What is White Label Penetration Testing?
In addition to providing penetration testing services for direct customers, we also offer white label penetration testing services. A white label penetration test is a security assessment conducted by a specialized pentest provider. Upon completion, the deliverables are rebranded for the partner which in turn delivers the work to its customer. This practice is also commonly referred to as private-label penetration testing.
Who is White Label Penetration Testing for?
White label penetration testing services are usually provided for other MSP or MSSP companies that want to build or improve their own penetration testing offering. By using white label services they achieve significant economy on hiring personnel even during high workload periods.
How is White Label Penetration Testing Provided?
White label services by Trilight Security are designed with a focus on EU and US-based IT and cybersecurity companies. We partner with these companies to deliver white label penetration testing services on their behalf. Our involvement with their end customers is controlled and transparent. The service is usually delivered through interaction with the partner’s PM or supervisor, and all the services or consultancy are delivered under the partner’s brand.
This way we relieve our partners of the necessity to hire additional FTEs, providing them with the extra flexibility and expertise required to meet their customers’ demands.
Our Offering
Black Box Pentesting
We provide black box pen testing services, when we have no access to the source code or internal design of the system, and rely on public information such as the system’s behavior, inputs, and outputs.
Grey Box Pentesting
We conduct grey box pentests, when we have some knowledge or information about the target system from different sources, such as previous tests, but not complete access to its internal workings.
White Box Pentesting
We conduct white box pentests, when we have complete information about the target system, including its architecture, source code, and access to sensitive data, to allow deeper examination.
Clouds
We assess cloud computing environments to identify vulnerabilities such as misconfigured access controls, weak authentication mechanisms, and insecure data storage, and provide remediation recommendations for your IT team.
Networks
We assess networks, IT systems, and infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities such as misconfigured access controls, weak authentication mechanisms, unpatched systems, and others, reducing the risk of data breaches or other security incidents.
Our Certifications
Deliverables
- Executive Summary: A high-level overview of the pentest results.
- Test Plan: A document outlining the scope, objectives, and approach of the pentest.
- Detailed Technical Report: A comprehensive report documenting all findings and recommendations, including descriptions of vulnerabilities and their impact, proof of concept, and remediation recommendations.
- Vulnerability Assessment: A comprehensive list of all vulnerabilities discovered during the pen testing, including a prioritization of findings based on risk and impact.
- Evidence: Screenshots, log files, and other evidence supporting the findings and recommendations in the report.
- Action Plan: A plan for remediating and mitigating the vulnerabilities identified during the pentest, including timelines and responsible parties.
We could prepare a presentation or briefing for the relevant stakeholders, including a summary of the findings and recommendations and any recommendations for further action. After a follow-up pen testing to check whether all identified vulnerabilities were removed, we issue a Pentest Certificate, which can be used for compliance audits and customer communications.
All these documents will be branded with our partner’s logo. We can also prepare a presentation or briefing to the relevant stakeholders, including a summary of the findings and recommendations, and any recommendations for further action.
After a follow-up white label penetration testing to check whether all identified vulnerabilities were removed, we can issue a Pentest Certificate, which will also be branded according to the partner’s design guidelines.

What is the White Label Penetration Testing Process Like?
We provide all necessary pre- and post-project support. During the projects, we use a combination of manual and automated methods to simulate real-world attacks on applications, systems, and networks. Typically white label pen testing projects include the following stage:
- Pre-sales and Scoping: This phase involves collecting information about the customer's goals, and delivering all types of support required to win the deal, including preparation of scope and estimate. Conducted via partner's contact, like PM.
- Information Gathering: This phase involves collecting information about the target system, such as IP addresses, operating systems, services, vulnerabilities, etc. Conducted via partner's contact, like PM.
- Vulnerability Scanning: We use automated tools to scan the target system for known vulnerabilities and security weaknesses.
- Exploitation: During this phase, the tester attempts to exploit vulnerabilities found during the previous phase to gain access to the target system.
- Privilege Escalation: Once the tester has gained access to the target system, we will attempt to escalate privileges to gain more control over the system.
- Maintaining Access: The tester will attempt to maintain access to the target system, even if security measures are put in place to block them.
- Reporting: We will produce a report detailing our findings and recommendations for improving the security of the target system. The report is prepared and branded with the partner's logo. If face-to-face communications are needed, our personnel can be presented as a part of the partner's team.
- Post-project Support: Finally, our team will provide assistance and maintenance if required by the customer, who starts some cybersecurity project aimed at closing the gaps exposed during the security assessment.

White Label Penetration Testing Methodologies
Our penetration testing services follow established methodologies to ensure thorough and effective security assessments. We utilize standards and frameworks specific to our targets, including OWASP (Web and Mobile Security Testing Guides), NIST, SANS Penetration Testing Methodology, CREST, and PTES. These methodologies provide a comprehensive approach to identifying and addressing more specific vulnerabilities, covering areas like data storage, API security, session management, cryptography, etc.
Tools
Our experts tailor their tools based on the testing type—whether a black box, gray box, or white box—and the unique features of our targets. We use a variety of industry-standard tools, including Nmap, Metasploit, Nessus, Burp Suite, sqlmap, OWASP ZAP, Wireshark, and Kali Linux, alongside specific tools such as IronWASP, Acunetix, Beef, Red Team Toolkit (RTTK), EternalBlue, and more. This robust toolset enables us to simulate real-world attacks and uncover potential security flaws in web, mobile, network, and cloud environments.
