Penetration Testing Services
Penetration testing is a controlled, authorised attack on your network, servers or applications to show which weaknesses can actually be exploited and what an attacker could reach. It is for organisations that need evidence of real risk for leadership, customers or auditors.
- Real exploitation, safely done
- Attack paths explained clearly
- Retest included after fixes
Penetration testing is an authorised, controlled attack on your networks, servers, Active Directory or Wi-Fi that shows which weaknesses can actually be exploited and how far an attacker could get. Shyphan AI ITSM scopes, performs and reports penetration tests for organisations in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, with a fixed quote and written rules of engagement before testing starts.
Penetration Testing ServicesPenetration Testing Services: what it involves
Scanners produce long lists, but they do not show which issues chain together into a breach. A weak password on a forgotten test server, a misconfigured file share and an over-privileged service account might each look minor, yet together they can hand an attacker domain admin. Customers, regulators and insurers increasingly ask for a recent penetration test report, and they expect it to show depth, not just scanner output.
We agree scope, rules of engagement and testing windows in writing before anything starts. Testers then work through external and internal targets the way an attacker would: reconnaissance, exploitation, privilege escalation and lateral movement, stopping short of anything that risks your data or availability. Every finding comes with evidence, a risk rating and a fix. An executive summary explains the business impact, and we retest once remediation is done.
Before testing starts
- 1Written authorisation and an agreed scope
- 2Named contacts on both sides for the test window
- 3Fragile or out-of-scope systems identified
- 4Backups confirmed for systems being tested
- 5Testing type agreed: black box, grey box or white box
Our Penetration Testing Services scope
Controlled attacks on your systems that show what a real attacker could reach.
Internet-facing servers, VPNs and services tested from outside.
What an attacker could do from inside your network.
Paths to domain admin through weak settings and rights.
Office Wi-Fi checked for weak authentication and leakage.
Findings with proof, risk rating and clear fixes.
Fixed items retested and the report updated.
What you receive, and what shapes the cost
What you receive
- Signed scope and rules of engagement covering targets, windows and contacts
- Executive summary explaining business risk without technical jargon
- Technical findings with evidence, risk rating and step-by-step fixes
- Attack path narrative showing how issues were chained together
- Retest letter confirming which findings have been fixed
What affects the cost
- Number of external addresses, internal networks and sites in scope
- Type of testing: external, internal, Active Directory, wireless or a mix
- Testing approach, such as black box or grey box with credentials
- Whether testing must take place outside business hours
Penetration Testing Services: project phases
- 01Scope and authorise
Targets, rules, testing windows and emergency contacts are agreed in writing.
- 02Reconnaissance
Testers map exposed services and gather the information an attacker would use.
- 03Exploitation
Weaknesses are exploited safely to prove impact and uncover attack paths.
- 04Report and retest
Findings are presented, fixes are agreed and resolved items are retested.
Common Penetration Testing Services mistakes
Testing a single server can miss the real way in, so include the systems an attacker would chain together.
Automated scans list issues but do not prove impact, so confirm the work includes manual exploitation.
A retest without remediation wastes effort, so assign owners and target dates for each finding.
Networks change constantly, so test again after major changes and on a regular cycle.
Penetration Testing Services terms explained
- Rules of engagement
- The written agreement defining what testers may do, when and against which systems.
- Black box testing
- Testing with no prior knowledge of the target, as an outside attacker would.
- Grey box testing
- Testing with some information or user credentials so deeper issues are reached efficiently.
- Lateral movement
- How an attacker moves from one compromised system to others inside a network.
The difference you will notice
- 01Real-world risk shown
See what an attacker could actually reach.
- 02Prioritised fixes
Effort spent on the issues that matter most.
- 03Shareable evidence
A report suitable for customers, boards and auditors.
Five steps from assessment to always-on support
- STEP 01Assess
We review your infrastructure, security posture, assets and support model, and agree priorities.
- STEP 02Design
A clear architecture and plan, with scope, timeline and a fixed quote before work starts.
- STEP 03Deploy
We supply, install, configure and migrate, then document everything we build.
- STEP 04Manage
Ongoing support, monitoring and maintenance under agreed SLAs.
- STEP 05Improve
Regular reviews, reports and recommendations as your business grows.
Penetration Testing Services in the UAE and Saudi Arabia
Local offices in Ras Al Khaimah and Riyadh, remote support around the clock and on-site visits where your project needs them.
Penetration Testing Services in the UAE
Shyphan AI Technology LLC, RAK Free Trade Zone, Ras Al KhaimahUAE organisations often need penetration test reports for bank and government tenders, enterprise customer due diligence and cyber insurance, so we write reports that non-technical reviewers can follow. For companies in DIFC, ADGM or regulated sectors, testing is scheduled around change freezes and agreed with whoever runs the hosting, including Azure UAE workloads. We support the Emirates from our Ras Al Khaimah office, remotely around the clock and on site where needed.
- Data handled in line with the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021), and the separate DIFC and ADGM regimes where they apply.
Penetration Testing Services in Saudi Arabia
Shyphan AI Technologies LLC, Malaz, King Abdulaziz Road, RiyadhPenetration testing is part of the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls for Saudi organisations in scope, and government tenders frequently ask for recent test evidence. We test networks in Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Province on site or remotely, and keep test data handling within agreed limits to respect PDPL obligations. Our Riyadh office leads this work in the Kingdom.
- Work aligned with the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (SDAIA) and, for government and critical infrastructure, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls.

How often should we have a penetration test?
Many organisations test at least once a year and after significant changes such as a new network, application or cloud migration.
What is the difference between black box and grey box testing?
In black box testing the testers start with no inside information. In grey box testing they receive some details, such as a user account, which makes the test more efficient and thorough.
Is penetration testing safe for production systems?
Tests are planned to avoid disruption. Riskier techniques are agreed in advance, scheduled in quiet periods or run against test systems.
What do we receive at the end?
An executive summary, a technical report with evidence and remediation steps for each finding, a debrief session and a retest of fixed items.
Do you need to be on site in Riyadh or Dubai for an internal penetration test?
Not always. Internal tests can run through a small testing device or virtual machine placed on your network, though we can attend on site if you prefer.
Will penetration testers see our confidential data?
Testers may come across data while proving access, but the rules of engagement limit what they open, copy or keep, and evidence is stored securely and deleted after the agreed period.
Do you provide Penetration Testing Services in Dubai and Riyadh?
Yes. We deliver Penetration Testing Services across the UAE from our Ras Al Khaimah office and across Saudi Arabia from our Riyadh office, with remote support 24/7 and on-site visits in cities such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam where your project needs them.
