Controlled penetration testing
A penetration test checks that your defences really hold. Altea defines objectives and limits with you, discovers attack vectors, exploits them in a controlled way, documents evidence and weighs each risk. External, internal and Wi-Fi tests and, on request, social engineering.
What we install
- Scope and rules of engagement
- External test (what is exposed online)
- Internal test (compromised device, flat network)
- Wi-Fi and guest network test
- Social engineering on request
- Vulnerability analysis (Rapid7)
- Technical report and executive summary
- Retest after remediation
How a project runs
- Defining objectives

Frequently asked questions
Can the test break something?
Scope and techniques are agreed in advance; risky actions are avoided or scheduled after hours.
How often should we test?
At least yearly and after a major change (new firewall, new remote access).
Is the report readable for management?
Yes: a plain-language summary comes with the technical detail.
