Compliance and Data Security
Internal testing supports regulatory compliance with standards like ISO 27001 and NIST, helping your organization meet industry requirements and protect sensitive data against breaches.
Impact of Internal Vulnerabilities
Research indicates that 60% of data breaches involve insider access or compromised internal credentials. Internal penetration testing provides a critical layer of defense, helping to mitigate risks before they result in costly incidents.
Enhancing Insider Protections
Internal penetration testing uncovers vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit if they gain access to your network. Proactively identifying these weaknesses allows organizations to implement stronger controls and reduce internal risks.
