Precursor Security delivers CREST-accredited penetration testing in Exeter and across Devon, covering web applications, external and internal infrastructure, cloud, and wireless.

CREST-accredited penetration testing for Exeter and Devon: web applications, infrastructure, cloud, and wireless. Remote-first delivery keeps costs sharp, with planned on-site days across the South West when testing needs to happen inside your network.
National-grade testing for the
South West.
Exeter anchors a South West economy that includes one of the world's leading climate and data science institutions, a strong professional services and insurance base, two universities, and a wide small-and-mid-sized business community that increasingly sells into regulated supply chains. Many South West organisations have historically had to choose between local generalists and London firms with London day rates. We close that gap: CREST-accredited testing delivered remotely where the work allows it, with structured on-site days in Exeter and across Devon when it does not.
Who We Test In Exeter
Testing scoped to the sectors that define Exeter's economy, because a meaningful penetration test starts from who actually attacks businesses like yours, and what they are after.
How We Reach You
Exeter is served from our Leeds headquarters. Remote-first delivery for the South West, with on-site days in Exeter scheduled as planned engagements.
CREST-Accredited, Verifiably
Precursor Security holds CREST organisational accreditation for penetration testing, independently audited across methodology, QA, and tester competency. Every engagement letter carries our membership number for direct verification by your auditors, insurers, or customers.
No Travel Games. No Scanner Reports. No Offshoring.
Exeter clients get the same team, methodology, and day rate as our London and Leeds clients: manual testing by employed, UK-based CREST Registered Testers, fixed quotes agreed at scoping, immediate escalation of critical findings, and free retesting of everything you fix. External, web, and cloud testing delivered remotely with no travel cost; on-site internal and wireless days in Exeter and Devon scheduled in advance.
Every Test,
Delivered In Exeter.
The full offensive security portfolio is available to Exeter organisations. Each service links to its full methodology, and every engagement ends with reporting your engineers can action and your auditors can file.
Web Application Penetration Testing Exeter
Manual, CREST-accredited testing of the web applications and APIs your Exeter business depends on. Full OWASP coverage plus the business logic and access control flaws automated scanners miss, with free retesting of every finding.
Internal & External Network Testing Exeter
External testing of your internet-facing perimeter, and internal testing that maps what an attacker could reach once inside: Active Directory attack paths, lateral movement, and privilege escalation. On-site delivery in Exeter.
Cloud Penetration Testing Exeter
Configuration review and attack-path testing across AWS, Azure, Microsoft 365, and GCP. We find the identity misconfigurations, exposed storage, and over-privileged roles that cause most real cloud breaches.
Wireless Network Testing Exeter
On-site assessment of your wireless estate in Exeter: rogue access point detection, segregation between guest and corporate networks, and attacks against enterprise authentication.
Mobile Application Testing Exeter
iOS and Android application assessments covering insecure storage, API trust boundaries, and platform hardening, for Exeter businesses shipping mobile products or internal apps.
Cyber Essentials & Compliance Exeter
Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification, ISO 27001 support, and PCI DSS testing for Exeter organisations that need recognised certification alongside technical assurance.
Threat Detection & Response for Exeter, 24/7.
A penetration test proves what an attacker could do today. Our UK Security Operations Centre watches for the ones who try tomorrow: managed detection and response, a CREST-accredited SOC, and incident response for Exeter organisations, delivered entirely from UK soil.
Explore Defensive SecurityHow Engagements Run In Exeter.
From first call to free retest. Every Exeter engagement is managed by a named account manager with direct access to the testing team, no ticket queues between you and the people doing the work.
Scoping & Fixed Quote
A free scoping call, usually within 24 hours of your enquiry, where a technical consultant (not a salesperson) defines what needs testing, agrees the approach, and produces a fixed quote. Exeter clients can scope by video call or, where practical, in person via our Leeds headquarters.
Testing In Exeter
CREST Registered Testers execute the engagement during agreed windows: remote phases for external, web, and cloud testing, and on-site or appliance-based delivery for internal and wireless work in Exeter. You get daily progress updates, and critical findings are escalated immediately rather than saved for the report.
Reporting Built for Two Audiences
Every report contains an executive summary your board and customers can read, and a technical annex your engineers can action: reproduction steps, evidence, CVSS scoring, and specific remediation guidance. Reports are quality-assured before delivery and structured for auditors, insurers, and customer due diligence reviews.
Debrief & Free Retesting
A full debrief walks your team through findings and attack chains, in person in Exeter or at our Leeds headquarters where practical, or by video call. Once you have remediated, we retest the fixed findings free of charge and issue updated reporting, so your evidence shows issues closed, not just found.
The best time to test your defences is now.

Penetration testing is a regulated-adjacent specialism: insurers, auditors, and enterprise customers increasingly require testing from a CREST-accredited company with dedicated, certified testers. A general IT provider running a vulnerability scanner is not the same service. Precursor Security provides accredited manual testing with CREST Registered Testers, audit-ready reporting, and free retesting, delivered to Exeter at the same standard as our London and Leeds clients receive.
Yes. Precursor Security holds CREST organisational accreditation for penetration testing, the leading UK standard for testing providers, alongside ISO 27001:2022 certification and Cyber Essentials Plus. Testing in Exeter is delivered by CREST Registered Testers with additional certifications including OSCP, and our engagement letters reference our CREST membership number so auditors, insurers, and customers can verify it directly.
