What an Attacker Would Find, Before They Do
Vulnerability scans and penetration tests that show exactly where your systems could be got into, with clear findings and a plan to close each one, not a report that gets filed and forgotten.
The Challenges You Face
Where Untested Security Becomes a Problem
Most businesses believe their security works. Fewer have actually had someone try to get past it and confirm that’s true.
Security Assumed to Work, But Never Tested
Cyber Essentials Plus Requiring Proof
Vulnerabilities That Build Up Between Checks
No Clear Plan for What a Test Finds
Why Outbound
Why Businesses Trust Outbound to Test Rather Than Assume
Anyone can run a scan and hand over a report. Here’s what changes once testing and fixing it sit with the same team.
Scanning and Testing, Not Just One or the Other
Regular automated vulnerability scanning is paired with deeper, manual penetration testing, so both the broad, frequent check and the focused, in-depth one are covered.
Testing Aligned to What Certification Requires
Where a framework like Cyber Essentials Plus specifies particular testing, what we run is built to satisfy that requirement directly, not a generic test that needs redoing separately.
Findings Prioritised Instead of Listed
Every result is ranked by genuine risk to your business, so you know what needs fixing first rather than working through a list in the order it was generated.
Vendor-Agnostic Testing Tools
We’re not tied to a single scanning platform or testing methodology, so the approach used is chosen for how well it suits your systems instead of what a single vendor sells.
Remediation Support
We help fix what’s found, either directly or by guiding your internal team through it, rather than handing over a document and leaving the rest to you.
Transparent Pricing on Scanning and Testing
No hidden markup on scans, tests, or remediation support. What’s quoted is what’s billed, regardless of how many findings come back.

What Gets Tested, and How Often
Scanning and testing aren’t a once-a-year formality here. Here’s how it actually gets covered.
Frequently Asked Questions
What businesses usually ask before their first scan or test with us.
What’s the difference between vulnerability scanning and penetration testing?
Vulnerability scanning is automated and frequent, checking known weaknesses across your systems on a regular schedule. Penetration testing is manual and deeper, with a tester actively trying to exploit what’s found the way a real attacker would.
How often should we be doing this, rather than just once a year?
It depends on your risk profile and any framework you’re working towards, but vulnerability scanning typically runs far more often than penetration testing, since new weaknesses can appear between annual tests.
We’re working towards Cyber Essentials Plus. Does this cover what’s required?
Yes, testing is built to satisfy what Cyber Essentials Plus and similar frameworks specifically require, so it counts directly towards certification rather than needing separate testing done again.
What happens if the test finds something serious?
We flag it immediately rather than waiting for the final report and help you address it straight away, with the full findings and prioritisation following once testing is complete.
