Why Auditors Expect Penetration Testing
ISO 27001’s risk-based approach to information security is reinforced through continual testing and verification. Two controls, in particular, make penetration testing essential:
- A.12.6.1 - Technical Vulnerability Management: Requires identification and timely remediation of technical vulnerabilities.
- A.14.2.8 - System Security Testing: Calls for verification that implemented security controls function as intended.
Our ISO 27001 penetration tests close the loop between your risk assessment, control implementation, and auditor evidence requirements. Each finding is categorized by severity, mapped to relevant ISO controls, and supported by actionable remediation steps.
