Pen test (English)
Laatst gewijzigd op: 18-03-2025Both large and small companies are increasingly facing cybercrime, such as ransomware attacks and data breaches. A good digital lock on the door is necessary. The level and condition of digital security can be assessed by companies through a penetration test.
In a pen test (short for ‘penetration test’), researchers take on the role of a malicious hacker. They attempt to identify vulnerabilities in various ways by using the same methods as cybercriminals. This exposes weaknesses in a website, application, or the entire IT infrastructure. After a penetration test, you’ll be aware of the risk points in your system. You can then address these risks with targeted measures.
Why choose a pen test with CCV certification?
To ensure that providers of penetration tests deliver high-quality work, the CCV certification for Pen tests has been developed. As with door locks and car alarm systems, it’s important that the digital security of your business is in order. Independent supervision of the quality of pen test services is an important step in the fight against cybercriminals. The cyber security sector in the Netherlands is constantly evolving. New companies and initiatives are launched almost daily, without mandatory quality checks. Given the digital vulnerability of Dutch businesses, this is undesirable. Thanks to the CCV certification for Pen tests, you can be assured that the provider of the pen test delivers good quality work.
