Why Perform a Penetration Test with Plavno?

A pentest is the most direct way to measure your real exposure: we pressure-test defenses with attacker-grade tactics, reveal exploitable paths, and give your teams clear fixes and a plan. This turns “theoretical risk” into prioritized, provable action

Stop modern attacks before they start

Stop modern attacks before they start

Validate that tools, policies, and runbooks actually block real attack chains—before adversaries do. See how vulnerabilities chain across apps, APIs, cloud, and identity to impact your business

Prioritize what matters & fix faster

Third-party testing removes friction in security reviews and vendor assessments and helps convert prospects

Support certifications & audits

Support certifications & audits

Use results to prepare for ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS and similar audits; run pre-assessment testing to fix issues early

Uplift people & processes

Data-driven Decisions

What do you want to pentest?

Highly specialized in pentest, Plavno runs security audits for:

Web platforms

Web platforms

Penetration testing uncovers weaknesses in browser-based applications and services, helping secure user data and prevent unauthorized access over the internet

Mobile applications

Mobile applications

Security testing of mobile apps ensures safe access to on-the-go services, protecting sensitive device information and communications from exploitation

IoT & connected devices

IoT & connected devices

Penetration testing evaluates the security of internet-connected physical devices, identifying risks in data collection, automation controls, and remote management to prevent breaches and tampering

Competitive Ability

Methods & Depth of testing

Real-world performance metrics that demonstrate the system`s capabilities in production environments

Typical timeline (varies by scope)

How often to test: at least annually or after significant change; high-risk / regulated environments more frequently (quarterly+)

Attack Prevention

Penetration Testing Scope & Coverage

Web platforms

Web platforms

Authentication/authorization, business-logic abuse, data exposure, injection, SSRF, IDOR, session management, API security.

Real-world: black-box ecommerce pentests found critical logic flaws enabling fraud, DB access, and DoS; continuous audits keep new features safe

Mobile applications

Mobile applications

Secure storage, auth flows, reverse-engineering resistance, API interactions.

Findings we often fix: hardcoded secrets, insecure storage, outdated libs

IoT & connected devices

IoT & connected devices

Firmware/interface security, credential policy, radio/protocol and physical vectors.

Case: insecure default password allowed takeover of a sensitive device; fixes rolled into network & ERP hardening

Infrastructure & network

Infrastructure & network

External perimeter mapping (OSINT), service fingerprinting, misconfigurations, patch status, privilege escalation.

Typical: outdated services, weak segmentation, default creds

Social engineering

Social engineering

Phishing/vishing against staff and execs to reveal process gaps and training needs; we supply playbooks and training plans.

Observed: moderate phish hit-rate; vishing exposed ID-verification gaps

Information systems

Information systems

Black- and grey-box analysis of auth workflows, role partitioning, and privilege escalation.

Outcome: weaknesses in in-house SSO fixed to significantly raise auth security

Solutions Suitable for You

Engagement Models & Budgeting

Three distinct approaches to project pricing and delivery, each tailored to different client needs and project characteristics

Fixed-Price Scopes

When targets and depth are clear

Time & Material

For evolving, multi-wave testing. We quote end-to-end cost and deliver within client budget constraints (your internal staffing model stays opaque to the client)

Drivers of cost & duration

Type, number, and complexity of targets (e.g., broad networks vs single app)

Best Practices

Compliance & Standards

Whether you're heading into an audit or striving for certified compliance, we support multiple regulatory frameworks and standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick Answers

Find answers to your common concerns

Pentest vs. vulnerability scan — what’s the difference?

Scanning is automated detection; pentest is expert-led exploitation proving impact and chaining weaknesses. Both are useful, but pentest answers “what can an attacker really do?”.

Do you train teams and verify fixes?

Yes — secure-coding workshops, social-engineering awareness, and fast re-tests after remediation

What report will my board see?

A concise executive summary with business impact and prioritized roadmap; engineers receive a deep technical report with PoCs and step-by-step remediation

How often should we conduct security assessments?

Regular assessments are recommended, with annual pentests and quarterly vulnerability scans, adjusting frequency based on risk, changes in the environment, and compliance requirements
