Meet GDPR Data Accountability Requirements with Penti

Traditional pen testing for GDPR can move slowly and cause disruptions, whereas utilizing only automated scanners can overlook business‑logic and data exposure issues. Penti unifies the best of both methods in an Agentic‑AI engine that continuously probes your applications, APIs, cloud, and networks, maps data flows tied to personal data, and validates technical and organizational measures against GDPR regulations.

Our GDPR penetration testing services are designed for teams who need credible, audit‑ready evidence but don’t have the time or resources for a lengthy pentest. We provide prioritized findings, proof‑of‑exploit in a controlled environment, and remediation guidance that aligns with your timeline, including plus dashboards that demonstrate regular security testing and ongoing compliance to customers and auditors.
