Penetration Testing Process


All our engagements are tailored to support the specific requirements and objectives of your organization. This generally aligns with the following process:

To initiate the project, Bridewell will work with key stakeholders in your organization to understand your needs. During this phase, our consultants will establish the scope and timescale of the engagement, contact any of your third parties and key contacts, and ensure all legal aspects are covered.  

Once the scope is agreed, we will conduct the assessment while following industry recognized practices such as the Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers (CREST) and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT).  

If Bridewell identify any critical issues, we will inform you immediately. The assessment phase can be completed on your premises or remotely, dependent on your requirements and the technical components and environment being assessed. Our tests are open and transparent and you are able to watch our findings in real time on our secure portal. 

Once the test has concluded, Bridewell will compile all collated evidence from the test and develop a report which includes full details of the assessment, the findings and specific remedial guidance to address the findings. Our reports are written in easy-to-understand language that can be used by both executive and/ or technical audiences. We can also provide redacted content relevant to your clients (if requested). 

Bridewell will subsequently work with your organisation to remediate any vulnerabilities or issues identified. Our consultants will recommend and implement vulnerability management solutions, which can support you with ongoing identification, risk quantification and remediation of vulnerabilities. 

We are vendor neutral as an organization but have a vast level of experience in many industry and open-source products to suit individual client requirements. We also have a team of engineers that can support remedial if additional resource or expertise is required.  

Following implementation, Bridewell has a suite of additional services to identify threats and vulnerabilities on a continuous basis. For example, providing recurring penetration tests on a regular basis or our vulnerability management service.
