Cybersecurity testing · International reach

See your risk before an attacker does.

ConnectedNet runs controlled, authorised penetration tests that show what is exposed, what can be reached, and what to fix first.

Non-destructive by design. Testing begins only after written authorisation.

What we do

Practical security work, scoped around your business.

From internal networks to public web applications, every engagement ends with evidence and priorities your team can act on.

Penetration testing

Understand where a determined attacker could get in, what they could reach, and what to fix first.

  • Internal network, server, and endpoint testing
  • External perimeter and remote-access testing
  • Black-box website and web application testing
  • Controlled, non-destructive validation

Security posture reviews

Bring practical visibility to patching, configuration, access, segmentation, and everyday safeguards.

  • Windows and Linux server security reviews
  • Representative endpoint control checks
  • Active Directory and privilege exposure review
  • Network segmentation and remote access review

Security awareness and social engineering

Measure human risk with agreed, proportionate exercises and turn the results into useful staff guidance.

  • Authorised social engineering simulations
  • Staff cybersecurity awareness sessions
  • Findings-led coaching and retesting
  • Clear scope, safeguards, and reporting

Built for sensitive environments

Proof of access, not proof of extraction.

Healthcare, financial and member data deserve restraint. We collect only the minimum evidence needed, stop and escalate when unauthorised access is confirmed, and never alter or delete production records.

South African privacy context

POPIA

Consider the protection of personal information when scoping evidence, access, retention, and remediation.

Information security management

ISO/IEC 27001:2022

Testing can contribute technical evidence to an organisation’s wider risk and control programme; it does not confer certification.

Risk outcomes and safeguards

NIST CSF 2.0 & CIS Controls

Use established risk-management guidance and prioritised safeguards as helpful reference points, tailored to the engagement.

Stable web application testing guidance

OWASP WSTG v4.2

Use recognised web-testing guidance to structure approved testing of internet-facing applications.

Alignment means we use these as reference points. ConnectedNet does not issue certifications or legal advice.
