What is cyber security penetration testing?

A cyber security penetration test is an external independent review of your firm’s information security processes, document policies, personnel and controls in order to assess its ability to protect its information assets from the impact of cyber threats. The penetration test is carried out by attempting to breach a system’s security using the same tools and techniques as an adversary might, and in turn identifying flaws and weaknesses within the system.

Why carry out cyber security penetration testing?

Cyber security reviews are essential to delivering the effective management of cyber security and underpin compliance to PSD2, particularly the Article 3 requirement of the RTS, ISO 27001, PCI DSS and Cyber Essentials Plus standards.
