Penetration Testing Services for European Businesses

European businesses operating under GDPR, DORA, or NIS2 face specific technical security requirements that go beyond checkbox compliance. GDPR Article 32 requires organisations to implement appropriate technical security measures — penetration testing is the primary method regulators and auditors expect for demonstrating this. DORA requires EU financial services firms to conduct threat-led penetration testing on critical systems. NIS2, which came into force across EU member states in October 2024, mandates security testing for essential and important entities across 18 sectors.

Securify delivers penetration testing structured to produce documentation that satisfies all three frameworks. Reports are written in English. Data handling meets EU GDPR requirements throughout the engagement.

Penetration Testing Pricing for European Businesses

All engagements are fixed-scope and fixed-price. Written quote within 24 hours of scoping call. Prices available in GBP or EUR at current exchange rates.

GDPR and DORA engagements include report formatting structured for DPA submission and regulatory review. NIS2 scoping is agreed per engagement based on the entity classification and critical functions in scope.

GDPR Article 32 — Penetration Testing as a Technical Measure

Article 32 of GDPR requires controllers and processors to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk. The European Data Protection Board has consistently cited penetration testing as a primary method for demonstrating that this requirement has been met — particularly for organisations processing sensitive personal data at scale.

Securify’s GDPR-aligned penetration testing engagements document the scope, methodology, findings, and remediation steps in a format structured for DPA review, ISO 27001 audit evidence, and internal compliance records. The report can be submitted directly as evidence of your Article 32 technical security evaluation without modification.

DORA — Mandatory Penetration Testing for EU Financial Services

The Digital Operational Resilience Act requires EU financial services entities — banks, payment institutions, investment firms, insurance companies, and crypto-asset service providers — to conduct threat-led penetration testing on their critical ICT systems and to maintain documentation of those tests for regulatory review by their national competent authority.

DORA distinguishes between standard penetration testing, which all in-scope entities must conduct regularly, and TLPT (Threat-Led Penetration Testing), which significant entities must conduct every three years using threat intelligence to drive the test scope. Securify supports European financial services firms with both levels of DORA penetration testing requirement, producing the structured documentation that national competent authorities require for review.

NIS2 — Security Testing for Essential and Important Entities

NIS2 came into force across EU member states in October 2024. It applies to medium and large organisations in 18 critical sectors including energy, transport, banking, financial market infrastructure, health, drinking water, digital infrastructure, and managed service providers. Article 21 of NIS2 requires in-scope organisations to implement appropriate and proportionate technical and organisational security measures — including regular security testing of their networks and information systems.

Securify conducts NIS2-aligned penetration testing for essential and important entities, producing a structured report that maps findings to the relevant Article 21 security measure requirements and provides a remediation roadmap prioritised by risk level.
