UNDERSTANDING REQUIREMENTS

Why Internal Network Pentesting Matters?

Internal network penetration testing verifies whether attackers can move laterally, escalate privileges, and access sensitive data once they are inside

Prevent privilege escalation

Attackers with a single compromised laptop or VPN credential often move laterally to Domain Admin

  • Lateral movement exposes full network control
  • Escalated access compromises sensitive systems

Meet compliance obligations

PCI DSS and other frameworks require internal pentests

  • Skipped tests create audit and compliance gaps
  • Unverified controls risk certification failure

Enable enterprise sales

Fortune 500 clients require proof of internal hygiene

  • Missing evidence blocks enterprise procurement deals
  • Weak assurance slows sales and revenue growth

Expose segmentation failures

Flat networks make ransomware containment impossible

  • Poor isolation enables wide ransomware spread
  • Cross-environment access expands breach impact

Avoid costly incidents

Data breaches average millions in remediation and loss

  • Undetected flaws cause massive financial loss
  • Breach fallout damages brand and trust
WHATS INCLUDED

Software Secured’s Internal Network Pentesting

Manual internal network pentests across on-prem, hybrid, and SaaS-connected environments - assessing Active Directory, identity/privilege escalation, lateral movement, segmentation, VPCs, and traffic controls

Active Directory abuse

Identify weak authentication controls, misconfigured GPOs, and privilege escalation paths

  • Show attacker paths to Domain Admin
  • Reduce privilege escalation through prioritized fixes

Segmentation validation

Confirm network isolation across production, staging, and corporate environments

  • Prove isolation limits lateral movement
  • Lower ransomware impact and recovery time

Resilience and configuration assurance

Validate system integrity and secure configurations

  • Ensure consistent patching across critical assets
  • Reduce exploit risk through hardened setups

IAM and credential risks

Find default accounts, password reuse, and over-permissive roles

  • Eliminate attack chains from weak creds
  • Enforce least-privilege and credential hygiene

Retesting built in

After remediation, every finding is re-verified

  • Verify fixes with before-and-after evidence
  • Increase auditor and executive confidence

“I was impressed at how thorough the test plan was, and how "deep" some of the issues were that their testing uncovered. Also, the onboarding process was simple and painless: they were able to articulate exactly what they needed from us, and showed a clear understanding of the product they would be testing during our initial demo”

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you test both on-prem and cloud environments?

Yes. We test Active Directory, corporate LANs, and cloud VPCs (AWS, Azure, GCP) to validate segmentation, IAM, and hybrid connectivity.

How disruptive is internal pentesting?

We simulate attacks safely. No destructive payloads are used. Testing is scheduled around change freezes and maintenance windows to avoid impact on production systems.

How often should internal pentests be performed?

At least annually, or after major changes to internal networks, cloud VPCs, or IAM configurations. More frequent testing is recommended for regulated industries.

What deliverables will we receive?

You’ll get prioritized findings with PoCs, remediation steps, compliance mappings, and audit-ready reports. JIRA/Azure DevOps integration allows direct ticket export. Retesting is included.

Why choose Software Secured over competitors?

Our manual-first, exploit-driven approach is executed by certified, full-time pentesters. The Portal adds SLA tracking, Highest Threat summaries, and compliance-ready evidence to accelerate audits and enterprise sales.
