Penetration Testing in Argentina
Penetration testing for Argentine companies: we find vulnerabilities before attackers do, aligned with Law 25.326 and the BCRA's requirements.
Argentina combines a powerful tech ecosystem —Buenos Aires is one of the region's major hubs for talent and software exports— with rapid adoption of digital banking and payments. That growth has widened the attack surface: ransomware, fraud and personal-data leaks are now daily risks for mid-sized and large companies.
A penetration test simulates a real, controlled attack against your applications, networks and infrastructure to discover where an adversary would get in and what they could compromise. Unlike an automated scan, we combine tooling with manual techniques that catch business-logic flaws, and deliver a report prioritized by real risk with concrete remediation steps.
Penetration testing and Data Protection Law 25.326
Law 25.326 on Personal Data Protection requires companies to adopt security measures to protect the personal data they handle, under the supervision of the Agency for Access to Public Information (AAIP). An incident exposing personal data can lead to AAIP investigations and sanctions, on top of reputational damage. Regular penetration testing is one of the strongest ways to demonstrate due diligence: it shows the organization actively assesses and fixes its vulnerabilities, not just that it has policies on paper. (A reform underway aims to modernize the regime and bring it closer to international standards like the GDPR, which would raise that bar even further.)
Financial sector: the BCRA's rules
If you operate in the financial system, the Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA) sets, through its 'A' Communications, technology and information-security requirements, including risk management and testing of systems. We scope the pentest to cover the surfaces the regulator and your customers care about most: digital channels, payment APIs, authentication and the exposure of sensitive data. The deliverable is built to hold up in a conversation with auditors, risk teams and the board.

Preguntas frecuentes — Argentina
There is no single rule requiring it of all companies. However, Law 25.326 requires implementing security measures over personal data, and the BCRA imposes stricter controls on the financial system. In practice, penetration testing is the standard way to demonstrate that those measures are effective, not just declarative.
Law 25.326 requires security measures to protect personal data. A pentest assesses whether those measures actually withstand an attack and produces documented evidence of the assessment and its remediation, useful to support the company's due diligence before the AAIP, clients and partners.
Yes. We work with companies across Argentina remotely, with the advantage of a shared time zone. We define the scope, testing windows and rules of engagement together before starting.
The recommended practice is at least once a year and, in addition, after significant changes: new applications, cloud migrations, payment integrations or infrastructure restructuring. For critical or fast-changing systems, a semiannual cadence greatly reduces the exposure window.
