FAQ's

Common Questions about Host Configuration

How do we know that you offer a high quality service?

Our cybersecurity specialists have been working in this field for quite some. In addition, we follow strict guidelines and methodologies to ensure that our product is state-of-the-art.

Is it better to conduct the assessment in the production environment or a pre-production one?

There is no single answer, as it must be determined according to your priorities. On one hand, performing a penetration test in the pre-production environment is interesting because it is very similar to the final environment, and the tests will not affect the services used by your users/customers. On the other hand, conducting a penetration test in the production environment has the advantage of being done under the real conditions of use of your product, with the latest developments implemented.

Do you fix the vulnerabilities you find?

The audit report contains technical suggestions for corrective measures. The fixes to be applied are detailed flaw by flaw, which is useful for developers to implement directly. Hawktesters does not fix the identified vulnerabilities and leaves the technical teams to perform the remediation. Hawktesters offers to verify that the remediation has been implemented correctly without generating negative effects on other elements.

What technologies do you test?

Being a pentester (security consultant) is a profession that involves knowing several languages in order to test them. Moreover, many vulnerabilities are not related to a specific technology, but exist in most languages. For any testing inquiries about a particular technology, do not hesitate to contact us.
