At CybEthic, we don't write security policies or sell theoretical consulting. We are the technical validation arm.
Our Methodology is Aligned with Global Standards
OWASP ASVS 5.0.0 (2025)
Application Security Verification Standard — mapping requirements to security levels L1/L2/L3.
NIST SP 800-218 (SSDF)
Secure Software Development Framework — validating secure development lifecycle.

Take the Assessment →Our Approach
We don't design controls
We test their limits. We simulate real attacks to validate effectiveness.
We don't implement programs
We verify effectiveness against real-world attacks, providing evidence of exploitability.
Certified Expertise
Our tests are led by experts with elite certifications (OSCP, OSCE).
The Separation of Duties
Implementation vs. Assessment
Role A: Implementation
Internal Team / GRC Consultant - The "Build": design ISMS, write risk registers, deploy defenses.
Compliance Partner:
ComplyDev
Role B: Security Assessment
CybEthic Team — The "Exam": objective third party. We do not fix the holes; we find them and prove they can be exploited.
Penetration Testing Requirements by Framework
| Framework | Key Requirement | Independence Expected |
|---|---|---|
| CRA | Products without known exploitable vulnerabilities | Often mandatory for high‑risk classes |
| DORA | Digital operational resilience testing; TLPT | Mandatory for TLPT |
| NIS2 | Assess effectiveness of technical measures | Recommended for audit defensibility |
