ATM & Banking Terminal Testing
Specialized security testing for ATMs and payment terminals
What this engagement covers
The service
ATMs and banking terminals are high-value targets for sophisticated attackers. Our specialized testing identifies physical security weaknesses, software vulnerabilities, network security gaps, and skimming vulnerabilities in ATM systems.
What we test
We assess physical security, software and firmware vulnerabilities, network communications, card reader security, cash dispenser mechanisms, touch screen security, boot integrity, secure key storage, and compliance with PCI PTS standards.
Scoping & Assessment Depth
Black Box Assessment
Zero-KnowledgeSimulates an external adversary targeting ATM & Banking Terminal Testing with no internal credentials, source code, or architecture documentation. Assesses perimeter exposure, unauthenticated attack paths, and edge resilience.
Gray Box Assessment (Recommended)
CredentialedSimulates an authenticated user, tenant, or insider threat within ATM & Banking Terminal Testing. We evaluate role segregation, authorization boundaries, privilege escalation, and business logic flaws across user tiers.
White Box / Source-Assisted
Full-KnowledgeConducted with direct access to architecture schematics, configuration files, and API/code documentation. Eliminates blind spots and provides exhaustive coverage of security mechanisms governing ATM & Banking Terminal Testing.

What you receive
Findings land in your tracker as you go, not only in a PDF at the end. Retest is in scope, not a change order.
- Comprehensive ATM security assessment
- Physical security vulnerability report
- Software and firmware analysis
- Network communication security findings
- Skimming vulnerability assessment
- PCI PTS compliance gap analysis
- Incident response recommendations
- Hardening and remediation roadmap
What we usually find
The issues this engagement surfaces most often. Yours will differ, but this is the shape of it.
Who this is for
Auditor-Ready Compliance Crosswalk
| Framework | Control Section | Testing Evidence & Report Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| PCI DSS v4.0 | Requirement 11.4 & 11.4.3 | Adversary-driven external and internal penetration testing with application-layer validation and vulnerability remediation verification. |
Findings are mapped to PCI PTS, PCI-DSS, EMV, ISO 20022, Financial Regulations, so the report drops into an audit package rather than needing to be translated first. If you need the readiness work behind one of those, that is a separate engagement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers on scoping, methodology, compliance validation, and deliverables.
Our ATM & Banking Terminal Testing service combines deep manual testing with automated verification. We cover: Comprehensive ATM security assessment, Physical security vulnerability report, Software and firmware analysis, Network communication security findings, Skimming vulnerability assessment. Every engagement includes reproducible proof-of-concept exploits, developer-ready remediation guidance, and a free retest.
Yes. Findings are directly mapped to PCI PTS, PCI-DSS, EMV, ISO 20022, Financial Regulations control requirements. The resulting report is auditor-ready and formatted for immediate submission to SOC 2 CPAs, PCI QSAs, and enterprise vendor risk assessment teams.
Yes. Every Lorikeet Security engagement includes free retesting within 30 to 60 days to validate that your remediation patches successfully resolve the identified vulnerabilities before your final report is issued.
Typical active testing turnaround is 2-3 weeks, with critical findings reported immediately via your Talon portal so your engineering team can begin remediation without waiting for the final PDF.
Pricing starts from $15,000. We scope the engagement in one call based on your environment's surface area, user roles, and complexity, providing a transparent, fixed-price quote with no hidden change orders.
