Network Security Assessment Services in Pakistan
Internal and external network testing to expose exploitable exposure.
What it is
An assessment of what your network actually exposes, internally and at the perimeter. We enumerate live hosts and services, find the forgotten and unpatched among them, test segmentation claims by trying to cross the boundaries, and show which exposed service becomes a foothold.
Types of Network Security Assessment we deliver
External network penetration testing
Your internet-facing perimeter: exposed services, weak authentication, forgotten hosts, and what can be reached from the outside without a credential.
Internal network penetration testing
The assumed-breach view. We start as a machine on your network and find out how far that goes — usually further than expected, usually through credentials rather than exploits.
Active Directory assessment
Attack paths through delegation, privileged group membership, Kerberos weaknesses and stale accounts. In most Pakistani enterprises this is where domain admin is actually reachable.
Firewall and segmentation review
Whether the segmentation on the network diagram exists on the network. Testing it is the only way to know, and it frequently does not.
Wireless network assessment
Rogue access points, weak enterprise authentication, and guest networks that are not as separate from production as the label suggests.
How we do it
-
1
Asset discovery
Full sweep of in-scope ranges to find the hosts your inventory has lost track of.
-
2
Service fingerprinting
Version identification across every open port, including services on non-standard ports.
-
3
Vulnerability confirmation
Scanner output validated by hand so you are not chasing findings that are not exploitable here.
-
4
Segmentation testing
We attempt to reach each network zone from each other zone and record what the firewall actually permits, not what the policy says.
-
5
Exposed service exploitation
Safe proof that an exposed service leads somewhere — default credentials, unauthenticated interfaces, legacy protocols.
-
6
Lateral movement
From one compromised host, how far does the network let us go?
What's included
- Internal and external perspectives
- Discovery of unmanaged and forgotten hosts
- Segmentation verified by testing, not by config review
- Manual validation of every scanner finding
- Lateral movement paths mapped
- Prioritised by exploitability, not CVSS alone
Who needs it
- Organisations with flat or ageing internal networks
- Teams with a segmentation claim they need evidenced for an auditor
- Businesses after a merger, migration or office move
Deliverables
- Live host and service inventory, including unmanaged assets
- Segmentation matrix — what can reach what, in practice
- Lateral movement path diagram
- Patch and hardening priorities in fix order
What Network Security Assessment costs
Priced on live hosts and the number of network segments.
The figure depends on scope, so we quote one fixed price in writing before any work begins. These are the things that move it:
- Live host count — A /24 with eighteen live hosts is scoped on eighteen, not on 254. We establish the real number during scoping so the quote is not padded by empty address space.
- How many segments and sites — Each segment has to be reached and tested from the right position. Three branch offices is three starting points, not one bigger network.
- Whether wireless is included — Wireless assessment requires someone physically in range. Inside Multan and southern Punjab that is straightforward; elsewhere it carries travel.
- The amount of legacy equipment — Devices that cannot be safely scanned need careful, slower, often manual handling rather than being left out of the report.
- Whether segmentation itself is being tested — Proving that the card environment or the finance VLAN is genuinely isolated means testing from each side of the boundary, which PCI DSS asks for explicitly.
Send an inventory, even an imperfect one. Scoping from a real host list is cheaper than scoping defensively around an unknown.
Where we deliver Network Security Assessment
External network assessment is delivered remotely anywhere in Pakistan. Internal network work can also be done remotely through a jump host or a shipped device, and on-site from our Multan base where you would rather have someone physically on the floor — which is common for manufacturing, hospitals and bank branches in southern Punjab.

Frequently asked questions
Discovery and fingerprinting are low-impact and we tune aggressiveness to your environment. Anything with genuine disruption potential — legacy SCADA, fragile appliances — is flagged and only tested with your written go-ahead.
No. Internal assessment normally runs from a device or virtual machine we ship or you deploy, connected to the segments in scope.
Scans list vulnerabilities. This tells you which ones an attacker can actually chain into access, and whether your segmentation stops them afterwards.
An external test looks at what an attacker on the internet can reach and is about your perimeter. An internal test assumes someone is already inside — a phished employee, a contractor laptop, a compromised server — and measures how far that position goes. Most organisations are far stronger externally than internally, and only the internal test shows it.
Usually not. External testing is entirely remote, and internal testing can be run through a jump host or a device we ship you. On-site is available from Multan and is worth it for wireless assessments, physical social engineering, or when your policy will not permit remote internal access.
There is no fixed cap; the count drives the timeline and the price. A small perimeter of a handful of hosts is a short engagement. A large internal range is scoped by subnet and by what matters, because testing every address with equal effort wastes most of the budget.
Almost certainly, and that is useful information. We agree in advance whether your SOC should be told. Leaving them uninformed turns the engagement into a free test of your detection, which many clients want — but it must be a decision, not an accident.
Yes, and in a Windows environment it is usually where the engagement is decided. We map attack paths through delegation, privileged groups, Kerberos configuration and service accounts, and report the specific chain rather than a list of hardening suggestions.
A report with an executive summary, each finding with impact, CVSS score, reproduction steps and evidence, and a prioritised remediation plan. Network reports also include the attack paths we actually walked, because the path is often more useful to your team than the individual findings along it.
Priced on live hosts and the number of network segments. Beyond that the figure depends on scope — mainly live host count, how many segments and sites and whether wireless is included. We quote one fixed price in writing before any work begins, so the number does not move once the engagement starts. Send an inventory, even an imperfect one. Scoping from a real host list is cheaper than scoping defensively around an unknown.
