Connecting IT Security Compliance with Penetration Testing

Security vs IT compliance is an outdated discussion. In this security vs compliance topic, the former is the practice of applying technical controls to protect sensitive data. The latter is the application of security to meet a regulatory or contractual requirement. 
Out of need, not out of choice – that’s compliance but a good security professional will understand easily that compliance and IT security go hand in hand.

A pro-active security approach aligns compliance seamlessly in identifying the threats and achieving compliance. Penetration testing sits at the heart of any information security programme. Ever-increasing TTPs (tactics, techniques and procedures) complexity is constantly adding to the attack surface of digital assets used to conduct business. 

Regulatory requirements are developing and demanding a continuous need to monitor and manage information security vulnerabilities that demand more than a tick in the box approach. Our compliance aligned penetration testing ensures that identified vulnerabilities carry relevant context if they are a genuine threat to the organisation.
