Attack Readiness

Know where you are vulnerable.
Before attackers do.

First vulnerabilities in your environment within 24 hours. Every finding manually validated by certified ethical hackers. Breach rate: 93%.

From external scans to full red teaming: DEFION tests your entire attack surface. AI scans wide, our hackers go deep.

What is a penetration test?

A penetration test is a controlled attack simulation by certified security experts. DEFION tests networks, applications and infrastructure for vulnerabilities that real attackers would exploit. AI scans your full attack surface in hours, then our certified hackers (OSCP, OSWE) manually validate every finding. You receive a report with reproduction steps, severity ratings and concrete recommendations. First results within 24 hours.

Why organisations have specialists run their pentests

Automated scanners miss the real attack paths

Tools generate hundreds of findings but miss chained vulnerabilities and business logic flaws. The gaps surface in production. Often after an attacker found them first.

200-page pentest reports are unusable

Generic reports full of false positives. Your dev team doesn't know where to start, so they start nowhere. Real vulnerabilities stay open, drowned out by the noise.

A one-off pentest is a snapshot in time

The next release introduces new vulnerabilities. Between tests, your security posture is unknown. You only learn where you stand again when you test again. Often a year later.

Why DEFION Pentesting

Four traits that set us apart

No junior consultants, no scan-and-send reports, no false-positive padding.

Hands-on certified hackers

Senior-only

OSCP, OSWE, CEH and CREST certified. Our pentesters have years of ethical hacking experience. Not junior consultants copying scan output into a Word template.

AI breadth + human depth

Best of both

Tools cover the surface in hours; our experts find the chained flaws only humans see. Faster and deeper than either alone. First results within 24 hours.

Reproduction steps + fix suggestions

Directly actionable

Every finding includes a curl command, code patch or step-by-step reproduction. Your dev team can act immediately. No detective work to understand the issue.

93% breach rate

Proven track record

We get in at almost every organisation we test. That's not a brag for us. It's a warning for you. And afterwards you know exactly where you're vulnerable.

Our Approach

How a DEFION pentest works

We use the same tools and techniques as real attackers. We go beyond automated scanning: manual exploitation, chained vulnerabilities, realistic attack paths. No false positives from tools alone.

01

Reconnaissance

Passive and active discovery of all reachable systems, subdomains and services.

02

Manual testing

Expert-led exploitation. Finding chained attack paths that scanners miss. AI covers breadth, hackers go deep.

03

Reporting

Verified findings with proof-of-exploit, CVSS scores and prioritised recommendations for both technical teams and management.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

How long does a penetration test take?
It depends on scope. A Rapid Scan delivers results within 24 hours. A full pentest report is ready within 3–7 business days.
What does a penetration test cost?
A Rapid Scan starts at €2,500. A full AI-Enhanced Pentest ranges from €8,000 to €25,000, depending on scope and complexity.
What is the difference between a pentest and a vulnerability scan?
A vulnerability scan runs automated tools. A pentest adds manual exploitation, validates whether vulnerabilities are actually exploitable, and finds chained attack paths that tools miss.
How often should you run a penetration test?
At minimum annually and after major changes. Organisations with continuous exposure or compliance requirements often test quarterly.
What is DEFION's breach rate?
93%. In 93 out of 100 organisations we test, we find a way in. That is not bad news. It means you now know exactly where you are exposed.
