# Security testing that shows where you can be attacked

> Security testing from CyberAccord finds the weaknesses an attacker could use in your networks, web and mobile apps, source code, AI features, and staff. We offer vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, AI security testing, source code analysis, and social engineering tests for organizations preparing for audits, customer reviews, or simply wanting to know where they stand.

CyberAccord tests your networks, applications, code, AI features, and people the way an attacker would, then tells you what to fix first.

## Key facts

- **Test types:** Vulnerability, pentest, AI, code, social engineering
- **Standards:** OWASP, PTES, NIST SP 800-115
- **Severity rating:** CVSS plus business context
- **Team credentials:** CEH, CISSP, CISSP-ISSAP, CCSP, Qualys certified

## Which kind of security test do you need?

Each test answers a different question. A vulnerability assessment shows how many known weaknesses you have. A penetration test shows how far an attacker could get. Source code analysis finds flaws before they ship. A social engineering test shows whether your people would let an attacker in. AI security testing covers LLM features that traditional tests miss.

Most organizations combine them over a year. We help you pick the right mix for your risks, your release cycle, and what your auditors or customers expect.

## Vulnerability assessments

We scan your networks, servers, web applications, and cloud environments for known weaknesses, using authenticated scans where possible for deeper coverage. Our engineers then validate the results, so you are not handed a list of false positives.

- Threat analysis: every finding rated by severity and exploitability
- Remediation plan: the specific steps to fix each issue, in priority order
- Assessment report: clear findings your IT team can act on quickly

## Social engineering tests

Many breaches start with a person, not a server. With your written approval, we run realistic phishing emails, pretext phone calls, and, where agreed, in-person attempts to see whether employees follow your security policies.

Results are reported by team and by attack type, not to embarrass individuals. They show where targeted training will do the most good and give you a baseline to measure improvement against.

## Source code analysis

We review the source code of your web, mobile, and desktop applications to find security flaws developers commonly overlook, across many programming languages. We combine automated static and dynamic analysis with manual, line-by-line review of the highest-risk code.

Findings are mapped to OWASP and CWE categories and written for developers, with the goal of helping your team build secure coding habits, not just closing tickets.

## Penetration testing and AI security testing

Penetration testing goes beyond scanning: senior testers chain weaknesses together to show real impact across web apps, APIs, mobile apps, and networks. AI security testing applies the same adversarial approach to LLM features, RAG pipelines, and AI agents. Each has its own page with full details.

## What you get

- Agreed scope and written rules of engagement before any testing
- Validated findings with severity ratings and evidence
- Prioritized remediation plan for each finding
- Executive summary for leadership, auditors, and customers
- Social engineering results by team and attack type
- Debrief call with your technical team

## How it works

1. **Scope.** We agree on targets, test types, timing, and rules of engagement, and confirm written authorization before testing begins.
2. **Test.** We run automated tools for coverage and manual testing for depth, and flag anything critical to you the same day.
3. **Report.** You receive validated, prioritized findings with clear remediation steps and an executive summary.
4. **Debrief and verify.** We walk your team through the results and, where included in scope, re-test fixes to confirm they work.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?

A vulnerability assessment finds and ranks known weaknesses across many systems, mostly with automated scanning plus validation. A penetration test has a person actively exploit weaknesses, often chaining several together, to show what an attacker could actually reach. Many organizations run assessments more often and penetration tests at least once a year.

### How often should we test?

A common baseline is vulnerability scanning at least quarterly and penetration testing at least annually and after significant changes. Some standards set this cadence explicitly; PCI DSS, for example, requires quarterly vulnerability scans and annual penetration tests. We will recommend a schedule based on your risks and obligations.

### Will testing disrupt our production systems?

We plan timing and test intensity with you in advance and avoid destructive techniques unless you explicitly approve them. You always know what we are testing and when, and you have a direct contact if you need us to pause.

### Are phishing tests on our employees ethical?

Yes, when they are authorized and handled with care. We only test with written approval from leadership, agree in advance on what is off limits, and report results by group rather than shaming individuals. The aim is better training, not blame.

### Which programming languages can you review?

We review code in most mainstream languages used for web, mobile, and desktop applications. Tell us your stack during scoping and we will confirm coverage and the right mix of automated and manual review.

### Can we share the results with auditors and customers?

Yes. Every engagement includes an executive summary written for auditors and customer security reviews, separate from the detailed technical findings your engineers need.
