IT security penetration testing, also known as “PEN Testing,” is a process used to test and strengthen the defences of your IT systems. Professional penetration testing services are essential to maintaining and improving the security of your IP, network, physical, cloud, and even the less tangible social and cultural aspects of your cyber security.
As one of the trusted penetration testing service providers in Perth, Epic IT delivers comprehensive IT security and penetration testing services designed to identify, assess, and mitigate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
In recent years, many Australian companies have been exposed to social and cultural security vulnerabilities. Our team can help your organisation build a resilient culture where everyone plays a role in cyber defence. Through effective policy, process, role definition, training, and awareness, Epic IT ensures your entire organisation understands that cyber security is everyone’s responsibility.
During a PEN test, our cyber security team is granted permission by the client to ethically hack, test, and identify potential vulnerabilities within their IT systems. The testing process may include network penetration testing services, our infrastructure penetration testing for Perth businesses, and other targeted assessments depending on the scope.
Our experts document the entire testing process and provide a detailed security report outlining discovered weaknesses, exploitation methods, and actionable recommendations. This information allows your business to strengthen its cyber defences against threats uncovered during the test.
Our Perth-based penetration testing service providers can also assist with implementation and remediation. For clients who are not managed service partners (MSA), we collaborate closely with their in-house IT professionals to apply the report’s findings.
We also offer penetration testing as a service (PTaaS) and automated penetration testing services for organisations that prefer continuous monitoring and on-demand testing. This approach helps detect new vulnerabilities faster and ensures ongoing security readiness.
Below we break down the key benefits of conducting either one off or recurring pentetration testing programs.
A PEN test is an opportunity to review and analyse the overall security posture of your IT environment. This thorough review highlights your organisation’s ability to defend applications, systems, networks, endpoints, and users against both external and internal cyber threats.
By conducting IT security penetration testing or network penetration testing in Perth, you gain valuable insight into your company’s real-world risk exposure. The simulated testing process exposes vulnerabilities and attack methods that could be used in a coordinated cyber attack. This knowledge empowers your team to strengthen defences, deploy more effective tools, and adjust tactics to prevent or mitigate such attacks.
A detailed penetration test report can also guide budget reallocation—helping you focus your IT expenditure on areas that deliver the greatest security impact.
According to the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), cyber crime cost Australian companies more than $33 billion in the 2020–2021 financial year.
A single breach can cause severe financial loss—not just through fraud or data theft but also via business interruption, revenue loss, remediation costs, legal expenses, and fines for non-compliance or negligence.
A damaged image or reputation following a cyber incident can further intensify financial strain through cancelled contracts, lost sponsorships, or withdrawal of investor funding. Regular IT security and penetration testing services significantly reduce these risks by uncovering vulnerabilities before cybercriminals can exploit them.
Epic IT’s penetration testing solutions in Perth provide a measurable return on investment by helping your business avoid costly downtime and reputational harm.
A cyber security breach can quickly erode trust and potentially end long-standing business partnerships. In today’s connected ecosystem, your organisation’s cyber posture directly affects that of your partners, suppliers, and clients.
Companies that cannot demonstrate strong security measures may lose the confidence of their stakeholders. Regular penetration testing services assure partners that your business takes cyber risk seriously and implements best practices to safeguard sensitive information.
A tightly integrated business partnership is only as strong as its weakest link. By performing regular network penetration testing services across your environment, Epic IT ensures your company is not identified as that weak link, protecting vital relationships and maintaining partner confidence.
You only have to turn on the TV to see how cyber security breaches affect the reputation of many Australian businesses and organisations.
It takes years of hard work to build a solid reputation. But it can take a single event overnight to undo. A breach of cyber security could mean the difference between maintaining, renewing or securing a new partnership.
The destructive consequences of a cyber security breach can take years to repair and will hurt financially. Scheduling regular IT penetration tests and taking the right mitigation steps to avert these events can prevent such outcomes.
Up to recently, compliance alone was one of the biggest drivers for regular IT PEN tests. While there are many other reasons to conduct regular PEN testing, compliance still serves as one that could inhibit the growth or continuation of your operations if it is not met.
Compliance with the right cyber security standards in your industry could mean tendering and winning lucrative contracts, or in more extreme cases continuing to operate legally in certain capacities.
Epic IT can work with your company to achieve IT security compliance levels, such as the NIST and Australian Essential Eight (maturity levels 0 to 3) frameworks.

You may already have noticed that cyber security has become a major topic of conversation during your insurance renewals. And for good reason.
Insurance companies are becoming more diligent and calculated when assessing your company’s risk levels of security breaches. Insurance companies will now limit cover or charge a much higher premium to cover financial losses or business continuity if your organisation cannot demonstrate a strong posture in cyber security.
Regular PEN tests play a key role in a comprehensive cyber security plan. One that will affect your insurance policy on many levels now and in the future.

IT security penetration testing services identify weaknesses in your systems before attackers do. These tests simulate real-world attacks to uncover vulnerabilities across your network, cloud, and infrastructure. For Perth businesses, regular penetration testing services are critical to maintaining compliance, improving resilience, and protecting sensitive data from evolving cyber threats.
As one of Perth’s trusted penetration testing service providers, Epic IT follows a structured process that includes scoping, ethical hacking, vulnerability analysis, and reporting. Our IT security and penetration testing services give you a detailed view of risks within your network, web apps, and cloud systems — plus expert recommendations to strengthen your defences.
Our network penetration testing services evaluate your firewalls, switches, routers, and endpoint devices to identify potential entry points for attackers. Through both automated penetration testing services and manual assessments, we simulate internal and external threats to reveal vulnerabilities that standard scans often miss. Businesses seeking network penetration testing in Perth trust Epic IT for precision and clarity in every engagement.
Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) combines on-demand testing with continuous monitoring. Instead of waiting for annual assessments, Epic IT’s PTaaS model allows Perth organisations to test, review, and remediate vulnerabilities year-round. This proactive approach keeps your systems secure between scheduled audits and supports compliance with insurance or regulatory requirements.
Our Infrastructure penetration testing in Perth focuses on your entire IT environment — servers, endpoints, cloud, and applications — while our network penetration testing in Perth zeroes in on the internal and external network layers. Both are key components of IT security penetration testing, working together to provide a holistic view of your organisation’s cyber resilience.
Cyber threats evolve quickly, so Epic IT recommends conducting penetration testing services at least annually — or after major changes such as new infrastructure, cloud migrations, or software deployments. Regular IT security and penetration testing services not only meet compliance needs but also help Perth organisations maintain a strong, adaptive cybersecurity posture all year long.
