Penetration Testing
Maintaining cyber security is of vital importance for all organizations; successful cyber attacks can have devastating consequences, including operational disruption, reputational damage, legal and regulatory penalties, and financial losses. To avoid these consequences, it is essential that you not only implement robust and comprehensive cyber security measures, but also that you test these measures’ efficacy and establish whether any weaknesses exist in your organization’s IT environment.
Regular penetration testing can assist with compliance/conformance with particular standards and regulations, including with ISO 27001 or the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It is even a mandatory requirement for compliance with some standards, such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Third parties, such as prospective clients, may also request that you perform penetration testing.
