Penetration Testing 

At LeSoft, we prioritize the security of your data and are committed to adhering to the highest standards of cybersecurity. In line with UK regulations, we conduct regular penetration testing to identify and address potential vulnerabilities within our systems. 

 

Regulatory Framework 

LeSoft’s approach to penetration testing is guided by the following UK regulations: 

  • UK GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation): Article 32 mandates that organizations implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk. This includes regular testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of security measures . 
  • Data Protection Act 2018: This Act complements the UK GDPR and reinforces the need for robust data protection measures, including regular security testing . 
  • Cyber Security and Resilience Bill (Proposed): This upcoming legislation aims to strengthen the UK’s cyber defences and resilience to hostile attacks, ensuring that critical infrastructure and digital services are protected by addressing vulnerabilities . 

 

Our Penetration Testing Practices 

To comply with these regulations and ensure the security of your data, LeSoft undertakes the following penetration testing practices: 

  • Frequency: Penetration testing is conducted at least annually, with additional tests performed after significant changes to our IT infrastructure or systems. 
  • Scope: Tests cover both internal and external systems, including web applications, databases, and network infrastructures that handle personal data. 
  • Methodology: We employ industry-standard methodologies and tools to simulate real-world cyberattacks, identifying potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. 
  • Third-Party Audits: Where applicable, we engage certified third-party security experts to conduct independent penetration tests, ensuring an unbiased assessment of our security posture.
