Penetration Testing

Find Your Vulnerabilities Before Attackers Do — With Real-World Attack Simulations

Vulnerability scans tell you what might be wrong. Penetration testing proves what an attacker can actually exploit. TVG Consulting’s penetration testing services use the same tools and techniques as real threat actors to identify exploitable weaknesses in your network, applications, and cloud infrastructure — then deliver actionable remediation guidance prioritized by actual business risk, not theoretical severity scores.

What We Deliver

External Network Pen Testing

Simulate attacks against your internet-facing infrastructure — firewalls, VPNs, web servers, mail servers, and cloud services — to identify entry points an external attacker could exploit.

Internal Network Pen Testing

Test what a compromised insider or attacker who has breached the perimeter can access — lateral movement, privilege escalation, domain admin paths, and sensitive data exposure.

Web Application Testing

OWASP Top 10 testing against your web applications, portals, and APIs — including authentication bypass, injection attacks, cross-site scripting, and business logic flaws.

Social Engineering Assessments

Test your human layer with targeted phishing campaigns, pretexting calls, and physical security assessments that reveal how employees respond to real-world manipulation tactics.

Cloud & Microsoft 365 Testing

Assess your Azure AD, Microsoft 365, AWS, or Google Workspace configurations for misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and attack paths that bypass traditional security controls.

Compliance-Ready Reporting

Detailed reports with executive summary, technical findings, risk ratings, proof-of-concept evidence, and step-by-step remediation — formatted for PCI DSS, HIPAA, CMMC, SOC 2, and cyber insurance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is penetration testing?+
Penetration testing is a controlled, authorized simulation of real-world attacks against your systems to identify exploitable vulnerabilities before malicious actors find them.
How is a pen test different from a vulnerability scan?+
Vulnerability scans are automated tools that identify potential weaknesses. Penetration testing goes further — a human tester actively attempts to exploit vulnerabilities, chain them together, and demonstrate real business impact.
Will the pen test disrupt our operations?+
We coordinate timing and scope to minimize disruption. Testing is performed during agreed windows, with safeguards to prevent denial of service. We stop immediately if any system instability is detected.
How often should we do pen testing?+
At minimum annually, and after major infrastructure changes, application updates, or network reconfigurations. PCI DSS requires annual testing, and many cyber insurance carriers now require it as well.
What do we get in the report?+
A comprehensive report including executive summary, methodology, all findings with severity ratings, proof-of-concept evidence, step-by-step remediation guidance, and a re-test plan to verify fixes.
Do you help fix the vulnerabilities you find?+
Yes. As a full-service MSP, we can remediate every finding we discover — from patching and configuration hardening to architecture changes. We also offer re-testing to verify all fixes are effective.
