Forefront IT Security Services — UK Penetration Testing & Red Team
Forefront IT Security Services is a veteran-owned offensive-security consultancy based in Gloucestershire, UK. We deliver human-led penetration testing, red and purple teaming, and continuous security validation for organisations of every size — from businesses, MSPs and MSSPs to government and the wider public sector. We build AETOS, our continuous adversarial exposure validation platform, to measure whether your defences actually work between point-in-time tests.
Every engagement is delivered by senior consultants who hold industry-recognised certifications (OSCP, CRTP, CRTO, CSTL, PriCSP). Forefront is Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certified. We manually verify every finding, chain weaknesses into realistic attack paths, and translate them into business risk you can act on — decisions and value, not just a PDF full of CVEs.
What we do
- Penetration testing — infrastructure (external, internal, Active Directory), web, API, mobile, cloud and wireless.
