Information Security Regulations

Penetration Testing Requirements Covered by Bishop Fox

PCI DSS

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requires penetration testing at least annually and upon any significant environment changes. This can include external and internal network testing, cloud testing, or application testing approaches depending on architecture. Requirements state penetration testing should be performed.

HIPAA

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) mandates that security measures are in place for protected health information (PHI) data. Depending on network architecture, regular network, cloud, and application penetration testing are critical for evaluating how an organization adheres to the strict privacy, security, and breach notification rules of HIPAA.

SOC2

SOC 2 is a common security framework that specifies how organizations should protect customer data. Though technically not a requirement to pass a SOC 2 audit, Penetration testing is a common step towards achieving SOC 2 compliance, as it touches on many of the trust service principal that the evaluation is based on.

ISO 27001

ISO 27001 covers the management of information security risks, policies, objectives, roles, responsibilities, and more. This standard mandates management of technical vulnerabilities and system security testing to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in information security systems, which can be satisfied by network, cloud, and application penetration testing.

GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an EU regulation that concerns data protection and privacy for EU citizens. Article 32 of the GDPR requires organizations to have a process for regularly assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of data security measures. Regular network, cloud, and/or application penetration testing satisfies this requirement.

NIST

Many organizations voluntarily leverage the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) as an anchor to their security program. Regular network, cloud, and/or application penetration testing are extremely useful in strategically contributing to the five core NIST functions of identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover.

OWASP

The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) is one of the preeminent non-profit resources in the domain of software security. The OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) and the OWASP Top Ten are commonly used standards that customers desire and Bishop Fox can execute on during application and/or cloud penetration testing services.

CREST

CREST is an international, not-for-profit, membership body representing the cybersecurity industry. It requires members to undergo a rigorous accreditation that holds operating standards, personnel, testing approaches, and data security to the highest standard. Bishop Fox is a CREST-accredited service provider.
