All our engagements are tailored to support the specific requirements and objectives of your organisation. This generally aligns with the following process:
Once the scope is agreed, we will conduct the assessment while following industry recognised practices such as the Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers (CREST) and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT).
If Bridewell identify any critical issues, we will inform you immediately. The assessment phase can be completed on your premises or remotely, dependent on your requirements and the technical components and environment being assessed. Our tests are open and transparent and you are able to watch our findings in real time on our secure portal.
Bridewell will subsequently work with your organisation to remediate any vulnerabilities or issues identified. Our consultants will recommend and implement vulnerability management solutions, which can support you with ongoing identification, risk quantification and remediation of vulnerabilities.
We are vendor neutral as an organisation but have a vast level of experience in many industry and open-source products to suit individual client requirements. We also have a team of engineers that can support remedial if additional resource or expertise is required.

Key Challenges Addressed
Organisations that don’t regularly perform penetration testing often face challenges in protecting sensitive data and systems, maintaining compliance and customer trust, and reducing the risk of a successful cyber attack.
Penetration testing – or pen testing – helps organisations identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker to access sensitive data, such as customer information or financial records. These vulnerabilities can also result in financial losses for an organisation, either through direct financial theft or through the costs of responding to and recovering from a successful cyber attack.
Pen testing can help organisations identify and address vulnerabilities before an attacker can exploit them, thereby reducing risk and securing their business. This also supports compliance through helping an organisaiton meet regulatory requirements by relevant industry bodies (such as the PCI DSS).
How It Works
Bridewell’s approach to penetration testing incorporates advanced remote testing solutions.
As a result, there’s no need for Bridewell personnel to be on-site unless specifically requested or desired by the customer, which can reduce potential overheads for the client as there is no requirement for dedicated space and support for on-site personnel.
Our penetration testing team consists of ex-sysadmins, developers, network engineers and system architects who bring years of experience developing and securing environments.
This ensures our assessment considers all aspects of your organisation’s infrastructure, incorporates lesser-known attacks and vulnerabilities, and considers business-impact of a potential breach.
