Frequently Asked Questions

What is penetration testing, and why is it important?

Penetration testing — often called a pentest — is a controlled simulation of real-world cyberattacks targeting your systems, networks, or applications. The goal is to identify and safely validate vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. It’s one of the most effective ways to measure your organization’s cyber resilience, strengthen defences, and meet security or compliance requirements for data protection.

How often should a penetration test be performed?

Most organizations benefit from conducting a penetration test at least annually, or whenever significant changes are made to systems, applications, or network infrastructure. Regular testing ensures that new deployments, patches, or integrations have not introduced hidden vulnerabilities — helping maintain a strong and adaptive security posture over time.

How does penetration testing benefit tech startups, SaaS, and other tech companies?

Penetration testing is critical to maintaining customer trust, protecting intellectual property, and meeting compliance standards like SOC 2 or ISO 27001. By simulating real-world cyberattacks, Welch LLP helps identify vulnerabilities in code, APIs, on-prem and cloud environments before they’re exploited. By taking a proactive stance on cybersecurity, your organization not only enhances its defensive capabilities but also builds confidence among investors, clients, and partners, reinforcing trust and accountability in an increasingly competitive market.
