Cyber Audit and Pentest: Everything you need to know
Through this guide, understand the differences between a cyber audit and a penetration test, their objectives and results, and how the Bastion approach combines the best of both worlds for complete protection.
Carrying out regular cyber audits or pentests ensures that your cybersecurity measures are working properly, and protects your business over the long term.
The cyber audit aims to identify all of a company's potential weaknesses - including exploitable technical vulnerabilities - while comparing the company's security level and measures against best practices and recommendations from reference organizations such as ANSSI, or standards and regulations such as ISO27001, RGPD, NIS2, or DORA.
The size of your company, the complexity of its information systems and the audit objectives are factors which can influence the duration of a cyber audit.
A pentest, or penetration test, simulates a malicious attack to identify exploitable vulnerabilities in an information system.
