Why conduct a penetration test?

An organisation should carry out a penetration test:

In response to the impact of a serious breach on a similar organisation;
To comply with a regulation or standard, such as the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) or the EU GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation);
To ensure the security of new applications or significant changes to business processes;
To manage the risks of using a greater number and variety of outsourced services; and/or
To assess the risk of critical data or systems being compromised.

When penetration testing is conducted within the UK, there are a number of laws that govern the activities that form part of a penetration test.

For the majority of tests, these laws include the following:

In order to ensure that penetration testing is conducted in line with UK law and also to ensure that the test is conducted as efficiently as possible, a testing consent form must always be used to capture the exact scope of the test and provides those responsible for an organisation’s infrastructure with a means of providing their consent.
