Vulnerability Assessment and Pentration Testing (VA/PT) Case Study: Strengthening Cyber Resilience Across UK Manufacturing Sites

A multi-site manufacturing and logistics company operating across the UK partnered with HancoCyber to identify and remediate critical security weaknesses. Following concerns over lateral movement and Active Directory misconfigurations, the organisation required a comprehensive vulnerability assessment and manual penetration testing.

HancoCyber's deep-dive approach uncovered overlooked risks, including legacy vulnerabilities and policy misalignments, and provided clear, actionable recommendations. The engagement resulted in rapid risk mitigation, executive-level reporting for due diligence, and continued remediation support through a dedicated helpdesk and vCISO input.

This case study outlines how bespoke VA/PT services went beyond automated scans to deliver measurable improvements in security posture and compliance assurance.
