Our testing methodology is meticulously designed to ensure there are no disruptions to your GCP services. We prioritize maintaining the integrity, performance, and availability of your cloud environment throughout the testing process. Our approach involves non-invasive techniques and close coordination with your team to ensure seamless operations.

For robust security, Google Cloud penetration testing is recommended at least annually, aligning with industry best practices. However, more frequent testing is advisable in certain situations, such as: 

  • Prior to launching new systems or applications in the cloud. 
  • Following significant updates or changes to your network architecture. 
  • Before undergoing compliance audits or regulatory assessments. 
  • In the aftermath of any security incidents or breaches. 
  • Prior to major corporate events, including mergers and acquisitions.  

This cadence ensures that your GCP environment remains resilient against new and evolving cyber threats, keeping your cloud infrastructure secure and compliant. 

The assessment is primarily rooted in the CIS Google Cloud Computing Platform Foundations Benchmark. Additionally, we integrate other recognized security frameworks and penetration testing methodologies, including NIST, OSSTMM, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework. This comprehensive approach ensures that we cover a wide range of modern exploits and security flaws that could be leveraged in real-world hacking attempts on your Google Cloud Infrastructure.
