Our penetration testing services are tailored to the unique needs of Derby businesses – from web application penetration testing, to network penetration testing – providing a diverse range of security assessments to protect your critical assets.

Whether you’re concerned about data breaches, unauthorised access, or potential cyber threats, our team of ethical hackers use real-world attack simulations to evaluate your systems and highlight actual security risks. Our approach helps you stay a step ahead of malicious attackers and meets industry compliance standards such as PCI DSS and Cyber Essentials.

Penetration testing, often referred to as a pen test, is a proactive cyber security assessment designed to simulate common cyber attacks carried out by malicious attackers. Using ethical hackers, penetration testing identifies security risks within an organisation’s infrastructure before malicious actors can exploit vulnerabilities.

Testing involves attempts to gain access to systems, applications and networks through methods such as exploiting vulnerabilities, phishing attempts, malicious software and weak login credentials. The goal is to uncover vulnerabilities that could otherwise lead to data theft, identity theft or the unauthorised disclosure of confidential information.

Zenzero provides comprehensive solutions designed to protect Derby organisations against cyber attacks and emerging threats.

Web application Penetration Testing

Our web application penetration testing and web application testing services identify weaknesses within web applications, including authentication flaws, insecure data handling and web application penetration risks that could expose sensitive data or customer information.

Network & infrastructure Penetration testing

Through network penetration testing, we assess network security across business networks, remote access services and internal IT systems. This includes vulnerability scanning, vulnerability assessments and testing for unauthorised access across an organisation’s infrastructure.

Wireless Penetration Testing

Our wireless penetration testing services assess wireless networks for misconfigurations and weak security controls that could allow malicious attackers to gain access to internal systems.

Social engineering & Phishing Testing

We simulate social engineering attacks, phishing attacks and phone calls to test user awareness, employee internet behaviour and resilience against phishing attempts designed to trick users into divulging sensitive information.

At Zenzero, we bring expert penetration testing services and cyber security services to Derby businesses of all sizes. Our team combines deep technical expertise with practical insight, helping you understand potential weaknesses, mitigate risk, and enhance your security posture – keeping you one step ahead of cyber threats.
