Compliance Penetration Testing

Compliance penetration testing firms specialize in helping organizations meet industry-specific regulatory requirements and security standards. Below is an itemized list of common services we offer:

• Penetration Testing (Pen Testing): Evaluating the security of a system, network, or application by simulating real-world Cyber attacks to identify vulnerabilities and potential entry points.

• Vulnerability Assessment: Conducting systematic scans and analysis of systems to identify known security weaknesses and potential risks. This type of testing identifies vulnerabilities in an organization's systems and applications.

• Risk Assessment and Management: Evaluating the potential impact and likelihood of security risks to prioritize remediation efforts. This type of assessment also evaluates the likelihood and impact of a security breach.

• Regulatory Compliance Consulting: Offering expert advice and guidance on achieving and maintaining compliance with specific regulatory frameworks.

• Compliance Audit: Assessing an organization's adherence to specific regulatory standards, such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST, ISO 27001, etc.

• Compliance Testing: This involves testing your organization's compliance with specific security standards, such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, or SOX.

• Policy Review and Development: Evaluating existing security policies and creating new ones to ensure alignment with regulatory requirements.

• Social Engineering Testing: Assessing the human factor in security by attempting to manipulate employees into divulging sensitive information or gaining unauthorized access. This involves testing the security of your organization against social engineering attacks, such as phishing and pretexting.

• Social Engineering Penetration Testing: This type of testing simulates an attack on an organization's employees, looking for vulnerabilities that could be exploited by social engineering techniques such as phishing and pretexting. This type of testing simulates an attack that relies on human interaction, such as phishing emails or phone calls.

• Application Security Testing: Assessing the security of web applications and mobile apps for vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), etc.

• Application Penetration Testing: This involves testing the security of your web applications, mobile applications, and other software applications.

• Web Application Penetration Testing: This type of testing evaluates the security of your web applications, including your login pages, shopping carts, and payment processing systems, looking for vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors.

• Mobile Application Penetration Testing: This type of testing simulates an attack on an organization's mobile applications, including your native apps and web apps looking for vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors.

• API Penetration Testing: This type of testing simulates an attack and evaluates the security on your application programming interfaces (APIs), which are the interfaces that allow other applications to interact with your systems.

• Incident Response Testing: Evaluating an organization's ability to detect, respond, and recover from security incidents effectively.

• Incident Response Planning: This type of planning helps organizations prepare for and respond to security incidents and Cyber attacks.

• Red Team Exercises: Advanced simulations of Cyber attacks to evaluate an organization's overall security posture and response capabilities. This type of testing is a more advanced form of penetration testing that simulates a full-scale attack on an organization's IT infrastructure and simulates a real-world attack on your organization by a sophisticated threat actor.

• Security Awareness Training: Educating employees on Cyber security best practices and potential threats to improve overall security awareness. This type of training also helps employees understand the importance of security and how to protect themselves from Cyber attacks.

• Security Documentation and Reporting: Providing comprehensive reports detailing vulnerabilities, risks, and recommended remediation strategies. Compliance penetration testing firms will typically provide a detailed report of their findings, including recommendations for remediation.

• Network Penetration Testing: This way of testing simulates an attack on an organization's network infrastructure, including firewalls, switches, routers, and servers.

• Network Security Testing: Evaluating the security of an organization's network infrastructure to identify potential weaknesses.

• Wireless Security Testing: Assessing the security of wireless networks and devices, such as Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth connections.

• Wireless Penetration Testing: This involves testing the security of your wireless networks, such as your Wi-Fi network.

• Physical Security Testing: This involves testing the security of your physical premises, such as your buildings, perimeter, and access control systems.

• Physical Security Assessment: Evaluating physical security controls, including access controls, video surveillance, and alarm systems.


In addition to these common services, some compliance penetration testing firms may also offer a variety of specialized services, such as:

• Cloud Security Testing: This involves testing the security of your cloud-based applications and data.

• Industrial control system (ICS) testing: This involves testing the security of your ICS systems, such as those used in manufacturing and critical infrastructure.

• IoT Security Testing: This involves testing the security of your Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

• Continuous Monitoring and Testing: Establishing ongoing monitoring and testing processes to maintain a strong security posture over time.

• Security Consulting: This type of consulting helps organizations improve their security posture overall.

• Threat Modeling: This type of analysis identifies the security risks and threats that an organization faces and assesses the likelihood and impact of those threats.

These are just some of the common services offered by compliance penetration testing firms. The specific services that you need will depend on your organization's specific needs and requirements.
