Key benefits of SecurScan
Real-world perspective, not just scan output
- Skilled testers use attacker-like techniques (within defined rules of engagement) to validate what’s actually exploitable.
- Internal and external testing show how far a compromise can go from both the internet and inside your network.
- Vulnerability assessments tie together findings from multiple systems into a coherent risk picture.
Full coverage across people, process, and technology
- External Pen Tests – Identify exposed services, weak controls, and internet-facing risks.
- Internal Pen Tests – Assess lateral movement, privilege escalation, and internal segmentation once an attacker is “inside.”
- Vulnerability Assessments – Systematic identification and prioritization of technical weaknesses.
- Remote Social Engineering/Phishing – Measure how users respond to realistic phishing attempts and social-engineering techniques.
Actionable, prioritized remediation guidance
- Clear, prioritized findings with impact, likelihood, and recommended fixes—not just “here’s a CVE list.”
- Strategic issues (architecture, segmentation, process) highlighted alongside tactical fixes (patches, config changes).
- Mapping to common frameworks and regulatory requirements (e.g., PCI DSS, HIPAA, GLBA, SOX, cyber insurance expectations).
Testing that fits your business reality
- Well-defined rules of engagement respecting your uptime, maintenance windows, and sensitive systems.
- Options for light-touch testing in production or deeper testing in controlled environments, based on risk tolerance.
- Debriefs designed for both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders.
“SecurScan gave us a clear, prioritized list of issues and the context to fix them—far beyond a checkbox pen test.”
How SecurScan works
SecurScan from DataComm brings together Internal Penetration Testing, External Penetration Testing, Vulnerability Assessments, and Remote Social Engineering/Phishing into a cohesive testing program. You get a realistic view of how an attacker might approach your environment—and a prioritized roadmap to close the gaps.
Define scope & rules of engagement
We start with business and regulatory drivers for testing (compliance, cyber insurance, internal policy, M&A), in-scope networks, applications, user groups, and locations, and testing windows, escalation paths, and “no-go” boundaries. From there, we finalize a plan that balances realism with safety.
External penetration testing
Our testers enumerate your internet-facing footprint (domains, IP ranges, cloud services, VPN portals, remote access), identify exposed services, misconfigurations, and potential entry points, and safely attempt exploitation within agreed boundaries to validate risk and potential impact.
Internal penetration testing
Operating from an internal perspective (onsite or via secure remote access), we simulate what an attacker could do after gaining a foothold: pivoting, privilege escalation, credential reuse, and data access; evaluate segmentation, monitoring, and response capabilities; and demonstrate realistic attack paths from low-privileged foothold to high-value targets, where allowed by scope.
Vulnerability assessments
Using a combination of automated tools and manual validation, we discover systems and services (on-prem, cloud, and remote-access where in scope), identify vulnerabilities, missing patches, weak configurations, and exposed services, and validate and de-duplicate findings to avoid overwhelming your teams with noise.
Remote social engineering & phishing
Within clear guardrails and approvals, we conduct targeted phishing simulations designed to test user awareness and control effectiveness, measure click rates, credential submission tendencies, and reporting behavior, and provide user-friendly feedback and recommendations for awareness improvements—without shaming individuals.
Reporting, debrief, and roadmap
You receive a consolidated report covering all in-scope testing components, an executive summary, technical detail, proof-of-concept examples (where appropriate), and a prioritized remediation plan, plus a live debrief session with your teams to walk through findings, answer questions, and align on next steps.
What you get with SecurScan
The DataComm Advantage
SecurScan isn’t a one-off checkbox—it’s a partnership to continuously improve your security posture.
Holistic approach
We combine pen testing, vulnerability assessment, and social engineering into a single, coherent story.
Experienced testers
Engagements are executed by security professionals who understand real-world attacker behavior and enterprise constraints.
Practical remediation focus
We prioritize fixes that are realistic for your team to implement, given tools, staffing, and business constraints.
Long-term perspective
We can help you build an annual or multi-year testing program, not just a one-time test.
