Uncover What Threat Actor Could Achieve, Once Inside Your Internal Networks
Internal infrastructure penetration test goes beyond external defences, simulating what a real threat actor could achieve if they were to gain access to your internal business network. At CypherLeap, we methodically enumerate your internal systems, applications, and configurations to uncover hidden vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that could allow an attacker to escalate privileges, move laterally, and ultimately gain control over critical assets or sensitive data.
By mimicking an insider threat or a persistent attacker who has breached the perimeter, our assessment provides your business a crucial understanding of your internal security posture, revealing what a threat actor could achieve once inside your internal networks.
Our Offensive Security Services team will execute test scenarios outlined by Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES), Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common (MITRE ATT&CK, Enterprise Matrix), and/or NIST Special Publication 800-115 to identify hidden weaknesses.
Assessment Models & Threat Simulation Levels
Assessment may be conducted using either a Black-Box approach, or Grey-Box approach
- Black-Box Assessment
- Grey-Box Assessment
Assessment in which the testing team will have no prior knowledge about the targeted environment, systems and endpoints.
Assessment in which the testing team will have very limited knowledge about the targeted environment, systems, endpoints, and may require walkthrough or guidance from one of your technical team.
- Authenticated
- Un-Authenticated
CypherLeap may request access to targeted user roles within the organisation to identify vulnerabilities from an authenticated user’s point of view. This allows your business to better understand associated risks and identify potential privilege escalation pathways.
The unauthenticated testing approach provides your business with visibility into what a potential threat actor could access and/or compromise with only access to the agreed testing scope.

Your internal network is your last line of defense and your most valuable. CypherLeap’s Internal Infrastructure Penetration Test helps you:
• Reduce the blast radius of successful perimeter breaches
• Identify insider threats and lateral attack pathways
• Comply with regulations like ISO 27001, NIST, PCI-DSS
• Strengthen internal controls before attackers exploit them
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of systems do you test internally?
We assess everything from employee workstations, servers, printers, file shares, databases, internal portals, and Active Directory to legacy systems and industrial controls (where applicable).
Do I need to give access to domain credentials?
Not necessarily. We can test from both authenticated and unauthenticated perspectives, based on the agreed scope. Authenticated tests offer deeper insights into privilege escalation and role-based risks.
What access do you need for internal testing?
Depending on the scope, we may need VPN access, a jump host, or physical presence at a site. We also support remote internal testing via virtual appliances or cloud-based test setups.
