Editorial reference for offensive security

Independent analysis, guides and comparisons on penetration testing worldwide.

About this blog

pentest.cr is an independent editorial reference on offensive security and penetration testing. It publishes in-depth technical articles on PTaaS, red team operations, compliance-driven testing, and tool comparisons, covering cybersecurity regulations across Latin America and global markets for security professionals and decision-makers.

Our editorial methodology

Every article published on pentest.cr is researched and written following recognized security frameworks including OWASP Testing Guide, PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard), NIST SP 800-115, and MITRE ATT&CK. Our editorial team verifies technical claims against publicly available documentation, CVE databases, and official regulatory sources before publication. We do not publish vendor-supplied content without independent review.

The English track covers global topics: PTaaS platforms, continuous penetration testing models, compliance-driven security programs (PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA), cloud security assessments, and enterprise red team operations. The Spanish track provides country-specific analysis for Latin America — examining local data protection regulations, financial sector cybersecurity requirements, and curated provider comparisons for each LATAM market.
