What a Wireless Penetration Test Includes

A wireless penetration test assesses approved corporate and guest networks, associated client controls, and management configurations. Testing is scheduled and coordinated to reduce operational risk.

Assessment overview

What the assessment includes

Authorized locations, network names, access points, client types, and test windows

Encryption, authentication, certificate, and configuration review

Guest separation, client isolation, and validation of access boundaries

Approved rogue access point or client scenarios where relevant

Observed coverage, technical evidence, remediation priorities, and retesting

Test coverage

What is examined

Final coverage depends on the agreed systems, access, objectives, exclusions, and safety requirements.

Encryption and authentication configuration

Enterprise identity and certificate handling

Guest and corporate network separation

Client isolation and peer exposure

Approved rogue access point scenarios

Wireless management and monitoring controls

Industry references

How coverage is informed

NIST SP 800-115

Planning, conducting, and documenting technical security tests.

OSSTMM

Operational test concepts for wireless communications and access controls.

CIS Controls

Safeguard context for network infrastructure and access management.

These references inform the assessment. Testing does not itself provide certification or guarantee compliance.

Final report

What is included in the report

The report is designed for both decision makers and the teams responsible for remediation.

Observed wireless scope and signal context

Validated access and isolation findings

Configuration evidence

Remediation priorities

Optional retest on site

Discuss the required scope and report.

DIGITPOL will confirm the targets, constraints, evidence needs, and reporting requirements before testing.
