Penetration Testing in Chile

Penetration testing for Chilean companies: we find vulnerabilities before attackers do, aligned with the new Cybersecurity Framework Law and the CMF's requirements.

Chile is one of the region's most digitally mature markets, with an advanced financial sector and growing regulatory demand around cybersecurity. The Cybersecurity Framework Law (Law 21.663) and the new data protection law raised the bar: ransomware, fraud and data leaks are no longer just an operational risk, but a compliance one too.

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 the Cybersecurity Framework Law (21.663)

Law 21.663 (the Cybersecurity Framework Law) created the National Cybersecurity Agency (ANCI) and set obligations for risk management and incident reporting, especially for operators of vital importance. In that context, technically testing your defenses is no longer optional: regular penetration testing is one of the strongest ways to demonstrate that you actively manage your vulnerabilities, not just that you have policies on paper. We help you understand what the new framework requires and arrive prepared.

Financial sector and data protection

If you are an entity supervised by the Financial Market Commission (CMF), operational-risk and cybersecurity rules require technical assessments of your systems and digital channels. At the same time, Law 19.628 —and the new Law 21.719, which modernizes data protection and creates the Personal Data Protection Agency (APDP)— require protecting personal data with effective measures. We scope the pentest to cover the surfaces the regulator and your customers care about most.

Remote work, nationwide coverage

We serve companies in Santiago, Valparaíso, Concepción and the rest of the country fully remotely. Penetration testing requires no physical presence: we work on your environments with clear rules of engagement, agreed windows and constant communication. This lets us offer certified talent at a competitive cost, with the time-zone proximity and language an offshore firm can't match.

Preguntas frecuentes — Chile

There is no single rule requiring it of all companies. However, the Cybersecurity Framework Law (21.663) imposes risk-management obligations on operators of vital importance, and the CMF requires controls in the financial sector. In practice, penetration testing is the standard way to demonstrate that your security measures are effective, not just declarative.

Law 21.663 requires certain operators to manage their cybersecurity risks and report incidents to ANCI. A pentest assesses whether your defenses actually withstand an attack and produces documented evidence of the assessment and its remediation, useful to support your due diligence before the new framework, clients and partners.

Yes. We work with companies across Chile 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.
