Endpoint Security Testing

Testing whether the security controls on your workstations and laptops would actually detect and stop an attacker.

What is endpoint security testing?

Endpoint security testing checks whether the protections on your workstations and laptops genuinely work. Endpoints are a frequent entry point for attackers, so the aim is to validate that detection, hardening and policy controls would stop or flag malicious activity, not simply that software is installed.

What we test

  • EDR and antivirus: whether endpoint detection and response or antivirus detects and blocks malicious activity.
  • Hardening: whether unnecessary features, services and accounts are removed or restricted.
  • Configuration policy: whether security settings are enforced consistently across devices.
  • Privilege and access: whether users hold only the rights they need and local admin is controlled.
  • Bypass resistance: whether common evasion and tampering techniques are detected.

Who needs it

Organisations with a fleet of laptops and workstations, especially those supporting remote or hybrid working, or any business wanting assurance that its endpoint controls perform under real attack conditions.

What the process looks like

We scope the engagement with you and agree which devices and techniques are in scope. We then test the endpoints against realistic attacker behaviour and observe how the controls respond. You receive a clear report with findings and prioritised remediation.
