External Penetration Testing

An external penetration test simulates an attacker trying to infiltrate an internal network without using internal resources or insider information. Experts at RCS through open-source intelligence (OSINT) seek to collect sensitive data such as employee details, previously breached passwords, and other information that can be used to compromise external systems and access the internal network. Our experts also conduct scanning and enumeration to pinpoint potential vulnerabilities for exploitation

RCS Testing Methodology

All testing conducted at RCS follows the guidelines of the NIST SP 800-115 Technical Guide to Information Security Testing and Assessment, the OWASP Testing Guide (v4), and incorporates customized testing frameworks.
