Penetration Testing Telford

CREST-accredited penetration testing for Telford businesses, delivered by the tester, not a call centre.

Penetration testing finds the security flaws in your systems that automated scanners and generic checks miss, before an attacker does. Telford’s manufacturing, engineering, logistics and tech businesses hold data and run systems worth protecting, and testing shows exactly where you are exposed.

What we test

Your external perimeter and internal networks, web applications and APIs, cloud, and even your AI and LLM systems. Everything is scoped around your business, tested by hand, and every finding is validated, so you get real risk, not scanner noise.

What is actually worth testing in a Telford business

Telford's business base is unusually industrial. Manufacturing and engineering account for about 15.5% of local employment, more than double the national average, across roughly 5,900 enterprises. That changes what a useful penetration test looks like, because the interesting exposure is rarely the marketing website.

On engagements with manufacturers and engineering firms, these are the things that repeatedly turn out to matter:

• Remote access to the plant. Machine builders and maintenance contractors are often given a way in, and that way in tends to outlive the contract. We look for what is still listening and who can still reach it.
• The flat network between office and production. Where a compromised laptop can reach a controller, a phishing email becomes a production outage. The test is whether that path exists, not whether somebody says it does not.
• ERP, MRP and quality systems. Often web-facing for suppliers or customers, often an older version, and holding the drawings and schedules that matter most commercially.
• Customer and supplier portals. Anything you built so a prime could see order status is, from an attacker's point of view, an authenticated route into your data.
• Unsupported software driving long-lived equipment. The twenty year press on the ten year old operating system is not a theoretical problem.

How we scope it

We will not quote a Telford test from a form. A short call establishes what is in scope, what cannot be touched during production hours, and which of the above actually applies to you. Testing is manual and CREST-accredited, every finding is verified before it reaches the report, and a retest after you have fixed things is included. If your deadline comes from a customer questionnaire rather than a genuine security concern, we will tell you if certification would answer it more cheaply.

Common questions

Penetration testing for Telford organisations

Testing requirements in Telford usually arrive through Defence Cyber Certification flow-down, and MoD-adjacent supply chain requirements. Given vehicle engineering, fabrication, electronics and distribution across the industrial estates, much of it supplying defence directly or through primes, the scope is most often a web application, an external infrastructure range, or both together where a customer has asked for evidence covering everything they can see.

The day count is driven mostly by how many user roles an application has and how much genuinely distinct functionality sits behind them, not by page count. We scope on a call rather than through a form, and the quote is fixed for the scope agreed. Telford is fifteen minutes from our office, so this is about as local as our work gets.

Where a Telford requirement names CREST, check the provider holds accreditation at company level rather than relying on an individual certification: ours is verifiable on the CREST marketplace. See what a penetration test costs for ranges by test type.
