What is Audit-Ready Penetration Testing?
Audit-ready penetration testing is a compliance aligned security assessment where the deliverable is not only a technical report but a structured evidence package with remediation tracking, retest confirmation, and compliance mapping that auditors can directly verify.
Purpose-driven and verifiable. Compliance-focused penetration testing aligned with NIS2, GDPR, ISO 27001 and DORA. We translate regulatory requirements into targeted testing and clear reporting, so you are not only compliant but also genuinely secure.
What do we test for audit requirements?
How do we approach compliance testing?
Scope Alignment
We define the scope based on the requirements of the selected framework and your environment. No unnecessary testing, only what is relevant for demonstrable compliance.
Control Testing
We verify whether security controls actually work in practice, not just on paper. Both technical and operational measures are tested for real effectiveness.
Attestation Ready
You receive clear documentation that can be used directly for audits and evidence. Findings and recommendations are clearly described and mapped to the relevant requirements.
What does each framework require from a pentest?
Each compliance framework has different testing requirements and different evidence standards. We scope each engagement to deliver exactly what your specific framework demands.
NIS2
Article 21(1) requires appropriate technical measures proportional to risk, including regular security testing. Our NIS2-aligned pentest produces a structured report, remediation tracking, and a compliance statement you can present to your national competent authority.
DORA (from January 2025)
DORA Article 24 requires regular ICT security testing for all in-scope financial entities. Article 26 requires Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) for significant institutions. We deliver DORA-aligned test reports mapped to ICT risk management requirements.
ISO 27001
ISO 27001 Annex A controls A.8.8 (technical vulnerability management) and A.8.29 (security testing in development) require documented evidence of testing. Our pentest report maps findings to ISO control categories for direct use in your certification audit.
GDPR
GDPR Article 32 requires technical measures appropriate to the risk to the security of personal data. A documented penetration test demonstrating that you assess and address vulnerabilities in systems handling personal data is accepted evidence in GDPR audit contexts.
What do you receive from a compliance pentest?
The deliverable from a compliance pentest is not just a report. It is a structured evidence package that your auditors, insurers, and procurement teams can work with directly.
Technical report
Detailed findings with exploitation evidence, CVSS scores, and root cause analysis. Structured for both technical teams and management readers.
Compliance mapping
All findings mapped to the requirements of your selected compliance framework. Auditors can directly verify which controls were tested and what the outcome was.
Remediation tracking
Every finding tracked from discovery through remediation to confirmed fix. Retest confirmation included so auditors see the full cycle, not just the snapshot.
Attestation letter
A signed attestation letter stating scope, methodology, findings status, and compliance readiness. Ready for use in regulatory audits, insurance assessments, and procurement due diligence.
