Modern IT infrastructures are becoming increasingly complex, and every new interface offers potential attack surfaces. Often, there is a false sense of security until a real incident paralyzes operations or sensitive data is leaked. For Swiss SMEs, the financial and reputational consequences of a data breach are often existential threats.
Our Penetration Test addresses exactly this: we simulate real-world cyberattacks on your systems, identify vulnerabilities in your defenses, and assess the actual risk. Instead of relying on vague hopes, you receive a detailed expert report with clear priorities and concrete recommendations for action.
Internet Pentest
Web security audit
From CHF 2,000
For SMEs that want to secure their publicly accessible systems (websites, portals, email servers) against external attacks. We identify vulnerabilities in your internet presence and check whether unauthorized persons could gain access to internal data or server services – including a clear prioritization of risks.
WLAN Pentest
Security of your wireless networks
From CHF 2,000
For companies that want to ensure their corporate Wi-Fi isn’t a gateway for on-site hackers. We check the encryption, authentication methods, and the separation of guest and corporate networks. We reveal whether attackers can use radio waves to intercept passwords or penetrate deep into the network.
Custom Pentest
Customized in-depth audit
Project-based
For companies with complex infrastructures, specific applications, or critical systems that require a tailored analysis. Whether it is internal network audits, cloud environments, or Active Directory security – we simulate targeted attack scenarios according to your requirements, including on-site testing and detailed root-cause analysis.
For many SMEs in Switzerland, the increasing professionalism of cybercriminals poses an existential threat. Standard security measures are often no longer enough to fend off complex attack scenarios. At the same time, you often lack the internal time or specialized hacking expertise to objectively test your own infrastructure for vulnerabilities.
Our Penetration Tests provide exactly this clarity: we take the perspective of an attacker and put your systems, networks, and web applications through their paces. As a specialized partner, we help Swiss companies identify security gaps before they can be exploited by third parties.
You benefit from our methodical approach: depending on your needs, we conduct targeted spot checks (Internet/Wi-Fi) or comprehensive custom audits of your entire IT landscape. You receive a detailed expert report including a risk assessment and concrete remediation proposals—for maximum security without flying blind.
In this way, companies not only secure effective protection against data loss and ransomware but also meet increasing compliance requirements (such as the new nDSG) and build trust with customers and partners.
With us, a penetration test does not end with a list of error messages. Many companies face the challenge of technically evaluating the vulnerabilities found and setting the right priorities for remediation. Deep-seated knowledge is often missing to address complex security risks strategically.
Our security consulting as part of the pentest helps firms understand the test results and derive targeted measures. We advise you on critical findings in the cloud, the network, or web applications and create a clear roadmap for closing the gaps. This provides you with concrete recommendations for action that sustainably increase your security without making unnecessary investments.
Continuous verification of IT security is crucial for SMEs, as threat landscapes change daily. One-time setups quickly become outdated, and conventional security tools often fail to detect logical errors in system architecture. Internal IT teams are usually busy with operations and are not specialized in offensive attack methodologies.
Our Pentest Service takes on this offensive role: we test servers, workstations, and interfaces using the tools of modern hackers. Through this proactive audit, misconfigurations and gateways are identified early—vulnerabilities that often go unnoticed during normal system administration. This ensures that your infrastructure not only “works” but also withstands a real attack—including detailed documentation for your compliance (nDSG / ISO).
With the new Swiss Data Protection Act (nDSG), the requirements for technical security have increased significantly. Companies are obligated to ensure the protection of personal data according to the current state of the art. Simple antivirus protection is often no longer sufficient to minimize liability risks for management.
Our compliance audits via pentest provide you with the necessary proof of the effectiveness of your protective measures. We specifically check whether unauthorized third parties could gain access to sensitive customer data. You receive audit-proof documentation that you can present to authorities, auditors, or cyber insurance providers as evidence of your due diligence.
Your website or customer portal is often the first target for automated attacks. Vulnerabilities such as SQL injection or Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) allow attackers to steal user data or take control of your entire web infrastructure. Standard scans often overlook complex logical errors in the code.
We perform in-depth web application pentests that go far beyond automated scans. We manually put APIs, logins, and database connections through their paces. The result is a solid shield for your digital presence, ensuring your business stays online and your customers’ trust remains intact.
Most devastating ransomware attacks start small, for example, through a phishing email. However, the real problem is “lateral movement”—the ability of an attacker to spread within your network from an infected PC to the domain controller. Often, companies only realize weeks later that someone is active in their internal network.
Our internal pentest simulates the scenario of an already compromised workstation or a malicious insider. We reveal how far an attacker could get in your local network and which critical resources (file servers, ERP, backups) are insufficiently protected. In this way, we prevent a local incident from turning into a global catastrophe for your company.
Technically, your firewalls can be perfectly configured—but if an employee clicks on the wrong link or reveals sensitive access data over the phone, all hurdles are cleared. Cybercriminals use psychological tricks to bypass security mechanisms.
With our social engineering simulations, we test your team’s alertness under real-world but controlled conditions. Whether through targeted phishing campaigns or physical access attempts on-site: we show you where there is a need for training. Rather than just lecturing, we create a “human firewall” through practical experience that actively helps defend your company.
At IT Security Switzerland, long-standing leadership experience meets specialized technical expertise. With a foundation of over 15 years of experience in senior IT positions, we accompany companies as an established team in the areas of network security, cloud security, and Zero Trust.
We know what matters in practice: we analyze your specific requirements and develop tailored solutions that combine security and efficiency. Our goal is not only to protect your IT infrastructure but to optimize it together with you and position it for the future.
In doing so, we rely on practical consulting and implementation to achieve the maximum level of security and performance for you.
