Why Choose CYBRI for GDPR-Aligned Penetration Testing

We specialize in GDPR-focused penetration testing and helping companies validate the effectiveness of their technical and organizational measures. With CYBRI, you get:

  • Manual, real-world attack simulation
  • Clear, GDPR-ready documentation for DPOs & auditors
  •  Security testing aligned to Article 32 requirements
  •  Fast turnaround (7–14 days average)
  •  Expertise across SaaS stacks (AWS, GCP, Node.js, React, APIs, etc.)

CYBRI’s penetration testing goes beyond automated scanning to validate how your systems actually protect personal data. Our approach provides credible, evidence-based assurance that your security measures are effective and GDPR-compliant.

What’s Included with Your GDPR Pen Test

  • Test Scope
    Web apps, APIs, infrastructure, cloud environments, and data-processing assets mapped to systems that store or handle personal data and are aligned with your GDPR processing activities.
  • Methodology
    Tailored to your GDPR security obligations and Article 32 requirements.

Combines manual testing, OWASP Top 10 coverage, cloud reviews, and business-logic exploitation to validate the effectiveness of your technical and organizational measures (TOMs).

  • Reporting
    GDPR-aligned deliverables: Executive summary, Article 32 mapping, DPIA-ready findings, detailed technical issues, risk impact on personal data, and clear remediation guidance written for DPOs and security teams.
  • Deliverables
    GDPR-ready PDF report, Article 32 evidence mapping, optional raw findings, and a retest summary (if required) designed to integrate directly into your DPIA, ROPA, or internal compliance documentation.
  • Support
    Dedicated debrief call, remediation consultation, and continuous Slack/email access throughout the engagement plus guidance on using the results for GDPR compliance, DPIAs, or regulator-facing documentation.

Turn Your GDPR Pen Test Into a Competitive Advantage

GDPR isn’t just a legal obligation, it’s proof that your company protects personal data with real security, not just policies. With CYBRI, your GDPR penetration test becomes more than a compliance exercise; it becomes a strategic signal of trust for customers, partners, and regulators, demonstrating your commitment to strong, effective data protection.

FAQs

Do I need a pen test to pass GDPR?
GDPR doesn’t explicitly require penetration testing, but you must demonstrate the effectiveness of your security measures—and penetration testing is the most credible way to do that.

Why do I require penetration testing for GDPR compliance?
No, but penetration testing provides concrete evidence that the technical and organizational measures required under GDPR Articles 5, 24, 25, and 32 actually work in practice proving that personal data is secured against real-world attacks, not just documented on paper.

Can internal teams perform pen testing for GDPR compliance?
Penetration testing that supports GDPR compliance must be performed by independent third-party experts; internal staff cannot provide the objective, credible validation required under GDPR.

For which other compliance frameworks can Cybri help?
Cybri can also support your organization with penetration testing and security validation aligned to ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR.
