ISO 27001 Pentest
Specialized penetration tests compliant with ISO 27001 standards, designed to strengthen your information security management, ensure compliance and minimize business risks.
What is an ISO 27001 Pentest?
ISO 27001 Pentesting is an essential service designed to ensure alignment with the stringent information security standards of ISO 27001. It is crucial for organizations that depend on the protection of confidential and sensitive information, aimed at identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities to secure information systems and ensure robust compliance with international standards.
Opting for an ISO 27001 Pentest not only improves your security posture but also provides assurance against the legal and financial consequences of non-compliance. It is a strategic investment for entities looking to secure their data and reputation.

Key Features
ISO 27001 Pentest Approach
In the digital domain, compliance with ISO 27001 standards is essential. Our 6-step ISO 27001 Pentest Approach methodically evaluates and strengthens the security posture of your network. It is designed to identify vulnerabilities and improve system resilience, promoting a robust and ISO 27001-compliant cyber environment. Each step brings you closer to sound security.
Determine the specific systems, networks, and applications that store, process, or transmit cardholder data that need to be included in the pentest.
Identify potential threat agents, attack vectors, and vulnerabilities by evaluating data flow, understanding processes, and considering past incidents.
Verify that networks are correctly segregated. This ensures that non-critical systems cannot access or influence business-critical systems and networks.
Use automated tools in combination with manual analysis to carefully discover and catalog vulnerabilities in a system, setting the stage for exploitation.
Actively exploit identified vulnerabilities to understand their real-world impact and potential data exposure.
Document findings, rank vulnerabilities based on severity, and provide specific recommendations for addressing and mitigating risks.
ISO 27001 Pentest FAQ's
An ISO 27001 Pentest, also known as a penetration test, is a thorough evaluation designed to test the security of your information systems according to ISO 27001 standards. This test simulates cyber attacks to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses, allowing your organization to improve its security measures and comply with information security standards.
1. How long does an ISO 27001 Pentest take?
The duration of a Pentest can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the systems being tested, but it typically takes between one to three weeks.
2. What methods are used during a Pentest?
Methods can range from automated scans to manual exploitation techniques, depending on the specific requirements of the test.
An ISO 27001 Pentest must comply with the specific requirements of standard A12.6 of the ISO 27001 norm framework. It is essential that these tests are conducted by certified IT-security professionals who have experience evaluating complex information systems to ensure your organization is 'in control' in terms of information security.
An ISO 27001 audit assesses whether an organization's Information Security Management System (ISMS) complies with the requirements of the ISO 27001 standard. An ISO 27001 Pentest, on the other hand, is a technical assessment specifically aimed at discovering vulnerabilities in the organization's security measures. Both processes are complementary and are used to improve the overall security.
While an ISO 27001 Pentest is highly recommended, it is not always mandatory. For standard systems and architectures, a vulnerability scan may suffice. However, for more complex systems, such as custom-made web applications, a Pentest is recommended to ensure a higher level of data protection and to protect the organization from cyber attacks.
To request an ISO 27001 Pentest and ensure that your information systems are adequately secured, you can contact our team of specialized IT-security professionals. We offer customized Pentest services designed to help your organization comply with both international and national standards for information security.
An ISO 27001 Pentest involves several phases:
- Planning and scoping: Determining the scope and objectives of the pentest.
- Information gathering: Collecting data about the target systems to identify potential attack vectors.
- Vulnerability analysis: Analyzing the collected information to discover potential security weaknesses.
- Exploitation: Actively exploiting found vulnerabilities to assess their impact.
- Reporting: Compiling a detailed report with findings, vulnerabilities, and recommendations for improvements.
After the completion of an ISO 27001 Pentest, the results are documented in a comprehensive report that includes identified vulnerabilities, the tests performed, and recommendations for improvement. This report helps your organization to:
- Prioritize the mitigation of found vulnerabilities.
- Adjust and strengthen security measures.
- Verify compliance with ISO 27001 and other relevant standards.
