Endpoint and Workstation Testing

Endpoint security. Tested under real conditions.

Workstations and laptops are the most common entry point for attackers. Our certified testers assess your endpoint configurations, security controls, and privilege escalation paths to confirm that a compromised device cannot become a gateway to your entire network.

What We Test

Every endpoint vulnerability. Identified and rated.

Our endpoint testing covers the full range of workstation attack techniques used by real-world threat actors.

Privilege Escalation Testing

We test for local and domain privilege escalation paths including misconfigured services, unquoted service paths, weak file permissions, and token impersonation.

Local Admin EscalationToken ImpersonationService Abuse

Antivirus and EDR Bypass

Assessment of your endpoint detection controls. We test whether your AV and EDR solutions can detect and respond to real-world attack techniques.

AV EvasionEDR TestingAMSI Bypass

Local Security Configuration Review

Review of endpoint security configurations including AppLocker, Windows Defender settings, PowerShell execution policies, and local firewall rules.

Credential Harvesting Assessment

Testing for credential exposure on endpoints including cached credentials, browser-stored passwords, credential manager entries, and plaintext secrets in files.

Cached CredentialsBrowser PasswordsCredential Manager

Lateral Movement from Endpoint

Simulation of post-compromise lateral movement from a compromised workstation, testing whether an attacker could pivot to servers, domain controllers, or other endpoints.

Removable Media and Physical Port Testing

Assessment of USB and removable media controls, autorun policies, and physical port restrictions to prevent data exfiltration and malware introduction.

How It Works

A structured methodology. Actionable results.

Every endpoint test follows a rigorous process. You know exactly what we are doing, when we are doing it, and what you will receive at the end.

01

Scoping and Test Environment Setup

We agree the target endpoints, test accounts, and any restrictions. A representative device is provided or accessed remotely for testing.

02

Baseline Configuration Review

Review of endpoint configuration, installed software, security controls, and group policy settings before active testing begins.

03

Local Vulnerability Assessment

Identification of local vulnerabilities including unpatched software, misconfigured services, and weak security controls.

04

Exploitation and Privilege Escalation

Controlled exploitation of identified vulnerabilities to demonstrate privilege escalation, credential access, and lateral movement potential.

05

Reporting and Risk Rating

A clear report with executive summary, technical findings, risk ratings, and prioritised remediation guidance for your IT team.

06

Remediation Support and Retest

We remain available during your remediation window and provide a free retest of all critical and high findings once fixes are deployed.

Real Results

How we have helped UK businesses stay secure.

Professional Services Firm

A 150-person accountancy firm needed endpoint testing after a staff member fell victim to a phishing attack that installed malware on their workstation.

Three privilege escalation paths identified and closed. Endpoint hardening policy deployed across all devices.

Technology Company

A UK software company needed endpoint security testing as part of their ISO 27001 certification process.

Endpoint findings documented and remediated. ISO 27001 certification achieved on first attempt.

Retail Business

A multi-site UK retailer needed workstation testing to confirm that point-of-sale systems were properly hardened and isolated.

Two critical misconfigurations resolved. PCI DSS compliance maintained across all sites.
