Penetration Testing for the Technology Sector
Technology companies handle vast amounts of sensitive data. You must defend your systems and third-party connections. Strong cybersecurity plans with thorough manual penetration tests protect your business from data breaches and costly downtime.
Overview
How We Secure Technology.
Secure your sensitive data and third-party connections with a Pentest.
Significant cyber threats target the technology sector due to the sensitive data that tech firms and their vendors manage. Creating a detailed cybersecurity roadmap is vital. Manual penetration testing makes up over 95% of our approach. This method protects you from operational downtime, reputational harm, and financial losses.
The tech industry faces high risks of data breaches. Our SOC 2 Type II-accredited team of OSCP-certified ethical hackers offers comprehensive services. You receive strong protection to improve your security posture.
Threat picture
How SaaS and Technology Companies Get Attacked.
For a software business the product is the attack surface, and the thing customers ask about before they sign.
Tenant isolation failures
In multi-tenant software, the worst possible finding is one customer reading another customer's data. It usually comes from a query that filters on a resource identifier without also checking the tenant. We test this first because it is the finding that ends contracts.
API and token handling
Your API is the real product surface. Tokens that never expire, scopes that grant more than they should, and endpoints the front end never calls but the server still answers are all routine findings.
CI/CD and build pipeline access
A pipeline with production credentials is a shortcut to everything. Secrets in build logs, over-permissive deploy keys and unprotected branches give an attacker a way to ship their own code through your own process.
Dependency and supply chain risk
Modern applications carry hundreds of third-party packages. We look at what is out of date, what is unmaintained, and what has known exploits reachable from your code rather than just present in it.
What we deliver
What Pluto Cyber Security Offers Technology Clients.
Surpass Compliance
A certified tester helps your technology firm stay compliant with SOC 2, NIST SP 800-115, ITSG-33, ISO, COBIT, CIS Controls, and OSSTMM. You avoid confusion and meet every requirement without missing key steps. Compliance becomes easier when your team has a clear understanding of security priorities.
Leverage Expert Insights
Over 30 OSCP-certified ethical hackers work as one team to support your goals. You discover security gaps early and act fast to protect your operations before threats cause damage. You also gain industry-specific recommendations that apply to your tech stack and business model.
Guarantee Cyber Insurance Eligibility
Penetration tests improve your chances of getting approved for cyber insurance. You reduce your risk score and lower your premiums through real action instead of reports alone. Insurance providers value proactive testing that proves ongoing security efforts.
Fortify Security Posture
Global attacks continue to rise, and every breach leaves a lasting impact. You strengthen your defenses through expert testing and gain clarity on the weak points in your systems. This insight helps your developers build secure code and close exposure points early.
Expose What Others Miss
Automated scans stop at the surface, but manual testing digs deeper. You uncover logic flaws and trust issues that attackers target when no one is watching. Our testers mimic real-world attacks so you understand what a breach would look like before it happens.
Make Faster Security Decisions
You need answers that match how modern threats work. Our team shows how one small gap can break your system and gives you the proof to act before damage begins. You get clear, prioritized reports that help leadership act quickly and confidently.
Compliance
What Technology Companies Have to Answer To.
For most software businesses the pressure comes from customers rather than regulators. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 are the two that appear most often in enterprise procurement, and both expect evidence of regular technical testing.
Enterprise security questionnaires are the other reality. They ask when you last tested, who tested, what was found and whether it was fixed. A recent report with a retest confirming closure answers most of a questionnaire on its own, which is often worth more than the test itself.
If you process personal data for customers you are a processor under UK GDPR, and Article 28 obligations flow down to you through their contracts. We flag findings that touch that relationship separately so your legal team can see them without reading the whole report.

- NIST SP 800-115
- ISO 27001
- OSSTMM
Yes, and it is the work we do most. We ask for accounts in at least two separate tenants plus each role level within them, because tenant isolation cannot be tested from a single account. Testing normally runs against staging with production configuration, and we agree anything touching live data in advance.
