Security Audits and Penetration Testing
Security audits and penetration tests are among the most effective methods for verifying the practical security level of IT systems and their components. They also represent one of the most frequently performed services by our company. Since our founding in 2010, we have conducted hundreds of security audits and penetration tests for web applications, mobile applications, IT infrastructures, and VoIP systems.
Our audit and testing methodology relies on internationally recognized norms, standards, methodologies, and best security practices, including ISO/IEC 27001, NIST guidelines, OWASP, CIS, as well as our internal Prevenity methodologies.
The professionals overseeing and supervising our audits and tests have extensive industry experience, supported by certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor, CISSP, CISM, CISA, or CRISC.
At Prevenity, we place great emphasis on continuous development and the enhancement of technical expertise. We support this commitment with widely recognized certifications, including OSCP, OSCE, OSWE, and CEH.
Examples of security audits and security (penetration) testing projects completed by our company:
For insights into the quality of our audits and tests, we encourage you to seek opinions from our clients — many of whom can be found in the security departments of nearly all major banks, numerous insurance companies in Poland, and other large organizations operating within the Polish financial sector.
The high quality of our work is also reflected in the fact that the vast majority of our clients have been working with us continuously for many years.
Advisory and Consulting
While security audits and penetration tests help identify vulnerabilities at a relatively late stage of the solution's lifecycle — typically after its development — advisory services enable organizations to prevent many security vulnerabilities before significant financial resources are invested in system development, making their remediation far more cost-effective.
As part of our advisory and consulting services, we also help organizations avoid common configuration errors in operating systems, network service servers, and network/security devices. This is achieved through configuration analyses or the development of configuration templates designed to secure servers against attacks (system hardening).

Incident Response and Digital Forensics
Our extensive experience shows that even the largest budgets and the best teams cannot entirely prevent successful cyberattacks. For most organizations, especially large ones, it's not a question of "if," but "when" they will become victims of a cyberattack or other security incident compromising the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of their information.
Over the past few years, our company has actively managed over ten major security incidents that posed severe threats to the core business operations of our clients. Among the incidents we've handled was one of the largest cyberattacks targeting the banking sector in Poland—the KNF server incident. During this incident, we actively analyzed and countered the attack within two major Polish banks and shared critical information publicly through our published report.
Additionally, we assisted two clients in mitigating the NotPetya attack in mid-2017, conducted investigative and containment actions following an IT system compromise at a large publicly traded company, and managed an incident on-site within hours after a client's DMZ servers in Ukraine were compromised.
We provided support to two Polish Ministries following internet-originated breaches and assisted a large telecom organization with post-breach analysis of compromised servers. We also analyzed dozens of compromised workstations and servers in cooperation with law enforcement, providing digital evidence related to cybercrimes.
Malware Analysis
What if, in a moment of haste or by accident, an employee in your organization opens a document that behaves suspiciously? Or what if an employee hesitates to open an email attachment, uncertain of its origin, but needs to access it for work? Or perhaps your organization's security system detects potentially malicious activity originating from an employee's workstation? How can you identify and confirm the source of an infection? Was it an email attachment that the employee opened? Or a link to a website they previously clicked?
We offer comprehensive malware analysis services involving manual verification of suspicious samples provided by your organization. These samples can be documents, multimedia files, email attachments, or URLs—anything you suspect may have infected or could potentially threaten your systems and organization.
Within an agreed-upon timeframe, we will analyze the sample's behavior and confirm if it is indeed malicious. If malicious activity is detected, we will define Indicators of Compromise (IoC) enabling your organization to identify infected hosts. Additionally, we will develop methods for neutralizing and removing malware from infected systems and propose preventive measures to protect against future infections.
