NEN 7510 is the Dutch standard for information security in healthcare. A NEN 7510 pentest shows whether your technical controls actually stand up under real attack conditions. We test your systems, identify exploitable weaknesses, and deliver a clear report for remediation and audit preparation.
A NEN 7510 pentest is a penetration test for healthcare environments that process patient data or support care delivery. It checks whether the technical controls around applications, APIs, infrastructure, authentication, and network access hold up in practice, not just in policy documents.
The current NEN 7510 standard consists of NEN 7510-1:2024, the management system requirements, and NEN 7510-2:2024, the controls and implementation guidance. A pentest helps you verify whether those controls work against real attack scenarios, so you can reduce risk, protect health data, and show evidence of testing during internal or external audits.
CCV Standard Compliance: Our penetration testing rigorously aligns with the CCV's stringent requirements for comprehensive security evaluations.
Norm-Conforming Documentation: Each test is meticulously documented, adhering to CCV norms for transparency and precision.
Guaranteed Quality Testing: Clients are assured of receiving top-tier penetration testing services, validated by our adherence to CCV standards.
Expert Team with OSCP Certification: Every security specialist on our team holds an OSCP certification, ensuring depth and expertise in our testing processes.
We test from inside your environment, focusing on what an attacker with internal access, a compromised workstation, or stolen user credentials could reach. This covers internal applications, APIs, network trust relationships, and systems that store or process patient data.
Internal testing is one of the best ways to verify whether access restrictions, segmentation, and privilege boundaries hold up in practice. It shows what happens after the perimeter is gone, which is often where the most serious healthcare risks appear.
Tests vulnerabilities accessible to internal users, privileged accounts, and compromised credentials
Usually gives broader coverage because more trust assumptions can be validated directly
Helps support recurring assurance work as part of ongoing security and compliance efforts
Identifies risks that external-only testing will not uncover, including lateral movement paths
We test from outside your network, targeting the systems an internet-based attacker can actually reach. This includes patient portals, APIs, remote access services, cloud-hosted applications, and other public-facing assets connected to healthcare workflows.
External testing is often the starting point for a NEN 7510 pentest because it covers the attack surface most exposed to opportunistic and targeted attacks. It helps you understand what outsiders can see, exploit, or chain together before they ever gain internal access.
Tests vulnerabilities accessible to an unauthenticated or low-privileged external attacker
Straightforward to scope around internet-facing systems and clear technical boundaries
Typically performed before audits, after major releases, or after infrastructure changes
Validates the security of the entry points most likely to be targeted first
Our experts will help you!
Our NEN 7510 pentest follows a risk-based process grounded in PTES and adapted to healthcare environments. The goal is simple: identify what can actually be exploited, explain why it matters, and give you evidence your team can use straight away.
Collecting system details, scoping targets, and mapping the applications, infrastructure, identities, and data flows that matter most for patient data protection.
Identifying realistic attack paths based on your exposed services, user roles, supplier integrations, and the systems that support care delivery.
Testing your environment for weaknesses in authentication, authorization, application logic, APIs, cloud settings, encryption, and network trust boundaries.
Safely validating confirmed weaknesses to determine real impact, so findings are based on evidence rather than scanner output alone.
Producing a clear report with findings, severity, affected assets, proof of issue, remediation advice, and mapping to the relevant NEN 7510 control areas.
Re-testing remediated findings to confirm the fixes work and the remaining risk is understood before final sign-off.
