Penetration Testing Services

Most companies book a test because a customer, an auditor or an incident set the date. Hygge tests with your source open. Every finding comes with the line of code behind it, a fix, and a report you can send.

What Penetration Testing Services Cover

Hygge scopes the surfaces that carry your data and your money. The rest stays out of the price.

Web Application Penetration Testing

Login, sessions, and what one role can reach that belongs to another. This is where a customer sees somebody else’s data.

API Penetration Testing

Authorisation checks, token scope, rate limits. One missing check hands over a whole table in a single request.

Mobile App Penetration Testing

Keys shipped inside the binary, local storage, certificate pinning. Anyone can pull your app apart on their own laptop.

Cloud Accounts and Identity

How far one stolen credential travels. This is where a small foothold turns into everything you run.

Connected Devices and Firmware

Provisioning secrets, update channels, physical access. One unit taken off a wall can expose the whole fleet.

Scanning Left in the Pipeline

Dependency and secret scanning wired into CI with thresholds set. Your next release gets checked without booking anybody.

What Gets Agreed Before Anyone Touches Anything

Hygge scopes from the reason you need the test. Price and report date are fixed before it starts, and the retest is inside the price.

Scoping puts each of these in writing:

  • The target list: domains, APIs, mobile builds, cloud accounts, hardware in the field.
  • The roles testers work from, and whether they start with credentials or from outside.
  • Test windows, rate limits and a named contact, so nothing fires while your customers work.
  • What counts as critical for your business, so severity matches your own exposure.
  • An exact price and a report date, with the retest inside both.
What Gets Agreed Before Anyone Touches Anything

When Software Security Testing Stops Being Optional

Each one has a deadline and a price tag.

A security questionnaire lands mid-deal. An auditor sets a date. A customer asks what happens if one tenant reaches another. The money is already on the table. The test is what keeps it there.

A Deal Is Waiting on a Report

The questionnaire asks for a test from the last twelve months. Procurement will not move without one. The contract sits until somebody produces it.

The Audit Date Is Already Set

SOC 2 or ISO renewal has a fixed window. Test, fix and retest all have to happen inside it, or the certificate lapses.

Something Already Got Through

A strange login. A user who saw somebody else’s data. Leadership wants to know what else is open, and a guess will not do.

Four Hundred Findings, No Priority

A scanner produced a wall of output. Most of it is noise. Two sprints went into sorting it, and the real hole is still open.

Two Years of Shipping, Zero Testing

Auth, payments, file uploads, partner integrations. All live, all handling somebody’s data, none ever attacked on purpose.

How Penetration Testing Services Run End to End

One week from a signed scope to a report your customer or auditor accepts.

  1. Agree Scope and Rules

    Day 1

    Targets, roles, test windows and the escalation path, signed by both sides.

  2. Map the Surface

    Day 2

    Every domain, endpoint, role and account in scope, listed so nothing gets hit by accident.

  3. Test With the Source Open

    Days 3 to 5

    Testers work with your code in front of them. A finding gets confirmed at the line that causes it.

  4. Report With Reproduction

    Day 6

    Steps, request, file and line for every finding, plus a fix your engineers can ship alone.

  5. Retest What Was Fixed

    After your fix

    Each fix attacked again and confirmed in writing, inside the price you agreed.

What Changes After the Test

Your deal moves. Procurement gets the report they asked for, with a date and a named tester on it. Your engineers stop guessing. Each finding comes with the steps to repeat it and the file to change. Next year is easy. The retest confirms the fix in writing, so the same finding stops coming back. A penetration testing company earns its fee on the findings that surprise you. Security testing services cover the standard surface, while mobile app penetration testing and API penetration testing go after the two places most breaches now start. Software security testing runs alongside the build, so a finding is caught while it is still a change, so a finding is a change in the next release and never a rewrite.

Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Assessment Services: FAQ

What vulnerability assessment services cover, what they produce, and when to run one.

Question mark iconWhat is penetration testing?
Penetration testing is an authorized attempt to break into a system the way an attacker would, in order to find what is exploitable before somebody hostile does. It goes past scanning: a scanner reports that a weakness might exist, and a penetration test proves whether it can be used, chained with others, and what it reaches once used.
Question mark iconWhat does penetration testing do?
It converts a list of theoretical weaknesses into a ranked set of demonstrated risks. The output names what was reached, how, and what it would cost the business, with reproduction steps a developer can follow. That is what makes remediation arguable inside an engineering backlog, since a proven path competes with feature work far better than a severity label does.
Question mark iconWhy do penetration testing?
Three reasons carry most engagements. A customer or a regulator requires evidence of testing. A release changes the attack surface enough that assumptions need rechecking. Or the organization holds data whose loss would end it. The value in all three comes from the report being actionable, which depends on scope agreed before the test starts.
Question mark iconWhen is penetration testing most effective?
After a meaningful change and before the change reaches everyone: a new external interface, an authentication rework, a migration, a new integration. Testing an unchanged system on an annual cycle finds progressively less each year. Testing tied to change finds the things that were introduced by the change.
Question mark iconHow long does a penetration test take?
A focused test of one web application typically runs one to two weeks including reporting. Scope drives it: number of interfaces, whether authenticated roles are in scope, whether infrastructure and internal networks are included, and whether a retest after fixes is part of the engagement. Agreeing the scope precisely is what keeps the estimate honest.
Question mark iconWhat does security testing cover?
The browser app, the APIs behind it, mobile clients, cloud accounts and identity, and any hardware in the field. Application security testing at Hygge runs with your source open, so a suspected path is confirmed against the function that handles it.
Question mark iconHow is a penetration test scoped?
By target list, by the roles testers work from, and by the rules of project. Web application penetration testing is priced on the number of roles and distinct workflows, because that is what drives the hours.
Question mark iconHow often should we test?
Once a year where a contract requires it. Also after any change to login, tenancy or a public interface. Teams shipping weekly wire scanning into CI and book a full test once or twice a year.
Question mark iconDo you test production or a staging copy?
A staging copy built from the same infrastructure definitions, where one exists. Production is tested inside an agreed window when the two differ.
Question mark iconWhat does the report contain?
Steps to repeat it, the request, the file and line, severity against your data, and a fix for each finding. Plus a summary for the customer or auditor who asked.
Question mark iconDo you retest after fixes?
Yes. Anything critical reaches you within 48 hours, before the report is written.
Question mark iconWhat does a penetration test cost?
An exact price agreed before the test starts, based on the roles and workflows in scope. The retest is inside that number.
Question mark iconWhat do pen testing services include?
Pen testing services cover the scope, the test, the report with reproduction steps, and the retest after your fix.
