ISO 27001 penetration testing

Penetration testing that produces the evidence an ISO/IEC 27001:2022 audit expects — every finding mapped to the relevant Annex A control, with remediation tracked to sign-off.

Why it matters

ISO 27001 expects you to test

Annex A asks you to find and act on technical weaknesses. A penetration test is how you generate that evidence.

  • A.8.8 Management of technical vulnerabilities — identify vulnerabilities and act on them
  • A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance — test systems before and after release
  • A.8.25 Secure development life cycle — verify security is built in, not assumed
  • A.5.37 Documented operating procedures — record what was tested, found and fixed

Audit-ready output

Evidence your auditor can use

  • Every finding mapped to the relevant ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A control
  • A remediation tracking & sign-off matrix: owner, target date and verification status per finding
  • Short-term mitigation and long-term fix for each issue, so closure is unambiguous
  • A retest that updates each finding’s verification status — the closing evidence for the audit
  • CVSS 3.1 severity so risk treatment decisions are defensible

Where it fits

Certification, surveillance and customer assurance

Certification prep

Generate the technical-testing evidence before your Stage 2 audit.

Surveillance & recertification

Demonstrate ongoing vulnerability management at each audit cycle.

Customer assurance

Meet the penetration-testing clause in a client contract or security questionnaire.

One clarification

Aligned, not a certificate

We provide the testing and the audit evidence. ISO/IEC 27001 certification itself is issued by an accredited certification body — our report supports that process, it doesn’t replace it.
