In today’s digital age, ensuring the security of your organisation’s systems and information is critical to its survival. As business leaders grapple with the growing threat of cyber attacks, penetration testing has emerged as a powerful tool for mitigating risk and strengthening resilience. By strategically deploying assets and investments and assigning
accountability, you can stay one step ahead of cyber criminals and safeguard your business for the future. Let us help you prioritise penetration testing and develop a comprehensive security strategy that meets your unique needs. Contact us today to learn more.
This stage involves defining the scope and objectives of the test, as well as identifying the tools and techniques that will be used. The
tester will work closely with the organization to gather information about the systems and applications that will be tested, and to establish rules of engagement to ensure that the test is conducted safely and effectively

Our mission at Nueva Solutions is to create a safer digital environment by providing innovative and
customised cybersecurity solutions to our clients. We are committed to staying ahead of the
constantly evolving cybersecurity threats and challenges to ensure our clients; information and
assets are protected. With a strong focus on customer centricity, teamwork, and ethics, we strive to
build trust with our clients and establish long-lasting relationships. Our goal is to simplify cyber
security and deliver exceptional service and support to create a safer digital world for everyone.
Penetration testing should be conducted by qualified professionals such as external security firms, certified ethical hackers (e.g., those holding CEH or OSCP certifications), or specialised cybersecurity consultants.
While larger organisations may use their internal security teams, external testers are often preferred for their unbiased perspective and up-to-date knowledge.
It’s crucial that these testers adhere to ethical standards and legal requirements, ensuring confidentiality and data integrity throughout the testing process.
At Nueva, when vulnerabilities are identified during penetration testing, we initiate a comprehensive response process. This includes detailed documentation and reporting of each vulnerability, followed by a risk assessment to prioritise the issues based on their potential impact. A specific remediation plan is then developed and swiftly implemented by our cybersecurity team.
After remediation, re-testing confirms the effectiveness of the fixes and ensures no new issues have arisen. Insights gained throughout this process are integrated into our continuous improvement strategy for cybersecurity, reinforcing our commitment to upholding the highest security standards for our clients.
At Nueva, we recommend conducting penetration testing annually as a minimum standard, with additional tests following any significant changes to our infrastructure or applications, or after security incidents.
Compliance with industry-specific regulations may dictate more frequent testing, especially for sectors like finance and healthcare where data sensitivity is high. This approach ensures that vulnerabilities are identified and mitigated promptly, maintaining robust security defenses and upholding our commitment to safeguarding our clients’ data.
At Nueva, we strategically schedule penetration testing during off-peak hours or maintenance windows to minimise disruptions to business operations.
We often use a controlled testing environment that mirrors the live system, allowing us to identify vulnerabilities without impacting actual production operations. Communication with stakeholders is prioritised, ensuring all parties are informed about the testing timeline and potential impacts.
A phased testing approach is employed, which allows for monitoring and adjustment to prevent undue stress on systems. These measures ensure that our security assessments are thorough yet minimally invasive to daily business activities.
Black box, white box, and grey box testing are three distinct approaches to security testing.
Black box testing simulates an external attack, as the tester has no knowledge of the internal workings of the application and focuses solely on its functionality and external behaviors.
White box testing provides the tester with full access to all source codes and documentation, allowing a comprehensive inspection of internal logic and structure for vulnerabilities.
Grey box testing combines aspects of both, with the tester having partial knowledge of the system’s internals, enabling a more realistic assessment of how different parts of the system interact under potential attack scenarios.
Each method is chosen based on the specific security objectives and the environment of the system being tested.
