Penetration Testing in Mexico
Penetration testing for companies in Mexico: we find the vulnerabilities before attackers do, with an approach aligned to your data protection obligations.
Mexico is consistently one of the countries that receives the most cyberattack attempts in Latin America. The growth of digital banking, e-commerce and fintech services has expanded the attack surface of Mexican companies, while ransomware and personal-data theft have become routine incidents at mid-sized and large organizations.
A penetration test simulates a real, controlled attack against your applications, networks and infrastructure to discover how an adversary would get in and what they could compromise. Unlike an automated scan, our team combines tooling with manual techniques to find business-logic flaws that scanners miss, and delivers a report prioritized by real risk with concrete remediation steps.
Penetration testing and data protection in Mexico
Mexico's Federal Law on the Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (LFPDPPP) requires companies to implement administrative, physical and technical security measures to protect the personal data they handle. A security incident that exposes personal data can lead to liability 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.
Regulated sectors: fintech and financial services
If you operate under Mexico's Fintech Law or are supervised by the CNBV, information-security controls and technical assessments stop being optional. We scope the pentest to cover the surfaces a regulator and your customers care about most: payment APIs, authentication, session handling, and the exposure of sensitive data. The deliverable is built to hold up in a conversation with auditors, compliance teams and boards.

Preguntas frecuentes — Mexico
There is no single law that says 'run a pentest every year' for all companies. However, the LFPDPPP requires reasonable security measures over personal data, and sectors such as financial services (CNBV, Fintech Law) impose stricter controls. In practice, penetration testing is the standard way to demonstrate that those measures are effective, not just declarative.
The LFPDPPP requires implementing and maintaining 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 clients, partners and authorities.
Yes. We work with companies across Mexico 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.
