Website Penetration Testing
Have you checked the security of your website?
Your website is a crucial component of your business. Its where potential customers go to learn more about your products or services, and it’s where you conduct many of your business transactions.
If your customers details were obtained, you will be held responsible if you didn’t take the appropriate action to prevent attacks.
What is website penetration testing?
Website penetration testing, also known as online penetration testing or website security testing, is the process of assessing the security of a website by attempting to exploit its vulnerabilities.
The goal of website penetration testing is to identify potential weaknesses in the website’s security, such as vulnerabilities that could be exploited by hackers.
Certified by CREST and Offensive Security, our qualified testers employ real-world hacking techniques to uncover profound insights.

How would website penetration testing help you?
- Finds security flaws: Website penetration testing is an effective way to find security flaws in your website that could be exploited by hackers. By identifying these vulnerabilities, 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 these vulnerabilities that could be exploited by hackers. Website penetration testing can help identify misconfigured integrations and provide guidance on how to fix them.
- Help achieve certain compliance requirements: Depending on your industry, you may be required to comply with certain security standards or regulations. Website penetration testing can help you identify areas where your website may not be compliant and provide guidance on how to fix them.

What is Equilibrium Security’s 5 stages of penetration testing a website?
1. Reconnaissance
- The first step of the penetration testing process. Equilibrium Security's experts gather information about the target website, including its infrastructure, network topology, and operating system. This information is used to identify potential attack vectors and develop a customised testing plan that is tailored to the website's unique security architecture.
2. Scanning
- During this stage, the website is scanned for vulnerabilities, such as open ports, outdated software, and other security weaknesses.
3. Vulnerability Assessment
- Our experts manually review the results of the automated scans to identify any false positives or missed vulnerabilities. They then conduct additional testing to verify the presence of any vulnerabilities that were 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. The goal of this phase is to determine the severity of the vulnerabilities and the potential impact they could have on the website's security.
5. Reporting
- The final stage involves providing a detailed report of the findings, including recommendations for how to fix any vulnerabilities that were identified.
