Penetration Testing

Our Penetration Testing (PenTest) service helps organizations identify and remediate vulnerabilities in IT infrastructure, applications, and networks while complying with NIS2 requirements. The NIS2 directive emphasizes that periodic cybersecurity assessments are mandatory to prevent cyberattacks and protect critical infrastructures and sensitive data.

Through Penetration Testing, organizations benefit from a realistic security assessment conducted by specialists who simulate real attacks, providing concrete information about security gaps and recommendations for remediation.

What This Service Covers

External and Internal Network Testing
We simulate attacks from both outside and inside the organization’s network, identifying vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.

Web and Mobile Application Assessment
We analyze the organization’s applications for known and emerging vulnerabilities, including SQL injection, XSS, weak authentication, session management, and other critical security points.

Industrial Infrastructure Testing, OT/ICS
For organizations with industrial infrastructure, we assess the security of ICS/SCADA systems, HMI, and PLCs, identifying risks that could impact process continuity and critical operations.

Social Engineering Testing
We evaluate employee awareness and human error vulnerabilities through phishing, pretexting, or other simulation techniques.

Detailed Reporting and Remediation Recommendations
Each test concludes with a comprehensive report, including identified vulnerabilities, risk levels, attack scenarios, and concrete recommendations for remediation and security strengthening.

Why It Matters

Penetration Testing is one of the most important security measures for organizations subject to the NIS2 directive because it allows the identification of real vulnerabilities before they can be exploited in a cyberattack. In a context where threats are increasingly diverse and targeted at critical infrastructures, periodic testing becomes essential for maintaining a robust security posture and preventing incidents with significant impact on operations, data, and reputation. NIS2 requires organizations to demonstrate that they have active security evaluation mechanisms and that identified vulnerabilities are addressed in a structured, documented, and measurable way.

PenTest provides management with a clear view of real exposure to risk, going beyond theoretical analysis or compliance checks. By simulating controlled advanced attacks, the service highlights weaknesses that may escape traditional procedures and shows how an attacker could compromise systems, processes, or employees. The organization thus gains a strategic advantage, being able to prioritize investments, reduce critical risks, and strengthen resilience.

The main benefit of this service lies in its ability to prevent security incidents with potential financial, operational, and reputational impact, while also providing the necessary evidence for audit and compliance. For essential and important entities, Penetration Testing becomes not just a recommended practice but an indispensable tool for actively protecting infrastructure and sensitive data.

FAQ

What is the difference between penetration testing and a standard security audit?

A security audit checks whether policies, procedures, and controls are properly implemented and documented, focusing on compliance. Penetration Testing goes further by adopting the perspective of a real attacker and practically testing system resilience. Instead of only confirming the existence of controls, PenTest demonstrates whether they actually work and can prevent compromise using modern attack techniques. The result is a much more realistic, risk-oriented security assessment.

Is the testing safe for our critical systems?

Yes. The process is carefully planned, and tests are executed by certified specialists with experience in testing sensitive infrastructures. Controlled methods with well-defined limitations are used, and procedures include protective mechanisms such as rollback points, safe execution windows, and continuous monitoring. Testing does not affect the current operation of systems and does not introduce additional operational risks.

How does the service help with NIS2 compliance?

NIS2 requires organizations to identify vulnerabilities, evaluate them periodically, and demonstrate an active risk reduction process. Penetration Testing provides clear evidence through documented reports, impact assessments, risk classifications, and remediation recommendations. This set of documents and actions constitutes concrete proof of compliance, essential during audits or official inspections.

Is industrial infrastructure, OT/ICS, also tested?

Yes. Testing extends to industrial infrastructures, including ICS, SCADA, PLCs, and HMIs, where vulnerabilities can directly affect operational continuity, physical safety, or the availability of essential services. Tests are adapted to the specifics of the industrial environment, considering system sensitivity and strict availability requirements.

Is retesting offered after remediation?

Yes. Retesting is an essential part of the process as it confirms that identified vulnerabilities have been properly addressed and that the risk has been eliminated. Without retesting, the organization cannot fully demonstrate that corrective measures were effective. This step contributes to compliance documentation and long-term security strengthening.
