GDPR Penetration Testing
Security testing for EU data protection compliance
What this engagement covers
The service
GDPR Article 32 requires organizations to regularly test, assess, and evaluate the effectiveness of security measures protecting personal data. Our GDPR penetration testing validates your technical controls and provides evidence of compliance with EU data protection requirements.
What we test
We assess all systems processing EU personal data including web applications, APIs, databases, cloud infrastructure, and third-party integrations. Testing focuses on data protection by design, access controls, encryption, pseudonymization, and data subject rights implementation.
How we run it
Our methodology aligns with GDPR Article 32 requirements and ENISA guidelines. We test the security of personal data processing, validate encryption and pseudonymization measures, assess access controls, and evaluate data breach detection capabilities. Each finding maps to specific GDPR articles and recitals.

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
Findings are mapped to GDPR, ENISA Guidelines, ISO 27701, NIST Privacy Framework, 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.
