While we strictly adhere to industry best practices and quality standards, our services are tailored to each client's unique environment. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all approach and instead we deliver solutions customized to your infrastructure and threat landscape.
What is a penetration test?
A Penetration Test (or pentest) is a simulated cyberattack against your systems using the same tools and tactics as real-world attackers—often incorrectly referred to as "hackers". The purpose is to test how effective your current security controls really are.
In short, we ethically "hack" your systems with full authorization. Our consultants use globally recognized methodologies, including:
- NIST
- OWASP
- PTES
- MITRE ATT&CK
- Proprietary Internal Techniques
- Hands-on Engineering Expertise
- Underground approaches covering all 7 OSI layers nnd the critical 8th layer: The human element
This hybrid methodology ensures complete, in-depth evaluations of both infrastructure and applications.
What sets us apart from other penetration testing companies in Mexico is our commitment to more than delivering a report. We strive to educate both executive and technical teams on the risks, mitigation strategies, and long-term security practices. We also keep you up-to-date with the latest threats and attack vectors.
Penetration Test vs. Ethical Hacking vs. Vulnerability Assessment
Vulnerability Assessment:
Often referred to as Vulnerability Scanning or Vulnerability Testing, this is an automated process that
identifies known vulnerabilities within your network or web applicationss. Tools assign severity levels
(Critical, High, Medium, Low) to help prioritize remediation.
This is typically the first step for organizations that know they have exposures but need help prioritizing them quickly. Many companies also schedule recurring scans (e.g., quarterly) to mantain their strong security posture.
Unlike pentests, vulnerability assessments do not involve exploitation and may produce false positives. A pentest, on the other hand, verifies and exploits findings to determine real-world risk. It often uncoveres issues missed by automated tools.
When to choose a Vulnerability Assessment:
- As preparation for a penetration test to reduce the number of vulnerabilities beforehand
- If you've never conducted a pentest before
- If your budget is limited
- For ongoing internal monitoring between formal assessments
While both serve specific use cases, a pentest provides deeper insights. For a more advanced evaluation, consider engaging in Ethical Hacking.
What Makes Us Different
Our mission at Kolibërs Group is to strengthen the cybersecurity of Mexico’s citizens and its small and medium-sized businesses. We've developed a pricing model that ensures accessibility without compromising quality—because we believe security should be for everyone, not just for those who can afford it.
We test your systems, provide clear remediation steps, and if you confirm fixes within three months, we retest at no additional cost. We verify that patches are correctly implemented and ensure no new vulnerabilities were introduced.
We guide you through the entire process—beyond the report and beyond OWASP Top 10. We uncover deep, business-critical vulnerabilities and help you mitigate them effectively.
Our goal is to elevate your security posture and help your organization achieve—and surpass—its security objectives.
