Why penetration testing matters
Cyber threats continue to evolve, and vulnerabilities can exist even in well-managed environments.
Penetration Testing (Pen Testing) helps organisations identify weaknesses before attackers do by simulating real-world attack techniques across systems, applications, networks and infrastructure.
At Liverton Security, our penetration testing services go beyond identifying vulnerabilities. We provide clear, actionable recommendations to help organisations strengthen security controls, reduce cyber risk, and improve resilience against evolving threats.
We tailor assessments to your unique business environment. Using proven methodologies and industry best practices, we ensure testing is relevant, effective, and aligned with your operational priorities.
Our testing supports compliance obligations by aligning with recognised security standards, regulatory frameworks and industry best practices. We help organisations strengthen governance, demonstrate due diligence, and address security requirements with confidence.
"Security is not just firewalls and patching software. It's also about securing the everyday systems quietly running in the background — systems that attackers love to exploit."
Love Sharma, Pen Tester
Our Penetration Testing Assessments
Our assessments are tailored to your environment, risk profile, and operational priorities, ensuring results are relevant and actionable.
Applications and Code
Web Application Penetration Testing
We assess web applications for security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure direct object references (IDOR). This helps ensure your applications are resilient against common attack techniques and that sensitive data is properly protected.
Mobile Application Security Testing
We evaluate the security of mobile applications and associated APIs across iOS and Android platforms. This includes identifying issues such as insecure data storage, authentication weaknesses, and API vulnerabilities to support secure user experiences.
Secure Code Reviews
We perform detailed reviews of application source code to identify security weaknesses including injection flaws, logic issues, and insecure coding practices before deployment. This helps reduce vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle.
Infrastructure and Networks
Network Penetration Testing (Internal & External)
We identify vulnerabilities across internal and external network environments by simulating real-world attack techniques. This includes assessing exposed services, system misconfigurations, and potential pathways for lateral movement within your environment.
Host Configuration Security & Compliance Reviews
We assess operating systems, databases, web servers, and firewall configurations to identify security misconfigurations and alignment gaps with recognised standards such as NIST and CIS benchmarks. This helps strengthen overall security posture and reduce risk.
Wireless Penetration Testing
We assess wireless environments such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth networks to identify security weaknesses and ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect organisational assets and communications.
Team and Processes
Red Team Operations
We simulate real-world adversary behaviour, including social engineering and physical security testing, to assess how effectively your organisation can detect and respond to advanced attack scenarios.
Purple Team Engagements
We facilitate collaborative exercises between offensive and defensive teams to improve detection, response, and recovery capabilities, strengthening overall security maturity.
Phishing Simulations
We test employee awareness and response to phishing attacks using realistic email and SMS-based simulations, helping reduce the likelihood of successful social engineering attacks.
Cloud Environments
Cloud Security Assessments
We assess public and private cloud environments including AWS, Azure, and Datacom cloud services to identify misconfigurations, access control issues, and security vulnerabilities that may expose sensitive data or services.
Physical Environments
Physical Penetration Testing
We assess physical security controls at organisational sites, including access barriers, building security, and asset protection measures. This helps identify weaknesses in physical safeguards that could be exploited to gain unauthorised access.

Why Liverton Security?
We work with government agencies, critical infrastructure providers, and enterprise organisations to identify vulnerabilities, strengthen security controls, and enhance cyber resilience.
Our team consists of experienced security practitioners with deep technical expertise in offensive security, vulnerability research, and real-world attack simulation. We focus on uncovering exploitable weaknesses that automated tools alone often miss.
We approach every engagement from an attacker’s perspective, simulating real-world techniques to understand how vulnerabilities could be exploited in practice. This ensures findings are relevant, accurate, and prioritised based on actual risk.
Our reports are designed for both technical teams and decision-makers. Each finding includes clear explanations of risk, business impact, and practical remediation guidance to support effective decision-making and prioritisation.
We work across a wide range of environments including web applications, cloud platforms, internal networks, and critical infrastructure. Our experience in regulated and high-assurance sectors ensures testing is aligned with strict operational and compliance requirements, including frameworks such as:
- NZISM
- ISO/IEC 27001
- and NIST where applicable.
We support organisations across New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdom, delivering penetration testing services that align with regional compliance frameworks, industry best practices, and evolving threat landscapes.
How we work
Every penetration testing engagement is tailored to your organisation's environment, objectives, and risk profile.
Our approach is designed to provide meaningful security insights, practical recommendations, and clear reporting that supports informed decision-making.
1. Scope and plan
We work with you to define the systems, applications, networks, or environments to be assessed. This ensures testing aligns with your objectives, operational requirements, and risk priorities.
2. Assess and test
Our security specialists conduct testing using a combination of recognised methodologies, industry best practices, and real-world attack techniques to identify vulnerabilities and validate security controls.
3. Report and prioritise
Findings are documented in a clear, structured report that includes technical details, risk ratings, business impact, and prioritised remediation recommendations.
4. Support remediation
We help your team understand the results and discuss practical next steps to address identified vulnerabilities and strengthen security posture over time.
Proven Expertise
Our team holds recognised industry certifications that demonstrate proven expertise in penetration testing and cyber security.

From Open Ports to Organisational Maturity: Why Pen Testing Is the Foundation of a Healthy Security Posture
“No issues detected” can create a dangerous sense of false confidence. Compliance may satisfy an audit, but it does not prove security controls will withstand real-world threats. Penetration testing and security maturity assessments help uncover hidden vulnerabilities, validate defences, and expose the risks attackers are looking for.
A Pentest Adventure: From Shells to Access Cards
During a network penetration test for an international client, initial access was gained by exploiting a vulnerability in a publicly exposed application. This led to command execution, a reverse shell, and ultimately full Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access to the system. What appeared to be a single compromised machine marked only the beginning of a much broader security story.
Pen Testing: Trust Me Bro(ker)
A penetration test uncovered an internal NATS message broker that accepted anonymous connections, providing unrestricted access to JetStream. The assessment highlights the risks of default configurations, unauthenticated services, and trusting internal systems by default.
