Risk services

Cyber attacks are not a matter of if, but when.

Criminals are constantly on the lookout for weaknesses in systems, processes, and human behavior. One click on a phishing link or a missed patch can lead to data breaches, financial loss, or reputational damage.

At Defenced, we go beyond technology. Our Risk Services combine in-depth technical analysis with a sharp focus on human and organizational vulnerabilities. From penetration testing, phishing simulations, baseline measurements to mystery guest assessments and strategic guidance - we help you build a more resilient and security-aware organization.

The difference is always in the last 20 to 30%.

At Defenced, we know from experience that automated testing does not provide a complete view of all vulnerabilities in your IT landscape and applications. Only 70 to 80 percent of all vulnerabilities can be detected using automated tools.

Our Approach

A solid pentest starts with expertise. Our ethical hackers examine your infrastructure, systems, web applications, and endpoints for vulnerabilities. They combine automated tools with hands-on testing to see how far a real attacker could actually get.

Thorough impact analysis

We don’t just identify known weaknesses; we uncover unknown ones too. And we go a step further - by testing whether these vulnerabilities can be exploited and what the impact would be across your network. Every finding is manually validated to rule out false positives and to accurately assess the risk and potential business impact.

Creativity, knowledge, and experience

A successful pentest requires more than just tools. It demands creative thinking, experience, and deep knowledge of both systems and attacker tactics. Our experts think like hackers - but work for your safety. This enables you to fix vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

Everything digital has its weaknesses.

Flexible Testing, Targeted Improvement

At Defenced, you decide how far you want to go: a full-scale penetration test of your entire IT landscape, or a focused assessment of specific systems or applications. Our approach is tailored to your needs - from quick scans to in-depth analyses.

There are many points within your organization where vulnerabilities can arise. A pentest reveals not only these weaknesses, but also the potential impact they could have. We can test:

  • Systems accessible from the internet, such as web servers and VPN gateways

  • IT and IoT systems within your internal network

  • Applications, including websites, customer portals, webshops, and mobile apps

  • Production networks and OT (Operational Technology) environments

This gives you actionable insights and clear priorities to strengthen your digital resilience - precisely where it matters most.

Different pentest approaches:

A white box approach means our security experts receive extensive information about the object being tested. The advantage is that no time is lost on gathering information about the target, allowing for a more focused and in-depth assessment. This approach is often chosen when you want clear insight into the vulnerabilities and their potential impact.

Phishing Simulation

Phishing has long been the most common method used by cybercriminals - and for good reason. A single click can expose sensitive customer data, employee records, intellectual property, or even lead to ransomware attacks and corporate espionage.

Awareness Starts with Insight

Phishing targets the most vulnerable link in any organization: people. The most effective way to reduce that risk is through targeted training and realistic simulations. These help employees recognize and respond to phishing attempts more effectively.

After each simulation, you receive a clear report showing awareness levels by department - giving you direct insight and practical starting points to improve your organization’s security posture.

Mystery Guest Assessment

How resilient are your security measures against a clever intruder? A mystery guest assessment places an experienced security expert undercover to test how your organization handles unauthorized access and social engineering attempts.

A realistic attack - without the damage

Using unexpected entry points, the mystery guest attempts to access your premises, enter restricted areas, and retrieve sensitive information or access systems. Employees are discreetly approached to assess how they respond to irregular or suspicious requests.

The results provide sharp, actionable insights into the effectiveness of your physical security and the awareness of your staff. It’s not a theoretical exercise, but a real-world simulation that clearly reveals where your vulnerabilities lie.

Defenced Pentest Security Services - your reliable security routine

With Defenced's Pentest Security Service, your pentesting is fully taken care of - professionally executed, tailored to your organization, and following a clear and agreed-upon framework. There's no need to think about it yourself anymore; everything is handled for you. This way, you can be confident that your infrastructure is prepared for a cyberattack, all year round. Complete peace of mind, maximum security.

Red Teaming – Realistic Attacks, Safely Executed

Cybercriminals are becoming increasingly smart and sophisticated. A Red Team assessment lets you test whether your organization is truly prepared to withstand their tactics. Our ethical hackers use the same techniques as malicious actors- but in a safe, controlled way.

Together, we define clear objectives in advance - such as gaining access to crown jewels like Active Directory or confidential data. Within agreed rules of engagement, our specialists uncover digital, human, and physical vulnerabilities.

Think of it as a dress rehearsal for a real attack - no damage, but maximum insight. Red Teaming shows how well your people, systems, and processes work together to detect and stop a threat.
