Cyprus corporate service providers, fiduciary firms and law firms sit on some of the most concentrated personal-data risk in the economy: KYC files, beneficial-ownership registers and financial records for dozens or hundreds of client entities, all under GDPR as transposed by Law 125(I)/2018 and supervised by the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection, with CSPs additionally registered under the Central Bank's CSP regime.
We turn GDPR Article 32's requirement for "appropriate technical and organisational measures" into evidence: a manual penetration test of the systems that actually hold and move client data.
We test the systems that hold the data an attacker actually wants — client and case management platforms, document management and e-signature systems, email where instruction and payment fraud concentrates, and staff remote access — then review your third-party processors against the data-processing-agreement obligations GDPR places on anyone handling personal data on your behalf.
Why it matters
A CSP or fiduciary firm is an unusually efficient target: one breach can expose beneficial-ownership and financial data for dozens of unrelated client entities at once, which is exactly the kind of concentrated, high-value dataset that professional attackers look for. For a business built on discretion and client trust, the reputational cost of a breach is frequently worse than the regulatory one — and GDPR fines are real and public on top of that.
What we test
- Client & case management system penetration testing
- Document management & e-signature platform testing
- Email security & business email compromise exposure testing
- Remote access & staff VPN security review
- Third-party & data-processor access review
- GDPR Article 32 technical-measures gap analysis
Common vulnerabilities we uncover
- Client and beneficial-ownership data reachable through weak access controls
- Business email compromise exposure on payment and instruction workflows
- Legacy document-management systems with excessive permissions
- Third-party processors with no documented data-processing agreement oversight
- No tested incident-response process for a personal-data breach
- Missing evidence of GDPR Article 32 technical measures
How we run your engagement
- Kick-off & scoping. A short call to agree goals, in-scope assets and rules of engagement, so your corporate service provider & law firm gdpr penetration testing is safe, authorised and aimed at your real business risk.
- Mapping & discovery. Before touching anything we map the full attack surface in scope, so nothing exploitable slips through.
- Hands-on testing. Cyprus-based specialists exploit and chain weaknesses manually — the flaws scanners walk straight past — to show genuine impact.
- Reporting. Each issue is verified, CVSS-rated and documented with a step-by-step reproduction and a practical fix your team can apply.
- Free retest. Once you have remediated, we re-test at no extra cost to confirm the attack path is truly closed.
Tools & techniques
We manually test client and case management systems, document management and e-signature platforms, and email for business-email-compromise exposure — the workflow attackers actually target when they want to redirect a client payment or instruction. Remote access and staff VPN configurations are reviewed alongside your third-party processor relationships, since GDPR extends your responsibility to how those processors handle data on your behalf, not just your own systems.

Frequently asked questions
Does GDPR require penetration testing?
GDPR does not name penetration testing directly, but Article 32 requires "appropriate technical and organisational measures" to ensure ongoing security, and in practice the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection and any credible auditor expect that to be evidenced by regular, independent security testing.
Why are CSPs and fiduciary firms specifically targeted?
Because they concentrate exactly what attackers want in one place — client financial records, KYC files and beneficial-ownership data — across multiple client entities, making a single breach disproportionately damaging.
Do you test our document management and e-signature systems?
Yes. These hold some of the most sensitive client material a CSP handles, and are tested as a priority alongside case management and email.
What happens if you find a reportable data-protection gap?
We flag any critical finding immediately, not just in the final report, so you can begin remediation — and, if needed, take legal advice on notification obligations — without delay.
