Network & Application Penetration Testing

Authorised, real-world attack simulations against your networks, web apps, APIs and mobile apps β€” so you find the gaps before an attacker does.

Overview

As Kenyan banks, fintechs, SACCOs, and e-commerce platforms push more of their operations online β€” often integrating directly with M-PESA, card processors, and third-party APIs β€” the attack surface grows with every new integration. Firewalls and antivirus software are not enough to know whether that attack surface is actually exploitable. Network and application penetration testing answers that question directly: our security engineers attempt to break into your systems the same way a real attacker would, under a controlled, legally authorised engagement, so you find out where you're exposed before someone with worse intentions does.

We test across the full stack that matters to a modern East African business β€” internal and external network infrastructure, customer-facing web applications, REST and mobile APIs, and Android/iOS apps β€” using a mix of automated scanning and manual, human-led exploitation, because the vulnerabilities that actually get businesses breached are usually the ones automated scanners miss. Every engagement concludes with a detailed report that goes beyond a raw vulnerability list: each finding is risk-rated against your specific business context, mapped to a plain-language explanation of real-world impact, and paired with concrete, prioritised remediation steps your development or IT team can act on immediately.

What's Included

  • Scoping workshop to define target systems, testing windows, and rules of engagement in writing
  • External and internal network penetration testing across servers, firewalls, and infrastructure
  • Web application testing aligned to the OWASP Top 10 and business-logic abuse cases
  • API security testing covering authentication, authorisation, and data exposure flaws
  • Mobile application testing for Android and iOS covering client-side and backend weaknesses
  • A full findings report with CVSS-based risk ratings, evidence, and reproduction steps
  • A prioritised, plain-language remediation roadmap for your technical and management teams
  • Optional retest once fixes are deployed, to confirm vulnerabilities are actually closed

Our Process

1
Scoping & Authorisation
We agree the exact systems in scope, testing windows, and get formal written authorisation before any testing begins.
2
Reconnaissance & Scanning
Automated and manual discovery of exposed assets, services, and potential entry points across the agreed scope.
3
Manual Exploitation
Our engineers attempt real exploitation of identified weaknesses, mirroring the techniques a genuine attacker would use.
4
Reporting & Remediation Support
A risk-rated report is delivered with a walkthrough session, followed by support as your team implements fixes.

Who This Is For

  • Banks, SACCOs and fintechs processing customer funds or sensitive financial data
  • E-commerce and retail businesses handling card payments or M-PESA integrations
  • Organisations preparing for ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, or regulator-mandated security assessments
  • Companies about to launch a new customer-facing app or API and want it tested before go-live
  • Any business that has never had an independent, adversarial security test performed on its systems

Why DollarEdge

  • Manual, human-led testing that goes beyond automated scan results to find real, exploitable business risk
  • Findings translated into plain-language business impact, not just technical jargon a board cannot act on
  • Deep familiarity with the regional technology stack β€” M-PESA integrations, local banking APIs, and East African hosting environments
  • A remediation-first report designed to be actioned by your team, not filed away unread
