What is ISO 27001 pentesting?

ISO/IEC 27001 is a globally recognized standard for information security management system (ISMS) requirements. While the standard doesn’t mandate penetration testing, it strongly recommends performing regular pentests for ISO 27001 to give organizations concrete evidence of control effectiveness. Pentesting plays a critical role in validating the strength of your ISMS, supporting Annex A controls, and demonstrating due diligence during certification.

For companies seeking ISO 27001 certification, Penti’s rapid and continuous pentesting provides invaluable insight that helps you detect hidden security and technical vulnerabilities before they surface during a certification audit.
