Penetration Testing Services for European Organisations

Proactively identify exploitable vulnerabilities before attackers do. CyberSilo delivers expert-led penetration testing services across Europe, covering web applications, networks, cloud infrastructure, and full-scope red team engagements aligned with GDPR, DORA, and NIS2 requirements.

What Penetration Testing Demands From Your Organisation

European regulators increasingly require organisations to demonstrate proactive vulnerability management. Penetration testing is no longer optional — it is a core requirement under GDPR Article 32 (security of processing), NIS2 Article 21 (cybersecurity risk-management measures), and DORA Article 24 (digital operational resilience testing).

CyberSilo's ThreatHawk SIEM integrates seamlessly with our penetration testing methodology, providing continuous validation of test findings across your entire attack surface. Our Agentic SOC AI platform correlates your penetration test results with real-time threat intelligence to prioritise remediation based on exploit likelihood.

We deliver actionable penetration testing reports that map directly to your compliance requirements, reducing audit preparation time by up to 60%. Each engagement is conducted by CREST-certified ethical hackers who understand the nuances of European data protection and operational resilience regulations.
