A Poor Penetration Test
- ❌ Superficial:
- Relies Mainly on Automated Tools Without Considering Specific Company Contexts
- ❌ One-sided:
- The Test Is Limited to General Attack Vectors Without Considering Individual Risk Factors
- ❌ Outdated methods:
- No Use of Modern Attack Techniques and Insufficient Consideration of New and Current Security Vulnerabilities
- ❌ Blind trust in tools:
- Foregoes Manual Checks, Leading to Inaccurate or Incorrect Results
- ❌ Unstructured reports:

CCNet has been a long-standing partner to us, taking care of our network and server infrastructure and providing the related maintenance and support services. CCNet has also assisted us with documenting the implementation and fulfilment of all GDPR guidelines in all departments of our firm – a mammoth project that would probably have taken us years to complete alone!
CCNet helps us to concentrate on our core tasks and use our time to make our clients happy!
During a workshop in the auditorium at our school, we were once again provided with a wealth of interesting, exciting information about data security and cyber crime. Pupils and teachers were presented with realistic, concrete situations to impart valuable knowledge on topics such as phishing emails and Big Data. It was clear from the pupils’ questions that the event was keeping up with the times. After the event, everyone was able to reflect on their own digital behaviours and go home with improved digital expertise. Our pupils are already looking forward to the next event!

We have grown with CCNet for over 20 years and can always rely on them to operate a highly failsafe, state-of-the-art IT landscape. The support they offer, from the ticket system to the on-site technician service, is perfectly suited to our needs.... Thanks to the joint development of a security architecture, in-house seminars and GDPR support, we feel that we are in good hands – both now and in the future.
We truly value working and communicating with pleasant partners on an equal footing!
