GLBA Penetration Testing
Security testing aligned with Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act safeguard requirements
What this engagement covers
The service
Our GLBA penetration testing helps financial institutions meet the Safeguards Rule requirements by validating the security controls protecting customer financial information. We test your systems against the specific technical safeguards required by the FTC and federal banking regulators.
What we test
We assess the systems and controls protecting nonpublic personal information (NPI) as required by the GLBA Safeguards Rule. This includes testing access controls, encryption mechanisms, multi-factor authentication, network segmentation, change management processes, and incident response readiness across systems that store, process, or transmit customer financial data.
How we run it
Our testing maps directly to GLBA Safeguards Rule requirements (16 CFR Part 314). We validate your information security program controls through hands-on penetration testing, not just checklist compliance. We test whether your technical safeguards actually prevent unauthorized access to customer financial information and provide evidence-based findings for your compliance documentation.
NPI data flow mapping and scope identification
Access control and least privilege validation

Third-party vendor access assessment
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.
- GLBA Safeguards Rule compliance mapping report
- Penetration test findings with NPI access paths
- Access control and authentication assessment
- Encryption and data protection validation
- Network segmentation and isolation testing
- Compliance gap analysis with remediation steps
- Executive summary for regulators and auditors
- Retest validation of remediated findings
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 GLBA Safeguards Rule, FTC 16 CFR 314, FFIEC, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, NIST 800-53, 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.
