ISO 27001 Pen Testing & VAPT
Compliance pen testing for ISO 27001:2022 Annex A technological controls
Continuous ISO 27001 pen testing and VAPT aligned to the 2022 Annex A revision — A.8.8 vulnerability management, A.8.29 security testing in development, A.5.23 cloud security, and A.5.35 independent review. ISMS Stage 1 / Stage 2 and surveillance audit evidence with ISO 27017, 27018, 27701 and 42001 cross-mapping.
Four steps. One continuous pen testing loop.
ISMS Scope & SoA
Align ISO 27001 pen testing coverage to the ISMS scope, Statement of Applicability, and risk treatment plan. Map in-scope assets to Annex A technological controls so each control has corresponding pen testing evidence.
Annex A Pen Testing
AI-driven ISO 27001 pen testing executes web, API, cloud, and network VAPT against in-scope systems — directly addressing A.8 technological controls, including A.8.8 vulnerability management and A.8.29 security testing in development and acceptance.
Continuous Evidence
ISMS certification is a continuous obligation, not a one-time audit. TigerStrike produces continuous ISO 27001 VAPT evidence between Stage 2 certification and each surveillance audit, with timestamped methodology and remediation lifecycle.
Certification & Surveillance
Certification body auditors access a secure portal containing pen testing scope, methodology, evidence, and control mapping. Supports Stage 1 and Stage 2 certification, annual surveillance audits, and the three-year recertification cycle.
Key Features
Complete ISO 27001:2022 Annex A pen testing coverage
A.5 Organisational Controls
Pen testing supports organisational controls that depend on technical evidence — access management, supplier security, incident management, and independent review (A.5.35)
A.8 Technological Controls
Comprehensive ISO 27001 pen testing coverage of the 34 technological controls — access control, cryptography, systems security, communications security, and application security
A.8.8 Technical Vulnerability Management
Continuous vulnerability identification, validated exploitation, and remediation tracking — the operational evidence auditors expect for A.8.8 beyond a single annual pen testing report
A.8.9 Configuration Management
Testing of configuration drift, hardening, and secure defaults across web, cloud, and infrastructure — producing pen testing evidence for A.8.9 configuration management
A.8.20 Network Security
Network segmentation validation, firewall rule review, egress testing, and lateral movement simulation — the technical pen testing evidence for A.8.20
A.8.23 Web Filtering
Testing of web application firewalls, egress filtering, and DNS security controls — producing pen testing evidence for A.8.23 web filtering control effectiveness
A.8.24 Use of Cryptography
TLS configuration review, cipher suite analysis, key management review, and algorithm strength validation — ISO 27001 pen testing evidence for A.8.24
A.8.29 Security Testing in Development
CI/CD-integrated ISO 27001 VAPT runs on every build and acceptance test — the exact evidence pattern A.8.29 demands for secure development and acceptance
A.5.23 Cloud Services Security
Cloud VAPT aligned to ISO 27017 cloud-specific controls for AWS, Azure and GCP — producing dual A.5.23 and ISO 27017 compliance pentest evidence
Statement of Applicability Mapping
Every pen testing finding automatically maps to the specific Annex A control(s) in your Statement of Applicability — the one artefact certification body auditors always open first
Stage 1 / Stage 2 / Surveillance Ready
Pen testing evidence structured for the ISO 27001 compliance audit lifecycle — Stage 1 readiness review, Stage 2 certification audit, annual surveillance audits, and three-year recertification
Internal Audit Enablement
Internal auditors use pre-collected ISMS pen testing evidence for Annex A technical controls — reducing internal audit preparation time by 70% and strengthening certification-body-facing evidence
Benefits
Why teams choose TigerStrike for their security needs
Built for ISO 27001:2022
Full alignment with the 2022 revision of ISO 27001 and its restructured Annex A — 93 controls across 4 themes. Organisations transitioning from ISO 27001:2013 receive automatic mapping between the old and new control structures for audit continuity.
Statement of Applicability Mapping
Every ISO 27001 pen testing finding maps to the specific Annex A control(s) declared applicable in your SoA. Internal and external auditors see at a glance that declared applicable controls are actually being tested — the exact evidence certification bodies want.
A.8.8 Satisfied as a Programme
A.8.8 (Management of Technical Vulnerabilities) demands an ongoing programme, not an annual report. Continuous ISO 27001 pen testing operates as that programme — identification, validated exploitation, remediation tracking, and retest cycles across the ISMS lifetime.
A.8.29 Development & Acceptance
A.8.29 requires security testing during development and acceptance. CI/CD-integrated ISO 27001 VAPT runs on every build and acceptance stage, producing continuous evidence that supersedes point-in-time penetration testing engagements.
Surveillance-Audit Clean
Between certification and surveillance audits, continuous VAPT ensures the ISMS remains effective. Surveillance auditors receive chronologically-organised evidence showing conformance to declared controls — surveillance audits proceed without pen testing findings.
ISO 27017, 27018, 27701, 42001 Ready
A single ISO 27001 pen testing engagement also produces evidence for ISO 27017 (cloud controls), ISO 27018 (public cloud PII protection), ISO 27701 (privacy information management), and ISO 42001 (AI management systems) — a true multi-standard compliance pentest.
