Pentest & Vulnerability Management
for Organisations in Spain

Why Security Testing Matters in Spain

Under NIS2, essential and important entities in Spain must handle vulnerabilities and assess the effectiveness of their security measures, financial entities must test their digital operational resilience under DORA, and the GDPR requires regular testing of the measures that protect personal data. Penetration tests and continuous vulnerability scanning provide the evidence.

We combine both sides of security testing: penetration tests, in which experienced testers attack your systems like a real adversary, and continuous vulnerability management, which detects new weaknesses on your perimeter between the tests and tracks them until they are fixed.

Penetration Testing

• External network testing — Internet-facing systems such as web servers, mail gateways, VPN endpoints and cloud services
• Internal network testing — Simulation of an attacker inside your network: segmentation, privilege escalation and lateral movement
• Web application and API testing — In-depth testing based on the OWASP Top 10 and OWASP API Security Top 10
• Mobile application testing — iOS and Android apps, including data storage, communication and authentication
• Cloud configuration review — Identity, network and storage settings in AWS, Azure and Google Cloud
• Social engineering — Controlled phishing simulations to test the security awareness of your employees

Vulnerability Management

• Continuous perimeter scanning — Automated scans of your internet-facing systems detect new vulnerabilities and misconfigurations
• Risk-based prioritisation — Findings rated by severity and exposure, so your team fixes what matters first
• Remediation tracking — Every finding becomes a task with an owner and a due date, verified by a re-scan
• Reporting — Trends and open risks for management, and evidence for auditors and customers

Requirements in Spain

Regular security testing helps you meet the requirements that apply to your organisation:

• NIS2 — Risk management measures for essential and important entities, including vulnerability handling and assessing the effectiveness of security measures
• DORA — Digital operational resilience testing for financial entities, including vulnerability assessments, penetration tests and threat-led penetration testing (TLPT) for significant entities
• Esquema Nacional de Seguridad (ENS) — Vulnerability management and regular security audits for the public sector and its technology providers
• GDPR Article 32 — A process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of security measures
• PCI DSS — Penetration testing and quarterly vulnerability scans for organisations that process payment card data
• ISO/IEC 27001 — Technical vulnerability management (Annex A 8.8) and security testing (Annex A 8.29)

How Does It Work?
