When it comes to the security of your data (and that of your clients!), the question of when to conduct a pen-test is paramount. If your organization handles sensitive data, maintains an online presence, or operates in any capacity that requires data protection, it’s time to consider a pen-test.
Website Presence: If your business has a website, it’s essential to ensure its security.
Data Collection: If you’re collecting customer data, safeguarding this information is critical.
Peace of Mind: Ensuring the security of your digital assets can provide peace of mind and protect your business operations.
Compliance: Maintaining compliance with required standards such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and others
System Changes: If you’ve recently deployed new business systems, it’s a good idea to ensure that they were set up in a secure manner.
M&A: Acquired a business, or merged with another? Now is the time to validate that neither entity is introducing cyber-risk to the other
For both emerging startups and established enterprises, a pen-test serves as a critical line of defense against cyber threats. Just like a regular medical check-up, pen-testing should be done at least once per year.
