Network penetration testing gives you independent assurance that your infrastructure and access controls can withstand real‑world attack.
At Shackleton Technologies, we provide Network‑focused PEN Testing for SMEs that need to validate their security posture, meet governance and audit requirements, and clearly understand where genuine risk exists within their environment.
Our testing is designed to assess how an attacker could gain access, move through your network, and reach critical systems or data – with clear, prioritised actions to reduce risk.

Most organisations already invest in firewalls, endpoint protection, monitoring and patching. Network penetration testing validates whether those controls actually work together in practice.
Rather than producing theoretical results, Shackleton’s approach focuses on
meaningful outcomes that can be acted on.
Whether your perimeter controls prevent unauthorised access
How exposed internal systems are if an initial compromise occurs
Whether attackers could escalate privileges or move laterally
What the real business impact of a breach could be
Provide assurance to customers and suppliers
Support ISO 27001 and internal governance processes
Validate security following infrastructure change
Give boards and leadership team confidence in risk decisions
Rather than producing theoretical results, Shackleton’s approach focuses on meaningful outcomes that can be acted on.
PENETRATION TESTING ISN’T ABOUT TICKING A BOX, IT’S ABOUT UNDERSTANDING REAL-WORLD RISK. OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO TEST RIGOROUSLY, REPORT CLEARLY, AND HELP CLIENTS TAKE MEANINGFUL ACTION TO KEEP THEIR BUSINESS SECURE.
Phil Eldridge, Head of Service Delivery, Shackleton Technologies
These security assessments are complementary, but serve very different purposes.
A mature security approach uses both. Penetration testing provides independent confirmation that your vulnerability management and security controls are working as intended.
Shackleton delivers Network Penetration Testing as a focused, independent service designed to validate the security of your infrastructure, access controls and network boundaries.
Testing simulates real‑world attack scenarios to assess how an external or internal attacker could gain access, move through your environment and reach sensitive systems. This provides clear, defensible assurance that your network security controls are operating effectively and highlights where improvement is required.
By concentrating on network‑level risk, we give organisations a clear, practical view of their infrastructure security, supporting governance, audit readiness and informed risk management decisions.

WHAT OUR NEXTWORK PENETRATION TESTING COVERS
Our testing is tailored to your environment and agreed scope, but typically includes assessment of:
EXTERNAL-FACING NETWORK SERVICES AND PERIMETER CONTROLS
FIREWALLS, GATEWAYS AND EXPOSED PORTS
INTERNAL NETWORK ACCESS AND SEGMENTATION
AUTHENTICATION AND PRIVILEGE ESCALATION PATHS
LATERAL MOVEMENT BETWEEN SYSTEMS
REMOVE ACCESS SERVICES AND VPNs
COMMON MISCONFIGURATIONS AND CHAINED VULNERABILITIES
The objective is not just to identify weaknesses, but to demonstrate how those weaknesses could be exploited together in a realistic attack scenario.
Whether your network can be compromised from outside
How far an attacker could move once inside
Which files could be accessed and removed from the network
Which systems are most at risk
Which issues represent material business risk
What actions will most effectively reduce exposure
This allows you to prioritise remediation effort based on impact, not just technical severity.
Our delivery model is structured, controlled and governance‑friendly.
Our summaries provide real-world context, prioritised remediation, and a results walkthrough with your team.
Reports and evidence are written to be clear, actionable and defensible – not just technically detailed.
WILL PENETRATION TESTING DISRUPT OUR BUSINESS?
For Shackleton‑managed environments, we coordinate everything to avoid disruption. Where another provider manages IT or security, we work with them in advance to agree scope and controls, minimising impact while delivering meaningful results.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD WE CARRY OUT NETWORK PENETRATION TESTING
Typically after significant infrastructure change, annually for assurance, or when required by customers, regulators or internal governance.
CAN YOU HELP FIX WHAT YOU FIND?
Yes. Findings can feed directly into our Fully Managed, Co‑Managed or SECaaS services, or be handled by your internal team.
