Assess the resilience of your systems with a penetration test
Penetration tests (or pentests) are a proactive method to identify vulnerabilities in your systems, networks, and applications before they can be exploited by malicious actors.
At Cyber-SSI, we offer tailored penetration tests to assess the security of your infrastructure, anticipate risks, and strengthen your defense posture.
Why perform a penetration test?
Penetration tests are an essential tool for strengthening an organization’s cybersecurity. They help identify exploitable weaknesses in systems, applications, or networks, providing a clear view of vulnerable areas. By simulating real-world attacks, they assess the resilience of your infrastructure against concrete threats, revealing weaknesses before malicious actors can exploit them. These tests also validate the effectiveness of existing security measures, allowing for adjustments if needed. By anticipating and fixing vulnerabilities, companies significantly reduce the risk of costly breaches—protecting not only their data, but also their reputation and the trust of their clients.
Our working methods
Scoping and preparation
1
Definition of test objectives and scope (applications, networks, cloud infrastructures, etc.).
Agreement on modalities (black-box, gray-box or white-box testing).
Information gathering and analysis
2
Map your infrastructure and identify potential entry points.
Use of advanced tools and manual techniques to collect data.
Exploiting vulnerabilities
3
Simulation of realistic attacks to exploit identified vulnerabilities.
Assessment of the potential impact on your organization.
Reporting and recommendations
4
Delivery of a detailed report with identified vulnerabilities, their level of criticality and proof of exploitation.
Proposal of priority corrective measures to enhance your safety.
Post-test support
5
Assistance with patch implementation.
Perform validation tests to ensure that flaws have been corrected.
Types of penetration tests offered
External intrusion test
Assessment of systems exposed to the Internet (websites, servers, VPNs, etc.).
Simulate attacks from outside your network.
Internal intrusion test
Simulation of attacks from inside your network (e.g. malicious employees or compromised access).
Risk assessment for internal users.
Web application penetration testing
Analysis of web application vulnerabilities (SQL injections, XSS, CSRF, etc.).
Compliance with OWASP Top 10 standards.
Mobile application penetration testing
Security assessment of mobile applications (iOS, Android).
Detection of storage, communication and code vulnerabilities.
Penetration testing of cloud infrastructures
Audit configurations and security policies on Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, etc.
Identification of data exposure and insecure access.

Frequently asked questions
What are the cybersecurity obligations of companies in Europe?
European companies face several cybersecurity regulations:
- NIS 2 : Governance, incident management and risk analysis for critical sectors
- DORA: Obligations specific to the financial sector
- RGPD: Personal data protection
- Industry standards : Additional requirements by field of activity
All companies need to demonstrate their compliance to avoid sanctions, loss of confidence and business stoppages.
What are the obligations of local authorities, departments and public bodies (EPCI)?
The NIS2 directive requires public bodies in key sectors (municipalities >30,000 inhabitants, regions, départements, metropolises, SDIS, EPICs and critical public establishments) to strengthen their cybersecurity governance, analyze their risks, implement appropriate measures, notify significant incidents and supervise their service providers.
These organizations must verify their status and comply with these requirements to ensure the safety and continuity of their essential services.
Why use penetration tests and configuration audits?
Penetration tests simulate real-life attacks to identify exploitable flaws in your systems before the hackers do.
Configuration audits reveal errors and vulnerabilities in your infrastructure (servers, workstations, AD, cloud, network).
These steps reduce your attack surface and enable you to draw up concrete action plans to strengthen your operational security.
What's the difference between DORA / NIS2 and a standard like ISO 27001?
The DORA and NIS2 directives are binding legal regulations or guidelines. They set out what you have to do. ISO 27001 is a voluntary best practice framework, which helps you structure a compliant and effective security approach.
In short: European legislation imposes obligations on you, and the ISO standard helps you to meet them.
How can local authorities be supported?
Our company supports local authorities and public bodies in their NIS2 compliance with solutions tailored to their resources: customized consulting (from maturity analysis to full ISMS), implementation of continuity plans (SMCA/PCA/PRA), supplier risk management, and incident response procedures.
We reinforce their operational security with penetration tests, configuration audits, system hardening in line with ANSSI recommendations, attack surface reduction, and integration of real-time detection solutions.
What kind of support is needed for finance companies?
We support financial players (banks, fintechs, crypto/DeFi platforms) in their compliance with DORA, ISO 27001, SOC 2 and regulator requirements (AMF, ACPR, DFIC, VARA) by combining regulatory and technical expertise.
Our part-time consultants and CISOs structure your cybersecurity governance, manage your risk analyses, supervise your critical service providers and reinforce your operational security with penetration tests, incident response plans and monitoring solutions.
Why am I being asked for security guarantees if I'm not subject to NIS2 or DORA?
Even if you are not directly subject to regulation, your customers may be. NIS2 and DORA require regulated companies to supervise their suppliers and service providers.
Without proof of safety (certifications, audit reports, action plans), you risk being excluded from their tenders and partnerships.
