Sophos External Pen Test Advisory Services

Reduce uncertainty around your internet-facing security posture with Sophos Advisory Services for external penetration testing in an extra small scope. This engagement is built for organizations that need a focused assessment of externally reachable assets, without the overhead of a large-scale testing program. External pen testing helps security teams see the environment the way an attacker would: from the outside in. That perspective is valuable when you need to verify exposed services, identify weak points in perimeter controls, and turn findings into a practical remediation plan. For smaller environments, an extra small engagement can provide the right level of coverage while keeping scope, scheduling, and cost tightly controlled. This advisory service is especially useful when preparing for audits, validating changes to public-facing infrastructure, or establishing a baseline before expanding security testing across a broader footprint. It supports procurement decisions where the goal is not just to buy a test, but to buy clarity: clear findings, clear priorities, and a clear path to reducing external risk.
