Intrusion Testing (Pentest)
Realistic penetration tests to assess your organization's security posture: infrastructure, web/mobile applications, IoT, social engineering. Black Box, Grey Box or White Box depending on your objectives, from reconnaissance diagnostics to a complete report and remediation plan. A pragmatic and ethical approach, backed by more than 8 years of offensive & defensive experience.
Why perform a pentest?
A vulnerability scanner tells you what could be a problem. An intrusion test shows you what an attacker can actually do. That makes all the difference.
By putting themselves in an attacker's shoes, our pentesters identify vulnerabilities that are genuinely exploitable, demonstrate their concrete impact and help you prioritize remediation efforts based on what truly matters. A pentest also addresses compliance requirements (PCI-DSS, ISO 27001...) and reassures your customers and partners.
Types of pentests offered
Infrastructure
Internal or external network: servers, workstations, Wi-Fi and equipment exposed on the Internet.
Web & Mobile Applications
Websites, APIs and mobile applications tested in real-world conditions, at the heart of your application security.
IoT & connected devices
Firmware, communication protocols and administration interfaces for connected devices in your environment.
Social engineering
Campaigns involving phishing and scenarios ofsocial engineering to assess your teams' vigilance.
Black Box, Grey Box or White Box — depending on your objectives 🔎
Black Box
With no prior information, like an external attacker discovering your information system from scratch.
Grey Box
With limited access (user account), to simulate an attacker who is already partially infiltrated.
White Box
With complete knowledge of the system, for exhaustive and in-depth coverage.
The benefits of regular pentesting 🔁
Track the evolution of your attack surface
New applications, infrastructure changes, new access rights: your attack surface is constantly evolving, and your security testing must keep pace.
Prioritize based on real, up-to-date risk
Each campaign measures the gap with the previous one and focuses remediation efforts where the risk is today, not yesterday.
Meet recurring requirements
Some frameworks (PCI-DSS, ISO 27001...) expect periodic testing, not a one-off exercise.
Maintain trust over time
Demonstrate to your customers and partners a level of security that is verified regularly, not simply asserted once and for all.
Who is a pentest for?
Intrusion testing is for any organization that wants to concretely validate its security: to meet a customer requirement, satisfy a compliance obligation, or ensure the robustness of an application or infrastructure before it goes into production. Whether you are testing an Internet-facing site, your internal network or your employees' vigilance, we adapt the approach and scope to your needs.
Our methodology
We conduct each pentest in a pragmatic way, within a strict ethical and legal framework, with rules of engagement clearly defined upfront. Our approach is structured and reproducible: from scoping to final verification, every step is documented. You leave with a clear report that is both technical for your teams and concise for management, along with directly actionable recommendations.
Our method: Scope, Exploit, Prove, Verify 📍
Scoping & rules of engagement
Definition of the scope, objectives, authorizations and limits of the engagement.
Discovery & exploitation
Identification and then exploitation of vulnerabilities to demonstrate that they are real.
Post-exploitation
Assessment of the possible extent of compromise: pivoting, privilege escalation, data access.
Detailed report
Delivery with evidence, severity levels and a prioritized, actionable remediation plan.
Follow-up audit
Verification after remediation to confirm that the vulnerabilities have been properly closed.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference from a simple security audit?
A security audit assesses your configurations, documentation and processes. A pentest goes further: it actually exploits the identified vulnerabilities, as an attacker would, to demonstrate their concrete impact. The two approaches are complementary — many of our clients start with an audit before moving on to a targeted pentest.
Pentest or Red Team: what is the difference?
A pentest seeks to identify as many vulnerabilities as possible within a defined scope, in a limited timeframe and with an informed defense team. The Red Team simulates a complete and discreet attack, without a scope announced in advance, to assess your teams' detection and response capabilities under real-world conditions.
How long does an intrusion test take?
It depends on the scope: from a few days for a targeted web application to several weeks for an extended scope (infrastructure, multiple applications, social engineering). The precise duration is scoped with you from the first discussion, based on your challenges.
Is a pentest mandatory for compliance?
It depends on the framework: some, such as PCI-DSS, explicitly require it periodically; others, such as ISO 27001, strongly recommend it as part of risk management. We help you determine what actually applies to your situation.
How often should a pentest be repeated?
There is no universal rule, but an annual cadence or testing after each significant change (new application, infrastructure redesign, merger...) is good practice. Some frameworks such as PCI-DSS explicitly require it at a fixed frequency. We help you define a cycle suited to your context and budget.
Why choose BCIT?
Experienced pentesters
Our consultants also work in red team and in incident response : they practice attack techniques every day, not only in test environments.
Clear report
A two-level deliverable: technical detail for teams, an actionable summary for management.
Ethical & legal framework
A supervised, authorized engagement that respects your systems and data.

Let's take 15 minutes for an initial discussion. We will understand your challenges and context, then propose an intrusion test tailored to your scope and objectives.
