Penetration Testing

Penetration tests simulate real-world attacks against your networks, applications, and cardholder data environment. Unlike vulnerability scans, which check your systems against a database of known weaknesses, penetration testing identifies your broader exposure: the kind attackers look for and know how to exploit.

PCI DSS Requirement 11.4 mandates annual internal and external testing, plus retesting after any significant change to your environment. Penetration testing is the most straightforward way to meet this requirement.

Stratica’s team has the PCI DSS expertise to scope, execute and document testing that satisfies your compliance obligations. All our testers are CREST certified and work to a consistent, defined methodology.

We cover network and infrastructure, web application, and segmentation control testing.

The Outcome

Every penetration test ends with a clear report: what we found, how we found it, and what to do about it, articulating each cyber risk in terms of business impact. The findings give non-technical leaders the confidence to make security decisions and security teams something to act on.

What makes Stratica the right partner for your next penetration test?

Our depth and experience with PCI DSS means we have practical experience you can’t get with certifications alone. We’re accredited by the PCI Council as both Payments Forensic Investigators (PFI) and Qualified Security Assessors (QSA) means we can draw from our real-world knowledge of how breaches start to ensure every aspect of your attack surface gets the appropriate amount of testing.
