Scope

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.

Method

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.
