ISO 27001 Penetration Testing
Penetration testing aligned to ISO 27001 security controls
ISO 27001 Annex A requires organisations to assess their technical controls through regular security testing. NeedSec provides penetration testing that maps directly to relevant ISO 27001 control objectives — delivering evidence-led reporting that satisfies auditors, strengthens your ISMS, and identifies the real vulnerabilities your certification process is designed to address.
Practical assessment
Testing and review work is hands-on and tailored to your environment - not a generic checklist.
Clear, evidence-led output
Every finding includes evidence, business context, and a concrete path to resolution.
Compliance-aware approach
Work is structured around real security improvement - and mapped to relevant frameworks where needed.
What We Assess
Practical testing aligned to business risk
NeedSec combines manual testing, technical validation, and clear reporting so your team understands what matters and how to fix it.
