Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ISO 27001 Pentests
The most important answers at a glance
Requirement
Does ISO 27001 require a penetration test?
No, however, the ISO/IEC 27001 standard does refer to regular technical security reviews to ensure that all relevant IT systems are as well protected as possible. Penetration tests are the most effective and best method to ensure this. An alternative is scanners, but they only find a fraction of the security gaps that a penetration test can uncover - so as a client, you should take a close look here.
Investment
How much does a penetration test cost to be ISO 27001 compliant?
The costs depend primarily on the scope of the test and the complexity of the systems to be tested. Sometimes only a simple website needs to be tested, sometimes an entire network. The costs can therefore vary greatly. Plan on costs starting at 5,000 euros for the entire pentest process. However, this value can also vary greatly upwards if very complex systems are involved.

Added Value
What are the benefits of a regular pentest in the context of ISO 27001?
If you test your systems regularly, you can ensure that they cannot be easily hacked by finding all security gaps and hopefully closing them promptly. With a well-planned pentest, you can also review existing security measures and adapt them if necessary. With a comprehensive pentest report, you can demonstrate to the auditor that you are taking full care of IT security.

The Most Important Question
Is a penetration test worthwhile within ISO 27001?
Short Answer
Yes, it is worthwhile - regardless of ISO 27001. The standard merely gives you a direction on how to improve your IT security!
The Detailed Explanation
If you want to obtain or maintain the ISO 27001 certificate, you should carry out regular security reviews. Once an ISMS has been professionally set up, it must be continuously optimized.
Annex A.18.2 clearly requires an independent review of IT security measures.
Annex A.12 addresses vulnerability management - penetration tests are a proven method here.
Prevent PII, intellectual property, or other sensitive data from falling into the wrong hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ISO 27001 penetration test?
ISO 27001 stipulates that IT security must be regularly reviewed by an independent third party as part of technical measures. This can be met with a penetration test. A penetration tester searches for security gaps in the IT system relevant to the organization.
How does an ISO 27001 penetration test work?
Basically, an ISO 27001 penetration test runs like a normal (good) penetration test. The test is discussed with the customer, the scope is defined, the methodology is determined, and then vulnerabilities are searched for in a structured manner, primarily manually but also semi-automatically. After completion of this test phase, the penetration testers write a final report that contains all vulnerabilities and security gaps found and informs the client how these can be closed.
What is tested in an ISO 27001 penetration test?
That depends very much on the organization and what is relevant to it. This can range from a simple webshop to the entire internal and external infrastructure. With the help of phishing, employees and their behavior can also be tested.
