Penetration Testing
Objectives of Penetration Testing
Identification of vulnerabilities in systems, applications, network infrastructures, and human factors (social engineering).
Risk assessment: Evaluation of the impact a successful attack would have.
Verification of security measures: Checking the effectiveness of existing technical and organizational controls.
Compliance with standards: Supporting the fulfillment of regulatory framework requirements such as PCI-DSS, ISO/IEC 27001, GDPR, NIS2.
Categories of Penetration Testing
External Penetration Testing: Simulates attacks from external attackers on the public network (e.g., internet-facing applications).
Internal Penetration Testing: Simulation of a malicious user within the corporate network.
Web Application Testing: Focuses on vulnerabilities in web applications (e.g., SQL Injection, XSS).
Wireless Network Testing: Security assessment of wireless networks.
Social Engineering: Attempts to deceive employees to gain access or information (e.g., phishing).
Red Team Assessments: Advanced, targeted exercises simulating real attackers over an extended period.

PURPOSE
The purpose of Penetration Tests is to ensure you have the necessary knowledge to effectively protect your business from cyber threats. These tests simulate cyberattacks on information systems (websites, servers, network equipment, databases, etc.) with the goal of assessing their security.
TYPES OF PENETRATION TESTS
1. Black Box Testing: No knowledge or access to the system — simulates an external attack.
2. Grey Box Testing: Partial knowledge — simulates an internal user with limited privileges.
3. White Box Testing: Full knowledge of the environment — comprehensive internal and external assessment.
TEST ENVIRONMENT AND ACCESS
The tests will be conducted via a VPN provided by the organization under assessment. Alternatively, an on-site visit may be arranged to perform checks on local networks.
DELIVERABLES
At the conclusion of the audit activities, a Detailed Penetration Testing Report will be delivered, including:
Description of findings
Severity, impact, and ease of exploitation
Remediation recommendations
