AI Penetration Testing | Internal & External | SA1 Solutions

AI Penetration Testing

Internal and external penetration testing, powered by our own AI-assisted tooling, for businesses across Swansea, Cardiff and South Wales.

Automated scanners miss context and manual testing does not scale. SA1 Solutions closes that gap with AI penetration testing built on our own custom platform, combining machine-driven coverage with expert human validation. We probe your external attack surface and your internal network the way a real attacker would, chaining weaknesses to show genuine impact, then prioritise every finding by exploitability and business risk so you fix what matters first.

How we test

The AI Penetration Testing Process

A structured, intelligence-led engagement from scope to remediation. Our custom AI tooling handles the heavy lifting across your internal and external attack surface, while our testers direct every exploit and validate every finding.

# 01 · Scoping and rules of engagement

$sa1-pentest init --scope external,internal

[*] defining targets, boundaries, and test windows

[*] confirming written authorisation (Computer Misuse Act 1990)

[+] rules of engagement agreed and signed off

# 02 · Reconnaissance and attack surface mapping

$sa1-recon --external --internal --osint

[*] discovering domains, hosts, and exposed services

[*] mapping the external attack surface and internal network

[+] live assets and entry points catalogued

# 03 · Enumeration and vulnerability analysis

$sa1-scan --enumerate --ai-triage

[*] fingerprinting services, versions, and misconfigurations

[*] AI engine correlates findings and ranks likely exploit paths

[+] candidate vulnerabilities identified, false positives removed

# 04 · Exploitation and attack chaining

$sa1-exploit --chain --supervised

[*] safely validating vulnerabilities with tester oversight

[*] chaining weaknesses to prove real, exploitable impact

[+] confirmed attack paths captured with evidence

# 05 · Post-exploitation and lateral movement

$sa1-postex --privesc --lateral

[*] testing privilege escalation and lateral movement

[*] assessing blast radius and access to critical data

[+] business impact demonstrated, no disruption to production

# 06 · Reporting and remediation

$sa1-report --cvss --retest

[*] every finding scored by exploitability and business risk

[*] clear, prioritised remediation guidance for your team

[+] report delivered, retest included to confirm your fixes

Why test with SA1

Benefits of AI Penetration Testing with SA1 Solutions

A test is only useful if it finds real risk and tells you what to fix. Here is what our AI-assisted, tester-led approach gives you.

REF-01 Detection

Find what scanners miss

Automated scanners flag surface issues. Our AI tooling and testers go further, chaining weaknesses into real, exploitable attack paths that one-off scans and vulnerability tools routinely overlook.

REF-02 Prioritisation

Signal, not noise

Every finding is manually validated and ranked by exploitability and business impact, with CVSS and clear context. You get a short list of what actually matters, not a thousand-line scanner dump.

REF-03 Coverage

Inside and out

We test your external perimeter and your internal network, including assumed-breach scenarios, privilege escalation, and lateral movement, for a complete view of real-world risk.

REF-04 Assurance

Evidence for compliance

Clear, audit-ready reports support ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and cyber insurance or client security requirements, and a retest confirms your fixes actually closed the gaps.

Scope

What we test

From your public perimeter to your internal network, we assess the full attack surface a real adversary would target, external and internal.

TARGET-01

External infrastructure

Public IPs, exposed services, VPNs, email and DNS, tested from the outside the way a real attacker would.

TARGET-02

Internal network

Assumed-breach testing of your internal LAN: segmentation, privilege escalation, and lateral movement.

TARGET-03

Web applications

OWASP Top 10 and beyond: injection, broken access control, authentication, and business logic flaws.

TARGET-04

APIs

REST and GraphQL endpoints tested for broken authorisation, injection, and excessive data exposure.

TARGET-05

Active Directory

AD attack paths: Kerberoasting, credential abuse, misconfigurations, and domain privilege escalation.

TARGET-06

Cloud environments

Azure, AWS, and Microsoft 365 reviewed for IAM weaknesses, misconfigurations, and exposed resources.

Methodology aligned to OWASP PTES MITRE ATT&CK NIST SP 800-115
