Penetration Testing Services

Understand how an attacker could gain access, what they could reach, and which security gaps your team should address first.

Know What Attackers Could Exploit Before They Find It

ProArch’s penetration testing services show you how an attacker could gain access to your environment, what they could reach, and which security gaps create the greatest risk.

You receive a clear, prioritized remediation roadmap that helps your team reduce exposure, support compliance requirements, and make better security investments.

Why Penetration Testing Matters

Go Beyond Annual Scans and Compliance Checklists

icon

Traditional vulnerability scans can miss hidden misconfigurations, logic flaws, and attack paths

icon

Security tools generate data, but they do not always confirm whether your controls work as intended

icon

Scans surface alerts but rarely show what matters most or what to fix first

icon

Compliance checks may pass while real-world attack paths are still open

icon

AI tools, cloud environments, SaaS applications, and APIs expand the attack surface

Key moments to test your defenses

When to Consider a Penetration Test

  • Reviewing a recent security incident
  • Managing rising cyber insurance premiums
  • Preparing for M&A due diligence
  • Launching a new application or product
  • Responding to vendor or customer security questionnaires
  • Preparing for a compliance audit
  • Validating that existing security controls work as intended

A structured path to risk reduction

How Penetration Testing Works

Step 01

Scope and Rules of Engagement

Based on the business goals, ProArch helps you define the testing scope, objectives, systems, timing, communication plan, and escalation process.

 
Step 02

Intelligence Gathering

ProArch gathers publicly available information about your environment using OSINT techniques such as search analysis, technology fingerprinting, and application discovery. This helps map your setup and understand how an attacker might approach it.

 
Step 03

Vulnerability Analysis

ProArch combines automated scanning with manual testing to identify security gaps across your applications, systems, and assets.

 
Step 04

Exploitation

ProArch safely attempts to exploit validated vulnerabilities using the same types of tools and techniques real attackers use. This confirms the level of risk and shows how an attacker could gain deeper access to your systems.

 
Step 05

Reporting and Remediation

You receive a customized pen test report that prioritizes vulnerabilities by severity, explains what was discovered, highlights successful exploit paths, and provides steps to secure your environment.

 
Step 06

Cleanup and Closeout

Once testing is complete, ProArch removes all tools, files, and changes made during the assessment, leaving your systems exactly as they were. You are notified immediately of any critical vulnerabilities

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a penetration test and a vulnerability scan?

A vulnerability scan uses automated tools to identify known security weaknesses such as missing patches, misconfigurations, or exposed services across systems and networks, helping organizations understand what could be vulnerable.

A penetration test goes a step further by simulating real-world attacks using a combination of automated tools and manual techniques to actively exploit those weaknesses, showing whether and how an attacker could actually gain access, move laterally, or impact systems, and providing prioritized, actionable remediation guidance.

How often should my organization conduct a penetration test?

Industry guidance and compliance frameworks (PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC) typically require at least annual penetration testing.

However, ProArch recommends additional testing after major changes such as new application deployments, cloud migrations, infrastructure changes, or mergers and acquisitions.

For organizations with high-risk profiles such as financial services, healthcare, and defense contractors, quarterly or continuous testing programs are increasingly common.

What types of penetration testing does ProArch offer?

ProArch provides a comprehensive portfolio of pen testing services to cover your full attack surface:

  • Application Penetration Testing – web, mobile, SaaS, API
  • Network Penetration Testing – internal and external network attack simulation
  • Cloud Penetration Testing – validation of cloud identity layer and user access review
  • Wireless Penetration Testing – rogue devices, wireless infrastructure vulnerabilities
  • Physical Penetration Testing – unauthorized physical access simulation
  • Social Engineering – phishing, vishing, smishing campaigns to test employee awareness
  • AI Red Teaming – adversarial testing of GenAI and LLM systems for prompt injection and data leakage

What will my organization receive after a penetration test engagement?

ProArch delivers a comprehensive, actionable penetration test report within 4 weeks that includes:

  • Executive Summary — a non-technical overview for leadership and board reporting
  • Exploit Risk Rating — likelihood and business impact of each finding
  • Exploit Results — what was accomplished during the simulated attack
  • Prioritized Remediation Roadmap — what to fix first, how to fix it, and estimated effort
  • Post-engagement cleanup — all tools and changes made during testing are fully removed

Can penetration testing help my organization meet compliance requirements?

Yes. Pen testing is a mandated or recommended control in many major compliance frameworks, including PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, CMMC, and NERC CIP.

ProArch’s pen test reports are detailed and structured to meet the evidence requirements for compliance audits, providing auditors with clear documentation of scope, methodology, findings, and remediation plans.

Do you perform pen tests for organizations across the US?

Yes. We actively work with organizations across the US and globally. On-site physical pen tests are limited to the US.
