PENETRATION TESTING AND THE GDPR

Penetration tests (or "pentests") are cybersecurity tests that simulate attacks by malicious actors to identify vulnerabilities in your systems and assets.
Some advantages of the penetration tests performed by WeSecure include, but are not limited to:
  •     Vulnerability Identification: Penetration tests allow organizations to identify vulnerabilities in their systems and IT infrastructure before a malicious hacker can exploit them.
  •    Risk Reduction: By identifying vulnerabilities, organizations can take preventive measures to reduce the risks of a successful attack. This helps avoid the loss of confidential data and business disruptions.
  •    Legal Compliance: Many regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), require organizations to take steps to protect personal data
  •    Digital Trust:Além disso, os nossos relatórios independentes permitem-lhe ainda evidenciar a conformidade perante os seus parceiros e autoridade de controlo, quando solicitado.

Technical & Executive GDPR Compliance Report


The GDPR requires organizations to take appropriate measures to protect personal data from security and privacy breaches.
Our penetration tests can help organizations guarantee these requirements.

Remember that any of our pentests is cheaper than not complying with the GDPR.

GDPR REQUIREMENTS

Article 32 of the GDPR requires data controllers and data processors handling the personal data of EU residents to implement "appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk".
These measures should include, as appropriate:
  •     The pseudonymization and encryption of personal data
  •    The ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing systems and services;
  •    The ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident; and
  •    A process for regularly testing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of processing.
Our team of experts in penetration testing and GDPR compliance will simulate targeted attacks on critical personal data assets essential to your business and operations.
The added value of our Penetration Testing and GDPR compliance service goes beyond merely identifying vulnerabilities or privacy gaps. We also focus on fostering a “cyber-aware” culture, helping to prevent privacy incidents or minimize their impact if they occur.
Don’t take risks! Non-compliance with GDPR can lead to severe fines, reaching up to 4% of your organization’s global annual revenue or €20 million (whichever is higher).
This could result in significant financial losses as well as a decline in public and customer trust.

PROFESSIONAL PENETRATION TESTING SERVICES – GDPR

When conducting a penetration test, we take on the role of a malicious insider or external attacker.
This test will provide an objective assessment based on concrete evidence, allowing for a compliance evaluation against the penetration testing criteria: GDPR / ISO 27701 Annex A / ISO 27701 Annex B.
By choosing a program consisting of a series of penetration tests, some of the phases include, but are not limited to:
  •     Regular internal and external vulnerability assessments to respond to findings and ensure proper remediation.
  •    Ad hoc penetration tests conducted after any significant changes to your infrastructure or applications to identify newly introduced privacy vulnerabilities.
  •    Annual penetration tests on your systems to ensure adequate protection against opportunistic attackers who may identify you as a potential target.
  •    Annual internal penetration tests to ensure networks and applications are properly segmented, reducing internal threats and limiting the potential impact of a breach.
  •     Periodic simulated phishing attacks to identify training gaps and ensure your employees remain aware of threats (ideally supported by phishing awareness training).
  •    Social engineering tests, as appropriate, to identify privacy risks
  •     Ongoing checks for improper exposure of personal data across your online assets
  •     Compliance with RCM 41/2018, where applicable
