Audit & Penetration Testing

At Oxydian, we deliver comprehensive cybersecurity audits and penetration tests (pentests) to identify and remediate vulnerabilities in your systems before they can be exploited. Whether you’re an SMB, mid-market, or enterprise, our expertise ensures an accurate diagnosis and a concrete action plan.

What is an intrusive audit or pentest?

An intrusive audit is a proactive security assessment that uses controlled penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities and risks in a system, network, or application. Our experts simulate targeted attacks to uncover security weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors.

Objectives

We perform an in‑depth review of your information systems to uncover vulnerabilities—technical, organizational, and user-related. Using a rigorous methodology and realistic attack scenarios, we measure the potential impact of each weakness and prioritize risks. Every engagement is tailored to the real configuration and operation of your environment, providing fast, effective solutions to reduce threats and strengthen your security over the long term.

Audit types

Discover our main audit types, tailored to each environment and security level.

Internal audit

Identify weaknesses on internal network assets; attempt account compromise or Active Directory attacks; search for sensitive data.

Web application audit

Identify application-layer vulnerabilities in a web application: injections, privilege escalation, authentication bypass, and more.

External audit

Map and assess vulnerabilities across internet-exposed assets (public IPs, APIs, brochureware websites, etc.).

Architecture audit

Review the technical architecture of an application or network to assess resilience against cyber threats (best practices, segmentation, data flows).

Code audit

Examine application source code for security flaws, insecure coding practices, exposed secrets, or logic errors that could compromise security.

Configuration audit

Verify that configurations of on‑prem, software, and cloud components meet current security requirements and hardening baselines.

Red team engagement

Realistic, targeted attack simulation by experts emulating an adversary to challenge your detection and response capabilities.

Physical intrusion test

Test the physical security of your premises to identify human or material weaknesses (access control, badges, surveillance).

Retest

Targeted verification that previously identified vulnerabilities have been correctly fixed, validating the effectiveness of remediation.

Our audit and pentest methodology

Oxydian applies a proven approach inspired by international standards (OWASP, PTES, NIST).

1 – Planning
Define objectives and scope to align testing with your priorities.Define objectives and scope to align testing with your priorities.

2 – Reconnaissance
Asset mapping and information gathering to determine the attack surface.

3 – Discovery
Manual research and use of Oxydian’s in‑house tools to detect exploitable vulnerabilities.

4 – Exploitation
Controlled attack simulation to validate the existence and impact of findings and the resilience of targets.

5 – Reporting & action plan
Delivery of a detailed report covering activities performed, findings prioritized by severity, and tailored recommendations to improve security.

Assessment profiles

Depending on your needs, we offer three distinct testing profiles—from realistic attack conditions to full-access analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why run a pentest?

To discover vulnerabilities before attackers do, meet regulatory requirements (HDS, ISO 27001, GDPR, etc.), and reassure customers and partners about the security of your systems.

How long does an audit take?

From 3 days to 3 weeks, depending on your infrastructure size and the scope under review.

Will the audit disrupt operations?

No. Our tests are designed to avoid production impact. Highly intrusive actions that could cause disruption are performed only with your prior approval or in a dedicated test environment.

Do you provide post‑audit support?

Yes. Our experts can advise during remediation, perform a retest to validate fixes, and support your broader security improvements.

Do you always need access for the audit?

It depends on the chosen profile. In black box, we have no initial access. In gray box, access is limited. In white box, you provide comprehensive technical information.

Audit attestation

At the end of each engagement, we issue an official attestation confirming that an audit was performed on your information system.
