Penetration testing for startups

What is penetration testing for startups?

Penetration testing for startups is a proactive cybersecurity measure that new businesses adopt to identify and fix security vulnerabilities in their digital assets. Startups, especially in their early stages, might overlook security due to limited resources or rapid scaling needs.

By simulating cyber-attacks, penetration tests reveal weaknesses in a startup's SaaS, cloud and other online platforms, allowing them to address risks before they lead to data breaches or loss of customer trust. For startups, conducting regular penetration tests not only helps secure their growing digital footprint but also establishes a culture of cybersecurity from the outset, fostering trust with stakeholders and customers alike.

Deliverables

You will receive a detailed report listing all the vulnerabilities and risks from the perspective of a motivated and capable adversary, alongside countermeasures to remediate the issues.

The report includes the following:

• Executive summary where the issues, attack scenarios, and business impact are explained in a non-technical language
• A detailed description of the vulnerabilities, demonstration of attack scenarios, and suggestions for fixing the issues
• A remediation prioritization matrix, helping your team to prioritize fixes and decrease risks to the environment

Reports are usually delivered within five business days from the completion of the security assessment. Fix validation is free if performed within 90 days from the delivery of the final report.

The reports can be used for vendor risk assessments, and compliance audits frequently requiring penetration testing, such as SOC 2 , CCPA, GDPR, PCI DSS , HIPAA , ISO 27001 , and others.
