· Secure passwords

· Patching

· Secure authentication

· Encryption

· Information leakage

· Identify and understand the technology-related vulnerabilities affecting your external infrastructure;

· Understand the potential business impacts of vulnerabilities;

· Demonstrate a strong security posture to clients by providing third-party assurances that your external infrastructure is secure; · Comply with ISO 27001, the UK Data Protection Act 2018 the UK GDPR, the PCI DSS, and other legal and contractual requirements; and

Is an external network penetration test right for you?

If you are responsible for your external network, you should ask yourself:

· Are my systems fully patched and properly configured?

· Are any systems or applications secured with weak or default passwords?

· Have I accounted for all the services exposed to the Internet?

· Could malware be present on my system?

· Is every device secured by a correctly configured firewall?

· Is my confidential information properly segregated or secured?
