Cyber Security
10 Reasons Your Business Should Consider a Penetration Test & Vulnerability Scan
Spot the Holes Before the Hackers Do
Identify security weaknesses before attackers can exploit them.
Protect Your Customer Data
Keep client information safe and secure — it’s your reputation on the line.
Avoid Business Disruption
Cyberattacks can bring everything to a halt. A Pen Test helps prevent that.
Reduce Financial Risk
Recovery from an attack is expensive. Prevention is far more cost-effective.
Stay Compliant
Many industries (like finance, healthcare, and retail) require regular security testing to stay compliant.
Build Trust With Clients
Show customers you're serious about security — it gives you a competitive edge.
Understand Your Real-World Risk
Pen Tests simulate actual attacks, not just run software scans.
Test Your Team’s Readiness
See how your staff or IT provider responds — it's valuable insight.
Get Clear, Actionable Advice
You’ll receive a straightforward report and action plan.
Sleep Better at Night

10 Key Benefits:
At Purity IT we use Vonahi which is CREST approved service to carry out these tests.
In summary it simulates real cyberattacks and scans your systems to find weaknesses—so they can fix them before hackers find them.
✅ Why It Matters to You
Proactive Protection: You find and fix issues before real attackers do.
Compliance: Helps meet security standards (like Cyber Essentials, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001).
Peace of Mind: You know exactly where your defenses stand.
🔍 Vulnerability Scanning (Think: Automated Check-Up)
What it is: Vulnerability scanning is like running an automated health check on your systems. It looks for known weaknesses that hackers could exploit—things like missing patches, misconfigurations, or outdated software.
How it works:
Scan Begins: We (or Vonahi’s platform) scan your network, systems, or applications using a smart device which we leave onsite for up to 1 week.
Discovery: It identifies devices, services, and software in use.
Assessment: It compares these to a database of known vulnerabilities.
Report: It generates a list of potential issues, ranked by severity which we go over with you.
"It’s like a car diagnostic test. The scanner checks all parts of the engine and tells you what needs fixing—before it breaks down."
🛡️ Penetration Testing (Think: Simulated Hack)
What it is: Penetration testing (or “pen testing”) is a deeper, hands-on process. It simulates a real-world cyberattack to see how well your systems hold up. This is often done after a vulnerability scan, or in tandem with it.
How it works:
Scoping: First, we define what’s being tested (e.g., internal network, external systems, cloud services).
Information Gathering: Vonahi’s automated platform mimics a hacker by collecting data on your environment.
Exploitation: It attempts to exploit any weaknesses—just like a real attacker would.
Privilege Escalation: If it breaks in, it checks how far it can go (e.g., can it access sensitive data?).
Reporting: You get a detailed but readable report showing what was found, how it was exploited, and how to fix it.
"Imagine hiring a professional burglar to try breaking into your building—not to steal anything, but to show you where your security is weak."

If your IT Team is telling you your systems are as tightly battened down as Fort Knox and nothing’s getting through, we’d say it’s worth asking a few questions.
Malware is evolving faster than commercial software, and you wouldn’t be the first to discover things weren’t quite as tight as you were led to believe.
Travelex, easyJet, Talk Talk, Pitney Bowes, Carnival Cruises all thought they were on top of it. No-one is immune
We can’t promise 100% security, no-one can. But we can show you a security set up that is battle hardened and tested in the wild. A set up which hasn’t been breached yet. It looks like this:
Smart Monitoring – We’re never not watching your systems like a hawk for anything unusual. We use EndPoint Detection & Response to monitor all devices attached to your network for problems 24/7. Many insurance companies insist on EDR to insure you
Managed Detection & Response We’ll constantly scan 365 email, SharePoint or Onedrive for intruders. We’ll also keep user passwords and authentication strong.
Patch Management We’re constantly applying secure patches, whether that’s to plug any holes in an emergency, or as routine updates to toughen things up.
Spam filtering and Advanced Threat Protection will keep out all the dangerous emails, and quarantine dodgy links until we know they’re not dodgy.
Intune – When Chris from accounts has his mobile (or tablet or laptop) stolen on a night out, we’ll encrypt and wipe it remotely, so nothing falls into the wrong hands.
