What is Automated Penetration Testing?

Automated penetration testing uses sophisticated scripts and tools to simulate real-world cyberattacks on your infrastructure. Our 30 to 60 day license provides a comprehensive assessment of your systems, identifying vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach ensures your organization maintains a strong security posture across all digital assets.

Clone Systems delivers enterprise-grade automated penetration testing that helps organizations meet compliance requirements, protect sensitive data, and strengthen their overall cybersecurity defenses. For organizations requiring ongoing testing throughout the year, bundle packages are available.

This Is NOT Just a Vulnerability Scan

Automated Penetration Testing goes far beyond basic vulnerability scanning. While vulnerability scans simply identify potential weaknesses, our penetration testing actively exploits those vulnerabilities to prove real-world impact.

Vulnerability Scan

Identifies potential security weaknesses

  • ✗ Lists possible vulnerabilities
  • ✗ No exploitation attempts
  • ✗ High false-positive rate
  • ✗ Surface-level assessment
  • ✗ No proof of exploitability

Automated Penetration Test

Proves vulnerabilities are exploitable

  • ✓ Actively exploits vulnerabilities
  • ✓ Validates real-world impact
  • ✓ Confirms exploitability with proof
  • ✓ Deep infrastructure testing
  • ✓ Continuous remediation cycle

The Critical Difference: A vulnerability scan might tell you "SQL injection is possible on your login form." Our automated penetration test actually performs the SQL injection, extracts sample data, and proves the severity of the breach—then provides specific remediation steps to fix it. This is what compliance frameworks like PCI DSS require: validated penetration testing, not just scanning.

External & Internal Automated Penetration Testing

External Penetration Testing

Simulates attacks from outside your network perimeter. Our automated scripts test your public-facing assets including websites, web applications, APIs, mail servers, and cloud infrastructure. Identifies vulnerabilities visible to external threat actors before they can be exploited.

Internal Penetration Testing

Deployed as a virtual machine within your network to assess internal security. Critical for PCI DSS compliance and other regulatory frameworks. Identifies vulnerabilities in internal systems, databases, and applications that external testing cannot reach.

Comprehensive Framework Alignment

Clone Systems' automated penetration testing aligns with hundreds of cybersecurity and compliance frameworks, ensuring your organization meets industry standards and regulatory requirements.

PCI DSS
GDPR
NIST CSF
ISO 27001
SOC 2
HIPAA
FedRAMP
OWASP Top 10
CIS Controls
CMMC

Plus dozens more industry-specific frameworks and security standards

How Our Automated Penetration Testing Works

A comprehensive 30-60 day assessment cycle to identify and remediate vulnerabilities

Scoping & Discovery

Define test boundaries and map your infrastructure, identifying all systems, services, and assets to be tested.

Vulnerability Assessment

Comprehensive automated scanning identifies security weaknesses, misconfigurations, and compliance gaps across your infrastructure.

Exploitation

Safely validate vulnerabilities by attempting controlled exploits to confirm real-world impact without damaging systems.

Risk Determination

Analyze and prioritize findings based on severity, exploitability, and potential business impact to focus remediation efforts.

Reporting & Guidance

Receive detailed compliance-mapped reports with clear remediation steps, risk ratings, and technical guidance for your team.

Remediation

Your team implements fixes based on our guidance, patching vulnerabilities and strengthening security controls.

CloneGuard Testing Cycle

After remediation, testing cycles back to Vulnerability Assessment to verify fixes and achieve a passing test within your 30-60 day license period. For ongoing testing throughout the year, bundle packages are available.

Comprehensive Coverage

Test your entire infrastructure with automated scripts that simulate real-world attack scenarios across all critical systems, both external and internal.

Rapid Execution

Complete penetration tests in hours instead of weeks, with automated processes that deliver fast, actionable insights without disrupting your operations.

Compliance-Ready Reports

Receive detailed vulnerability assessments mapped to PCI DSS, ISO 27001, NIST, and other frameworks with prioritized remediation guidance for audit readiness.

Flexible Licensing

30-60 day license period provides comprehensive vulnerability assessment and remediation verification. Bundle packages available for organizations requiring ongoing testing throughout the year.

Safe & Non-Disruptive

Our automated testing operates safely in production environments, using controlled exploitation techniques that validate vulnerabilities without causing system damage.

PCI DSS Compliance

Internal and external automated penetration testing specifically designed to meet PCI DSS requirements, with comprehensive testing and detailed compliance reports for merchant certification.

Understanding the CloneGuard Testing Cycle

The CloneGuard Testing Cycle is Clone Systems' proprietary continuous security assessment methodology that ensures your infrastructure remains protected throughout your license period. Unlike traditional one-time penetration tests, our cycle-based approach provides ongoing verification and improvement.

How the Cycle Works: After completing the initial six-phase assessment (Scoping & Discovery → Vulnerability Assessment → Exploitation → Risk Determination → Reporting & Guidance → Remediation), the process automatically cycles back to Vulnerability Assessment. This creates a continuous loop of testing, fixing, and retesting that continues throughout your 30-60 day license period.

Why Continuous Cycling Matters: Many organizations discover that initial remediation efforts don't fully resolve all vulnerabilities, or that fixing one issue inadvertently creates new security gaps. The CloneGuard Testing Cycle catches these scenarios by immediately retesting your environment after each remediation phase. This ensures you achieve a true "passing" security posture before your license period ends.

Benefits of the Cyclical Approach:

  • Validation of Fixes: Confirms that remediation efforts actually resolved the identified vulnerabilities
  • Discovery of New Issues: Identifies any new vulnerabilities introduced during the remediation process
  • Compliance Verification: Demonstrates to auditors that security issues were not only identified but properly resolved
  • Risk Reduction: Progressively reduces your attack surface with each cycle iteration
  • Knowledge Transfer: Your team learns from each cycle, improving their security practices over time

Achieving a Passing Test: The goal of the CloneGuard Testing Cycle is to reach a state where vulnerability assessments return minimal or no critical/high-severity findings. Most organizations complete 2-4 full cycles during their license period, with each iteration bringing them closer to this passing threshold. Organizations that require continuous security assurance throughout the year can take advantage of our bundle packages for year-round protection.

Real-World Impact: This cyclical methodology aligns with industry best practices from NIST, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001, all of which recommend regular retesting after remediation. The CloneGuard Testing Cycle automates this best practice, ensuring you maintain continuous compliance and security improvement without manual scheduling or coordination.
