Data breaches are becoming the norm. It is not a question of if you will be hacked, but when.
Your company creates defences with anti-virus software and firewalls, but how often do you test these?
A penetration test from Syn-Star will highlight each of the vulnerabilities in your internal and external devices, while giving you the information to rectify them. This is essential for a complete cyber assessment.
Rectify and fix the gaps before the hackers can exploit them! Any small weakness within your security could be used as leverage by hackers to gain access into your systems.
Our scheduling is fully flexible.
Let us know the day/week you’d like us to perform your penetration test.
Know how these risks affect your organisation and where your organisation stands compared to its peers.
Our pricing is extremely competitive when compared to traditional penetration testing firms, but provides a lot more value with minimal disruption.
Get up to date progress and preliminary results and expected completion dates, device information, and workable reports (Snapshot and Detailed).
All activities tracked, including manual activities conducted. You can download activity logs. This helps organisations make adjustments faster!
The average penetration test takes roughly a week to complete. Once completed, you will receive a detailed report of all weaknesses found.
This provides a great guide for your IT support provider or internal IT team to be able to make changes and improvements.
NOTE: We always recommend a second penetration test or regular testing to ensure you you stay up-to-date and protected.
Cyber attacks and being hacked is the number 1 threat to businesses of all sizes around the globe!
A network penetration test will give you confidence that the products and security controls tested have been configured in accordance with good practice. Knowing the common or publicly-known vulnerabilities in the tested components helps you build the best cyber security shield.
Annual penetration tests are great for GDPR compliance, but hackers operate all year round! Utilise frequent tests and elevated protection with monthly or quarterly automated penetration testing using our vulnerability scanner.
The use of personal devices can be great for maximising productivity. This can allow for work to be undertaken while commuting, or if home-working is required for any reason.
Enabling employees to undertake their job roles away from the office can be great for morale, flexibility, and improving an individual’s work-life balance.
However, this may increase the likelihood of data breaches. You must assume that these devices do not have the same level of security as your business machines.
Running pen testing on your servers, devices, and even cloud backup could help to protect that data, ensuring that access is only granted to specific, authorised individuals.
In short, no. If in doubt, we can schedule your pen test for a time that best suits you. This can give you peace of mind knowing that your security will be improved without affecting your business operations.
Potentially if your network is already slow and your internet connection is not very good, we would usually recommend completing the test out of hours or over a weekend.
No business is too small.
Albeit the prices usually get cheaper per device. So depending on the number of devices will reflect the costs.
Absolutely! We only aim to gain access to test how strong (or weak) your existing security measures are. None of your data will be corrupted or compromised or used in any manner.
[The thing to remember is: If you can be ethically hacked, you can be unethically hacked]

You MUST follow the 7 Data Protection Principles of GDPR:
Team Productivity:
You and your team are able to see where they are using their time and how productive they are actually being. Also they are able to clock in and out, so really good for flexi-working.
Team Monitoring:
If you would like to know what your team is doing and how productive they are being, we are able to monitor them and create screenshots of what they are working on. This can be run in normal or stealth mode.
