Managed Penetration Testing
A Continuous Security Service
Strengthen your security posture while reducing the operational workload on internal teams. adorsys Managed Penetration Testing (MPT) helps organizations transform fragmented penetration testing activities into a structured, continuous security program aligned with regulatory requirements such as DORA and NIS2, coordinated by experienced offensive security specialists.
The Challenge
Application, infrastructure, and security teams must continuously adapt to the growing capabilities of potential attackers. At the same time, organisations across all industries face increasing regulatory requirements and increasingly complex digital infrastructures. Internal security teams are expected to cover governance, compliance, and operational security responsibilities simultaneously. Despite this, many organisations still rely on sporadic penetration tests, often sourced individually from external providers. This approach can create several challenges:
In line with the ongoing evolution of digital platforms, penetration testing must evolve from isolated projects into a coordinated and continuous security capability.
Our Approach
Managed Coordination
adorsys acts as the central coordination point between security teams, development teams, infrastructure teams, and trusted penetration testing partners, reducing internal effort and friction while ensuring efficient execution and consistent, professional results.
Structured Framework
Our structured Prepare – Execute – Finalize framework ensures a repeatable testing cycle, standardized reporting, and consistent support and remediation tracking — aligned with regulatory requirements such as DORA and NIS2.
Customizing
We propose a proven best-practice approach that can be tailored to customer-specific requirements — for example through the adaptation of individual process steps or by assigning tasks either to our team or to your internal employees.

Our 3-Phase Managed Penetration Testing Framework
Prepare
The preparation phase ensures that the scope and focus are jointly defined and that all necessary activities, information, test data, accounts, timelines, etc. are aligned between the organizational environment and the penetration testers.
💻 Outcome:
Clearly defined scope, objectives, and a well-prepared testing environment to minimize delays and ensure efficient execution.
Execute
During the execution phase, certified penetration testing partners perform the tests while adorsys coordinates all communication and processes.
💻 Outcome:
Efficient testing execution with transparent communication and high-quality, well-documented security findings.
Finalize
The final phase focuses on reporting, remediation support, re-testing, and initiating continuous improvement measures.
💻 Outcome:
Transparency regarding the current security status, efficient remediation cycles, and continuous strengthening of the organization’s overall security posture.
