Penetration Testing Services in Saudi Arabia
NCA ECC-aligned penetration testing for Saudi businesses, find your exploitable weaknesses before attackers do.
Why Saudi businesses need penetration testing
NCA ECC-2:2024 Domain 2 (Cybersecurity Defense) explicitly requires periodic penetration testing and vulnerability assessments as part of attack surface management. This is not optional for organisations subject to NCA assessment. Without documented penetration testing results, your NCA evidence package will have gaps that auditors flag.
Beyond compliance, penetration testing answers the questions a vulnerability scan cannot: can a real attacker chain together multiple low-severity findings to compromise your systems? What would a motivated insider actually be able to access? How far could an attacker move laterally if they got past your perimeter?
Four types of penetration testing
Black Box Testing
No prior knowledge of your environment. Simulates an external attacker with only publicly available information.
Grey Box Testing
Partial knowledge of your infrastructure. Simulates an insider threat or limited reconnaissance, maximising depth within fixed scope.
Web Application Testing
OWASP Top 10 aligned assessment of web applications, APIs, and mobile backends. Includes automated scanning and manual exploitation.
Social Engineering
Phishing, vishing, and physical access simulations measuring human vulnerability with click rates and training recommendations.
Our 6-step methodology
Scoping and Rules of Engagement
Define target systems, testing windows, escalation contacts, and out-of-scope assets in writing.
Reconnaissance and Intelligence Gathering
OSINT, DNS enumeration, service fingerprinting, attack surface mapping aligned to PTES and MITRE ATT&CK.
Exploitation and Post-Exploitation
Controlled exploitation to demonstrate real-world impact. Privilege escalation and lateral movement where in scope.
Reporting and Evidence Package
Executive summary, technical findings with CVSS ratings, proof-of-concept evidence, and NCA ECC compliance mapping table.
Remediation Consultation
Walkthrough of findings with your technical team. Prioritised remediation guidance and clarification on all reported issues.
Retest and Close-Out
Verification testing to confirm critical and high findings have been remediated. Updated report for audit evidence.
