Ethical Hacking & Penetration Testing

Proactively identify and fix exploitable vulnerabilities before attackers find them.

Transparent Pricing: All projects are scoped and billed based on our hourly rate of $50/hour.

What This Service Solves

Instead of waiting for a security breach, Welling Insights legally simulates real-world attacks. This service provides a prioritized action plan that addresses security gaps, ensuring your critical assets (websites, servers, databases) are protected against known vulnerabilities and sophisticated attackers.

Key Phases & Deliverables

Phase 1: Reconnaissance & Discovery: Comprehensive information gathering and target mapping, defining the exact scope of the ethical hack.
Phase 2: Exploit & Analysis: Active testing using industry-standard tools and techniques to breach security controls and gain access.
Phase 3: Comprehensive Report: A detailed, prioritized report outlining every discovered vulnerability, its risk level, and clear, actionable remediation steps.

Legal Readiness & Forensic Value ⚖️

This testing is not just technical; it's performed with a forensic mindset, ensuring the results can be used for legal protection and compliance.

**Legal Defense Documentation:** The final report provides auditable, structured evidence of security due diligence. This can be sent to legal authorities or regulatory bodies as a means of defense, showing your commitment to protection.
**Evidence Preservation Protocol:** Our process is non-destructive and follows digital evidence preservation best practices, making the test results admissible and reliable for future incident response planning.
**Compliance Support:** Helps satisfy audit requirements for standards like HIPAA, GDPR, or CCPA by documenting active, ethical testing against exploitable vulnerabilities.

Use Case Scenarios 💡

See how this proactive testing prevents specific, costly business interruptions:

Web Application Logic Flaws

You run an online portal for clients. We find and demonstrate a flaw in the password reset logic that allows an attacker to bypass authentication without needing code (Social Engineering/Flaw Exploitation).

Exposed Cloud Configuration

Your team recently migrated data to AWS/Azure. We discover an accidentally misconfigured bucket policy that exposes client files publicly, and we secure it immediately (Data Exposure Prevention).

Internal Network Vulnerabilities

We test the internal network to see if an employee's compromised laptop could quickly lead to Domain Administrator access, revealing weaknesses in your internal segmentation and access controls (Lateral Movement Assessment).

Who Is This Service For? 🎯

**Regulated Businesses:** Companies (e.g., finance, healthcare) needing auditable proof that they actively test their systems against current threats.
**High-Visibility Projects:** Teams launching a new mobile app, web service, or API that cannot afford the reputational damage of a public vulnerability.
**Startups Seeking Investment:** Companies that need an objective security assessment to satisfy due diligence requirements from potential investors or clients.
