Every internet-facing host your Cyprus business exposes is a potential entry point, and attackers scan the whole internet continuously. We enumerate your real external attack surface, identify exposed and misconfigured services, and attempt controlled exploitation to prove what genuinely leads to compromise.
Each finding is validated by hand — no false-positive scanner dumps — and ranked by real risk.
What we test
- Attack-surface & service enumeration
- Exposed admin panels & default credentials
- Exploitable service vulnerabilities
- TLS/SSL and email security misconfigurations
- Information disclosure & leaked assets
- Perimeter authentication weaknesses
Common vulnerabilities we uncover
- Exposed admin panels and management interfaces
- Default and weak credentials
- Exploitable unpatched service vulnerabilities
- TLS/SSL and email security misconfigurations
- Information disclosure and leaked assets
- Forgotten or shadow internet-facing hosts
How we run your External Network Penetration Testing
- Kick-off & scoping. A short call to agree goals, in-scope assets and rules of engagement, so your external network penetration testing is safe, authorised and aimed at your real business risk.
- Mapping & discovery. Before touching anything we map the full attack surface in scope, so nothing exploitable slips through.
- Hands-on testing. Cyprus-based specialists exploit and chain weaknesses manually — the flaws scanners walk straight past — to show genuine impact.
- Reporting. Each issue is verified, CVSS-rated and documented with a step-by-step reproduction and a practical fix your team can apply.
- Free retest. Once you have remediated, we re-test at no extra cost to confirm the attack path is truly closed.
What you receive
- Validated external exposure inventory
- Exploitation PoCs and risk ratings
- Perimeter hardening recommendations
- Free retest of remediated hosts
Your deliverables
When your external network penetration testing wraps up, you receive a clear, audit-ready report plus a walkthrough call with your team. Inside you will find:
- A concise executive summary that management and the board can act on
- Every technical finding with a reproducible, copy-paste proof of concept
- CVSS v3.1 ratings and plain-language business impact for each issue
- Practical, prioritised remediation your developers can implement straight away
- A free retest and updated finding status once fixes are in place
- A signed attestation letter for clients, auditors, GDPR, NIS2 and ISO 27001

What you gain
By the end of your external network penetration testing, you will know exactly which weaknesses a real attacker could exploit, what it would cost your business, and the precise order in which to fix them — backed by evidence, not a scanner’s guesswork. Cyprus firms use our findings to close critical gaps, satisfy client and regulator security questionnaires, and demonstrate due diligence for GDPR and NIS2. With a free retest included, you also get documented proof the issues are resolved.
Working with us
Every external network penetration testing begins with a short, no-obligation scoping call to understand your goals, environment and constraints, followed by a fixed-price proposal. Most work is delivered remotely, and because we are based in Cyprus we work in your timezone with on-site visits across Limassol, Nicosia and island-wide where it helps. We keep you updated throughout and flag any critical finding immediately rather than waiting for the report. Everything is covered by a signed NDA and safe, non-disruptive testing that protects your production systems. You receive your report, a walkthrough and a complimentary retest once fixes land. Engagements are typically booked one to three weeks ahead, and urgent testing can often be arranged — just email hi@cypruspentest.com.

- Compliance-ready reporting that supports GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001 and CySEC expectations.
- A free retest so you have documented evidence your fixes actually hold.

No. We avoid denial-of-service by default and coordinate any sensitive checks in advance.
How often should we test our perimeter?
At least annually and after major infrastructure changes; many Cyprus firms test quarterly.
