Compliance & Regulatory Penetration Testing

For many organizations, penetration testing is not just a security best practice -- it is a mandatory compliance requirement. DarkPoint Security delivers penetration testing engagements structured to satisfy the specific documentation, scope, and reporting expectations of major regulatory frameworks and industry standards.

Our audit-ready reports provide the evidence that your compliance team, auditors, and regulators need, including detailed vulnerability findings, CVSS severity classifications, remediation guidance, and retesting validation. Whether you are preparing for a PCI DSS audit, SOC 2 examination, PIPEDA compliance review, or OSFI assessment, DarkPoint ensures your penetration testing meets the standard.

PCI DSS

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard requires annual penetration testing under Requirement 11.3 for any organization that processes, stores, or transmits cardholder data. Our testing covers internal and external network assessments, application-layer testing, and network segmentation validation with reports accepted by QSAs.

SOC 2

SOC 2 Type II audits evaluate the effectiveness of your security controls over time. Penetration testing provides critical evidence for the Security trust service criteria, demonstrating that your organization actively identifies and remediates vulnerabilities. Our reports are structured to support your audit evidence package.

PIPEDA

Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act requires organizations to protect personal information with security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the data. Our penetration testing helps demonstrate that your organization has implemented adequate technical safeguards against unauthorized access and data breaches.

OSFI B-13

OSFI Guideline B-13 requires federally regulated financial institutions in Canada to manage technology and cyber risk through regular security assessments. Our penetration testing aligns with B-13 expectations for ongoing technology risk management, providing the evidence that demonstrates proactive identification and remediation of security weaknesses.
