Penetration Testing.

We attempt to breach your systems using the same methods real attackers use. You get a clear, plain-English report on what we found, what it means, and exactly how to fix it.

What it is

Finding your weaknesses before attackers do.

A penetration test is an authorised, structured attempt to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in your systems. It goes beyond automated scanning by applying human judgement and attacker methodology to find the issues that scanners miss.

We have conducted penetration tests for government agencies, membership organisations, and regulated sector clients across New Zealand. Every test is scoped carefully, conducted safely, and documented clearly.

Every report we produce is written to be understood by your leadership team, not just your IT provider. Findings are explained in plain language with business context, not just CVSS scores.

Types of testing

  • External network penetration testing: assessing internet-facing systems
  • Web application testing: reviewing custom or third-party web applications
  • Internal network testing: assessing risk from inside your network perimeter
  • Social engineering: phishing simulations and pretexting exercises
  • Cloud configuration review: AWS, Azure, and Microsoft 365 environments
  • API security testing: reviewing application programming interfaces

"Secure23 conducted Pen Tests and a Security Assessment on some of our most critical business systems. Their work helped us understand our security landscape and provided clear, understandable reports on areas we could improve."

Dan Wood, Chief Information Officer, NZ Police Association
