German Penetration Testing Services for Payment, Healthcare, and Complex System Environments

As the original penetration testing entity, binsec GmbH forms the operational foundation of binsec group GmbH. Since 2013, our permanently employed, highly certified experts (including OSCP, OSCE) have been conducting professional penetration tests based on international standards. With this extensive operational experience in the payment, banking, and healthcare sectors, we assess your business-critical systems from the perspective of advanced attackers.

Specializing in manual analysis, we clearly distinguish our services from automated vulnerability scans: Decisive security vulnerabilities are identified through structured manual analysis. This methodological expertise is also directly integrated into practical pentest training labs via binsec academy GmbH. We tailor the approach precisely to your threat model, utilizing efficient grey-box analysis for maximum transparency and depth. As a result, you receive an audit-ready final report with a clear risk assessment and actionable remediation recommendations.
