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
