GDPR Pen Tests.
Article 32 Compliant. Due Diligence Documented.
Demonstrate Article 32(1)(d) compliance with regular testing of technical and organisational measures. Assess global personal data safeguards, identify breach risks, and get DPA-ready reports in 5 business days.
Your GDPR Security Challenges. Our Solutions.
Organizations struggle with GDPR Article 32 compliance because few vendors understand the specific due diligence and testing documentation required by Data Protection Authorities. We built our process around DPA enforcement requirements, Article 32 technical measures, and the penetration tests regulators evaluate.
The Problem
Your risk assessments don't adequately document Article 32 compliance for personal data security. You lack evidence of regularly testing technical and organisational measures. Your due diligence file is incomplete.
The Risk
DPA enforcement actions carry fines up to EUR 20 million or 4% of global annual revenue. A breach of personal data combined with inadequate Article 32 safeguards triggers investigations, significant penalties, and reputational damage without documented due diligence.
Our Solution
Comprehensive personal data security testing mapped to Article 32 requirements. DPA-ready reports with documented evidence of periodic testing for your compliance file and Data Protection Impact Assessments.

GDPR Pentesting FAQ
Yes. GDPR Article 32(1)(d) requires controllers and processors to implement a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures for security of personal data. Penetration testing serves as the primary method to satisfy this requirement and must be documented in your compliance file.
Yes. If your organization processes personal data of EU residents - whether you're based in the US or elsewhere - GDPR applies. The regulation is territorial based on data subjects, not your location. US companies are increasingly scrutinized by European Data Protection Authorities for Article 32 compliance. Regular penetration testing demonstrates legally required due diligence in securing global personal data.
GDPR requires regular testing (Article 32(1)(d)), but does not specify a fixed frequency. Most organizations conduct at least annual assessments. Best practice is semi-annual or quarterly testing, especially if your systems change frequently or you handle large volumes of personal data. We support recurring engagements on your preferred schedule for ongoing Article 32 compliance documentation.
UK GDPR maintains the same Article 32 requirements as EU GDPR for testing and assessing security measures. Post-Brexit, UK controllers and processors must conduct the same periodic security testing of personal data. If you process data of both EU and UK residents, your testing must cover both jurisdictions' requirements. We provide Article 32 mapping for both GDPR and UK GDPR in our reports.
GDPR violations carry administrative fines up to EUR 20 million or 4% of global annual revenue (whichever is higher). For less serious violations, fines up to EUR 10 million or 2% of revenue apply. Article 32 violations (inadequate security measures) are particularly scrutinized. Data Protection Authorities enforce through investigations, audits, breach notifications, and penalties. Regular penetration testing provides documented evidence of reasonable due diligence and good-faith compliance efforts.
All systems processing personal data of EU residents must be assessed. This includes customer databases, email systems, analytics platforms, CRM systems, cloud storage, web applications, APIs, backup systems, third-party processors, cross-border data transfer channels, and any systems accessible by employees handling personal data. During scoping, we work with your team to identify all personal data flows and systems requiring testing under Article 32.
