NIST Penetration Testing Software Powered by Continuous AI-Driven Insights
Penti offers NIST penetration testing services that enhance overall security posture by providing continuous, AI-driven information security testing across your systems. Achieve faster remediation, and gain 24/7 assurance that your controls are effective year-round. Penti delivers expert-led security that doesn’t take breaks.
What is NIST Pentesting?
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) publishes widely adopted guidance on cybersecurity, risk management, privacy, and AI risk management, providing organizations with clear, actionable steps to address security weaknesses.
Penti’s NIST penetration testing combines structured penetration testing with continuous information security testing to evaluate software and network environments for exploitable vulnerabilities.
Through Penti’s intuitive platform, teams gain centralized access to validated findings, detailed remediation guidance, and audit-ready reports that support both security improvement and compliance efforts while strengthening core security features across their environment.

FAQ
What is a NIST penetration test?
A NIST penetration test evaluates systems against guidance from the National Institute of Standards and Technology to identify exploitable weaknesses and validate security controls.
How often should we perform penetration testing?
Many organizations test annually for compliance, but continuous testing provides stronger protection against evolving threats and emerging attack paths.
Does Penti replace vulnerability assessments?
No. Penti complements vulnerability assessments by validating which issues are actually exploitable and pose real risk.
Which NIST standards does Penti support?
Penti aligns testing outcomes directly to NIST guidance, like NIST SP 800, helping security and compliance teams translate findings into actionable improvements and strengthen critical data security measures.
Will testing impact production systems?
No. Penti conducts controlled testing designed to avoid service disruption or unintended system changes.
Can Penti help after a cybersecurity event?
Yes. Penti can help assess exposure, validate fixes, and prevent recurrence following a cybersecurity event.
Who uses NIST-aligned penetration testing?
Organizations across healthcare, finance, SaaS, and critical infrastructure sectors use NIST-aligned testing to manage risk and meet regulatory expectations.
