Cybersecurity is critical in the gaming industry, and adherence to GCB and NGC standards is non-negotiable. Our penetration testing methodologies are tailored specifically for ensuring your casino’s compliance with these stringent regulations. We follow industry best practices, such as NIST SP 800-115, OWASP, and PTES, to deliver a comprehensive evaluation of your security posture. Our approach is designed to uncover and mitigate vulnerabilities, ensuring your operations remain secure and compliant with GCB and NGC requirements.
Tactics: Our penetration testing tactics are customized to meet the specific needs of the gaming industry, focusing on GCB and NGC compliance. These high-level strategies define the ‘why’ and ‘what’ of our penetration tests, setting clear goals and objectives for each engagement. For instance, a common tactic might be ‘Compliance Verification,’ where we aim to ensure that your casino’s security measures align with GCB and NGC standards, focusing on protecting sensitive customer data and financial information.
Techniques: Specializing in comprehensive penetration testing, we employ a wide range of techniques to address the diverse cybersecurity challenges casinos face. These techniques are the specific methods, tools, and processes we use to achieve our tactical objectives. For example, under the ‘Compliance Verification’ tactic, our techniques include internal network testing to identify potential insider threats, web application testing to ensure the security of customer-facing platforms, and wireless network testing to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches.
Procedures: Our procedures for penetration testing are meticulously designed to guide each assessment, ensuring thorough and consistent evaluations across all aspects of your casino’s security infrastructure. These step-by-step processes ensure that our techniques are executed with precision, focusing on areas critical to GCB and NGC compliance. For instance, our procedures include detailed steps for conducting physical penetration testing to assess the security of restricted areas within the casino, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data and systems. This rigorous approach ensures your casino meets and exceeds regulatory requirements, safeguarding both your operations and reputation.

Identifying the specific versions and configurations of services running on open ports to pinpoint potential vulnerabilities.
External pen testing evaluates what attackers can access from the outside of your network. In other words, we act like cybercriminals scanning the internet for weaknesses in your firewalls, websites, cloud services, or exposed servers. We search for misconfigurations, outdated software, and known vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorized access. Furthermore, we simulate real-world attacks to demonstrate how your public-facing systems might be targeted and exploited. By identifying these gaps early, your team can take swift action to reduce your risk
While external testing looks at outside threats, internal penetration testing focuses on dangers that come from within. For example, we simulate an attacker who has already made it past your perimeter—perhaps through phishing or a rogue device. Once inside, we explore how far they could move, what data they could access, and how easily they could escalate privileges. As a result, this test helps you understand your true exposure if your internal network is ever breached. In addition, it allows you to improve segmentation, patching, and access controls across your organization.
Wireless networks make life easier, but they also create opportunities for attackers. With our wireless penetration testing, we test your Wi-Fi environment for weak encryption, rogue access points, and poor segmentation. For instance, we simulate attacks such as evil twin setups, man-in-the-middle interception, and unauthorized network access. In addition, we examine signal leakage and guest access controls to make sure they align with best practices. As a result, you'll gain peace of mind knowing that your wireless network isn't your weakest link.
Because so much business happens online, web applications are frequent targets for cyberattacks. Our web application penetration testing focuses on identifying common and advanced vulnerabilities—such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), broken access control, and more. We carefully test how your app handles user input, authentication, sessions, and permissions. In addition, we analyze any connected APIs and backend services. Following OWASP Top 10 guidelines, we help you secure your entire application stack. Consequently, your users and data stay safe from malicious actors.
Often, it’s people—not technology—that represent the biggest risk. That’s why we include social engineering in our penetration testing offerings. Through phishing emails, phone calls, and other real-world scenarios, we test whether employees can be tricked into giving away access or sensitive data. For example, we might simulate a fake IT request or send a crafted email with a dangerous link. However, we always do this ethically and with permission. Most importantly, we provide insights into where additional training is needed—so your people become your strongest defense, not your weakest.
More companies are moving to the cloud—but unfortunately, many still misconfigure it. That’s why our cloud penetration testing focuses on AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. We search for issues like overly permissive roles, exposed storage buckets, insecure APIs, and forgotten assets. Furthermore, we follow cloud provider security best practices while using offensive testing techniques to show how these missteps can be exploited. In doing so, we help you close the gaps that attackers look for in modern hybrid and cloud-native environments.
Even the best cybersecurity plan can fail if someone can walk in the front door. Our physical penetration testing simulates real-world break-ins using techniques such as badge cloning, tailgating, lock picking, and in-person deception. For instance, we may attempt to access restricted areas or plug rogue devices into your internal network. In addition to identifying physical security weaknesses, this testing evaluates staff readiness and facility controls. As a result, you’ll understand how well your organization can stop not just virtual—but also physical—intrusions.
While traditional penetration testing focuses on finding specific technical flaws, Red Team Operations go a step further by simulating a full-scale, multi-layered cyberattack against your entire organization. In essence, this service tests not just your systems, but also your people, processes, and detection capabilities. Unlike routine penetration testing, red teaming is designed to mimic advanced threat actors—using stealth, persistence, and creativity to bypass your defenses over time.
