Regulatory & Compliance Penetration Testing
Your regulators now demand independent penetration testing — and they're getting stricter. Brazil's BCB 538 & CMN 5.274, Mexico's upcoming AI legislation, and the EU AI Act all require specialized, independent security assessments. We don't just find vulnerabilities; we deliver the audit-ready reports your compliance team needs to satisfy regulators and board directors.
Assessment Types
Our Methodology
Regulatory Scoping & Gap Analysis
We map your compliance requirements (BCB 538, PCI DSS, SOC 2, EU AI Act) to specific testing objectives. Define scope, testing windows, rules of engagement, and regulatory deliverables.
Reconnaissance & Attack Surface Mapping
Passive and active reconnaissance to map your entire attack surface. Including systems subject to regulatory mandates: payment processing, customer data stores, and AI systems.
Vulnerability Discovery & Exploitation
Manual testing by certified operators (OSCP, OSEP, CPTS). We validate each vulnerability with proof-of-concept exploitation, mapping findings directly to compliance control failures.
Post-Exploitation & Business Impact Analysis
Where authorized, we demonstrate real-world impact: privilege escalation, data exfiltration, and lateral movement. Each finding includes CVSS scores and business risk quantification.
Compliance-Ready Reporting & Remediation Support
Audit-ready reports that satisfy your regulators, CISO, and board. Executive summary, technical findings, compliance gap mapping, remediation roadmap, and free validation retest within 90 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Brazilian regulation really require independent pentesting?+
Yes. BCB Resolution 538 and CMN 5.274 now mandate that financial institutions undergo penetration testing by an independent, specialized firm at least annually. Non-compliance can result in regulatory sanctions.
How is this different from a vulnerability scan?+
Regulators distinguish between automated scanning and manual penetration testing. A scanner finds known CVEs. Our operators chain vulnerabilities, exploit business logic flaws, and demonstrate real-world attack paths — which is what auditors want to see.
Do your reports satisfy regulatory auditors?+
Yes. Our reports are designed for dual audiences: technical teams get exploitation details and remediation steps, while your compliance and executive teams get risk quantification, control gap mapping, and audit-ready documentation.
How often should we test for compliance?+
BCB mandates annual testing minimum. PCI DSS requires annual plus after significant changes. We recommend quarterly for critical financial systems. Our Continuous AI Assurance service covers ongoing monitoring between formal assessments.
Turn compliance into competitive advantage
Don't wait for your regulator to find the gaps. Our independent assessments deliver audit-ready reports that satisfy BCB, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and EU AI Act requirements.
