DORA and PCI DSS
Article will help to introduce DORA requirements to those who have years of cybersecurity experience but are very new to DORA.
Several factors can influence the selection of the right penetration testing for your business. These factors include:
These are just a few examples of how different types of penetration tests can be applied based on the specific requirements and infrastructures of the clients. Customizing the penetration testing approach to meet each organization’s unique needs and security concerns is essential.
The client is a startup operating in the market for a few years, providing a cloud-based SaaS solution. They serve 5000 external users. They have never conducted a penetration test. Their internal and external infrastructure is on the cloud.
The client is a financial service provider processing cardholder data, requiring annual PCI DSS certification. Their infrastructure is a mix of on-cloud and on-premise.

A threat model helped prioritize vulnerabilities, leading to the identification of a phishing attack chain that bypassed MFA and allowed unauthorized transactions.
Poor network segmentation enabled an attacker to pivot from internal access to full cloud takeover.
Web Application Penetration Testing fortifies your online presence by uncovering vulnerabilities before cybercriminals exploit them. Benefit from enhanced security, regulatory compliance, reduced risks, safeguarded reputation, and cost-effective mitigation.
The adversary simulation activity helped the client identify and remediate multiple issues with the on-premise infrastructure and vulnerabilities, calculate potential risks, and improve the overall security posture. Each finding also included proposed solutions for applying industry-standard defences.
Weak authentication and poor segmentation enabled privilege escalation from VPN access to full domain control.
