Penetration testing policy, explained
What a penetration test is, why a hosting provider must be told before you run one against your own application, and what Voroa's position is on this today.
What this covers
A penetration test is an authorised attempt to break into a system, done to find the weaknesses before someone unfriendly does. On shared infrastructure it needs coordination for two reasons. The traffic looks exactly like an attack, so without notice it may be blocked or trigger an incident response. And the boundary matters: testing your own application is your business, while testing the platform underneath it affects every other customer on the same infrastructure and is not yours to authorise. Providers therefore publish a policy setting out what is permitted, what needs notice, and what is never allowed.
Voroa does not publish a penetration testing policy today. Do not run a security test against Voroa infrastructure. If you need to test your own application hosted on Voroa, contact support first.
