Our team of certified ethical hackers uncovers vulnerabilities in your applications, infrastructure, and cloud before real attackers exploit them. We validate your real resilience and deliver clear recommendations that strengthen your defense.
Penetration testing (pentesting) is a controlled simulation of a cyberattack on your systems. Our experts, also known as ethical hackers, use the same tools and techniques as real attackers to find and safely verify weaknesses in your defense.
The goal is not to cause damage, but to uncover risks before they become real problems. The result is a detailed report with concrete steps to fix vulnerabilities and increase the overall security of your organization.
We cover the full spectrum of your digital environment. Each penetration test is tailored to uncover real risks and validate the effectiveness of your security controls.
Although these terms are often used interchangeably, there is a key difference. Ethical hacking is a broader discipline, while a penetration test is a specific, time-bound engagement.
| Feature | Penetration testing | Ethical hacking |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Precisely defined (for example, a specific web application). | Broad, can include all aspects of an organization's security. |
| Goal | Find and document as many vulnerabilities as possible within the defined scope. | Comprehensive defense review, team response testing, finding any path inside. |
| Time frame | Fixed (usually 1-3 weeks). | Can be continuous or long-term. |
| Output | Detailed technical report with vulnerabilities and remediation recommendations. | Broader report including technical and process weaknesses. |
At Haxoris we specialize in targeted penetration tests that deliver maximum value in a clearly defined scope. If you need a broader assessment of all security perimeters, find more in our Red Teaming section.
Every project at Haxoris follows a proven and transparent process. You always know what stage we are in and what comes next.
Together we define goals, scope, and rules of engagement. This ensures clear expectations and a safe test execution.
We collect publicly available information about targets to identify possible attack vectors and understand your digital footprint.
Our experts perform deep manual tests. We do not rely only on automated tools - we look for logic flaws and complex vulnerabilities that scanners miss.
We safely verify the real impact of findings. You see the concrete risks to your data and systems.
The result is a clear report with proof-of-concept evidence, risk ratings, and actionable recommendations for your team. We are available to verify fixes.
We rely on proven OWASP standards to keep testing consistent, repeatable, and focused on real risks.
There are many firms on the market, but our approach is different. We combine technical expertise with a partnership mindset.

We help you technically prepare systems and processes for stricter EU cybersecurity requirements.
We perform penetration tests required to meet payment card security standards.
Our tests effectively verify and strengthen the technical controls required for ISMS implementation.
The price of a penetration test depends on the scope and complexity of the environment. A basic test of a small web application may start in the low thousands of euros, while complex infrastructure tests cost more. After an initial consultation, we will provide a tailored, no-obligation quote.
A standard penetration test typically takes two to six weeks. The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the systems. We always provide a clear estimate up front.
For any organization that takes digital security seriously. Whether you are a fintech startup, e-commerce platform, SaaS provider, or manufacturing company, penetration testing is the most effective way to proactively manage cyber risk.
Vulnerability scanning is an automated process that looks for known weaknesses. A penetration test is a much deeper, manual process where an expert actively searches for unknown and logical flaws, combines them, and tries to break into the system. A scan checks if the doors are locked. A pentest tries to break the door, open a window, or dig through the wall.
