In most cases, penetration testing can be carried out with minimal to no disruption to your day-to-day business operations. Our testing is designed to be safe and controlled, simulating real-world cyber-attacks without causing harm to your systems or data.

We work closely with you beforehand to plan the testing schedule, ensuring it aligns with your business needs and avoids critical operational periods. Some activities, particularly those targeting live production systems, may cause a temporary increase in network traffic or system load, but these are carefully managed and monitored to prevent outages.

If there is any test that carries a potential risk of disruption, our team will notify you in advance, agree on timing, and take all possible precautions to minimise the impact.
