Astra's 7-Step Pentest Process
Our 7-step process audits your systems end-to-end, from network to applications, mapping vulnerabilities and compliance gaps with expert-led, actionable insights.
Every pentest our security engineers perform feeds back into our DAST vulnerability scanner.
That means we're not just relying on known CVEs - we're continuously learning
from real-world hacks performed during pentests.

An IT security audit is a structured evaluation of your tech environment, policies, and controls to check how well they protect against risks and meet compliance. It typically reviews firewalls, access controls, passwords, governance, and third-party arrangements.
A security audit reviews policies, documentation, and infrastructure without actively exploiting systems. Whereas a vulnerability scan automatically flags known weaknesses, penetration testing goes further, simulating real attacks to exploit them.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Many perform full audits annually or biannually, with some doing quarterly internal or automated checks. Industries with strict rules (e.g., HIPAA, SOX, PCI) often require more frequent reviews.
Testing can affect live systems if unmanaged. The risk is minimized by scheduling off-peak times, using read-only or sandbox environments, careful planning, and clear rollback strategies so your production stays stable.
