity of vulnerabilities and their potential impact on the website's security. This helps us understand the potential impact and plan the best ways to fix the issues.
5. Reporting
- The last step is to give a detailed report of the results, with suggestions on how to address any weaknesses found.
