GDPR VAPT
Article 32 Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing
Comprehensive VAPT satisfying GDPR Article 32 requirements for 'appropriate technical measures' including encryption, confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience testing. Evidence supports DPIAs, DPO reviews, DPA regulatory inquiries, and processor compliance obligations across the EU, UK, and adequacy jurisdictions.
How It Works
Personal Data Mapping
Identify systems processing personal data of EU/EEA data subjects, including special category data with heightened protection requirements.
Technical Measures VAPT
Validate the 'appropriate technical measures' required by Article 32 through comprehensive VAPT of encryption, access controls, and integrity mechanisms.
Breach Scenario Testing
Simulate breach vectors relevant to personal data compromise. Findings inform breach notification readiness and Article 33/34 preparation.
DPA Evidence Package
Reports formatted for Data Protection Authorities (DPAs), DPO reviews, and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs).

Benefits
Why teams choose TigerStrike for their security needs
Article 32 Aligned
Direct alignment with GDPR Article 32 requirements for pseudonymization, encryption, confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing systems.
DPIA Support
VAPT findings feed Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) required by Article 35 for high-risk processing, with quantified risk evidence.
Breach Prevention
Proactive identification of vulnerabilities that could lead to personal data breaches triggering 72-hour notification requirements under Article 33.
Processor Compliance
Data processors demonstrate GDPR compliance to controllers with VAPT evidence — a common Data Processing Agreement (DPA) requirement.
Cross-Border Transfer Security
Testing validates technical measures protecting personal data during international transfers under Chapter V, including Standard Contractual Clauses supplementary measures.
Regulatory Enforcement Defense
In enforcement actions, documented VAPT evidence demonstrates 'appropriate technical measures' — a key factor in DPA fine mitigation decisions.
