Cyber Defense
Wireless security testing services exist because your network has an edge you cannot see. Every access point radiates past the walls, and the attacker who uses it never signs the visitor book. The question is not whether your Wi-Fi has a password; it is what someone within radio range can reach without one.
We test from where an attacker would actually sit (outside the building, in the lobby, in the shared floor above) and then from the inside as a guest and as an employee. That covers the authentication itself, what the guest network can see, whether an access point announcing your network name is really yours, and how much of your estate is one associated device away.
The scope extends past Wi-Fi. Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy peripherals, wireless keyboards and presentation clickers, badge readers, and the proprietary radio links in building systems are all part of the perimeter and are almost never tested. Where those devices are industrial, the work continues into OT and IoT security.
Why you need it
01 / 06Physical access control assumes an attacker has to get in. A directional antenna in the car park removes that assumption, and no amount of door hardware helps. Coverage bleed is measurable and almost always larger than the facilities drawing suggests.
Devices remember networks and reconnect to a familiar name automatically. A rogue access point announcing that name, or a captive portal that looks like yours, collects credentials from people doing nothing wrong. Detecting this requires wireless monitoring most estates do not have.
The guest SSID is meant to reach the internet and nothing else. In practice we find it sharing a VLAN with printers, reaching the management interfaces of the access points themselves, or resolving internal DNS, which is enough to map the estate before anyone authenticates.
WPA2 and WPA3 Enterprise are strong when the client validates the server certificate. When validation is not enforced by policy, an attacker stands up a lookalike authentication server and collects domain credentials from every laptop that walks past.
Instrument
02 / 06The same site survey, twice: the automated list of networks and weaknesses, and the two findings that combine into a credential.
What we deliver
03 / 06Every network broadcasting in and around your premises, their encryption and authentication configuration, signal reach beyond the building envelope, and the networks present that you do not own, including a neighbour's access point your devices have been associating with.
WPA2 and WPA3 Personal against captured handshakes and realistic password policy, and Enterprise deployments against the failure that matters: whether clients validate the RADIUS server certificate, and what an evil-twin authentication server harvests when they do not.
Unauthorised access points on your wired network, devices impersonating your network name, and (with authorisation, in a controlled window) a rogue of our own, to measure whether your wireless infrastructure or your users notice.
From an associated guest device: what is reachable, what resolves, whether client isolation is enforced between guests, and whether the access point and controller management interfaces are exposed to the network they serve. Then the same from an employee device.
Discoverable devices, pairing and bonding weaknesses, unauthenticated BLE characteristics that expose data or accept writes, and wireless input peripherals vulnerable to injection or eavesdropping.
Client configuration and certificate validation policy on managed devices, pre-shared key rotation and who knows the current one, onboarding for personal devices, and whether anything in your estate would generate an alert when a rogue appears.
How we run it
04 / 06Locations, networks and device classes in scope, testing windows, and written permission from whoever controls the premises, essential in shared or leased buildings, where neighbouring networks are explicitly out of bounds.
Week 0Listening only. Networks, clients, encryption, coverage and signal reach from inside and from realistic external positions. Nothing is transmitted, and this alone frequently identifies a network nobody meant to be broadcasting.
Day 1Handshake capture and offline analysis, Enterprise certificate-validation testing, and, where authorised, a controlled rogue access point in an agreed window, aimed at named test devices rather than at your staff at large.
Days 2-3Associated as a guest, then as an employee: segmentation, isolation, reachable services, management interface exposure, and the route from a wireless client to anything that matters.
Days 3-4Findings with location, access point and evidence, ranked by what they reach, with configuration-level fixes for your wireless controller. Re-tested after remediation.
Day 5, then after fixesKey benefits
05 / 06Measured coverage beyond the building, with the access points and power settings responsible, a finding you can act on the same week.
Isolation and segmentation verified from an associated device rather than assumed from the controller configuration, with the reachable services enumerated and closed.
Certificate validation enforced on managed clients, so an evil twin collects nothing worth having even when it works perfectly.
