Continuous penetration testing for companies in Mexico

Offensive security for the Mexican ecosystem

Mexico's financial sector is one of the most dynamic in Latin America — and one of the most targeted. Institutions supervised by the CNBV and companies handling personal data under the LFPDPPP are expected to test their systems continuously, not once a year. Strike delivers continuous, expert-validated penetration testing with the audit-ready evidence Mexican auditors and regulators expect.

CNBV expectations: institutions supervised by the Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores are expected to run regular penetration testing and vulnerability management as part of their information-security obligations. Strike provides continuous testing and audit-ready evidence to support them.

LFPDPPP (data protection): the Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares requires security measures to protect personal data. Continuous pentesting helps demonstrate that controls over personal data actually work.

Payments, Banxico and SPEI: companies processing card payments or connected to Banxico's SPEI must meet strict security requirements. Strike focuses on the API, authentication and payment-flow flaws that matter most, validated by expert hackers.

1 — Discovery: map your web, mobile, API and cloud attack surface, including the payment and integration endpoints attackers target.

2 — Continuous AI-led testing: test continuously as you ship new features and integrations, not once a year.

3 — Expert validation: elite Strikers exploit and confirm real findings at 97% accuracy and under 3% false positives.

4 — Evidence and retest: compliance-ready reports plus on-demand retesting for audits and releases.

Pentesting in Mexico, answered

What is pentesting, and what is it for?

A pentest (penetration test) is a controlled simulation of a real attack that finds and proves exploitable vulnerabilities before criminals do, across web, mobile, APIs and cloud. Companies use it to fix real risk and to show auditors and regulators that security controls actually work.

How much does a pentest cost in Mexico?

Strike works as a continuous subscription scoped to your attack surface rather than a one-off fixed-price project, so cost depends on scope and assets. That gives you continuous coverage and on-demand retesting instead of a single annual report. Contact us for a scoped quote.

Do the CNBV or the Fintech Law require penetration testing?

Institutions supervised by the CNBV are expected to run regular penetration testing and vulnerability management as part of their information-security obligations, and companies under the Fintech Law (ITF) must meet security requirements too. Strike provides continuous testing and audit-ready evidence to support them; it does not issue certifications.

Do you serve companies in Mexico?

Yes. Strike works with banks, fintechs and enterprises in Mexico and across Latin America, with Spanish-speaking support and published customer stories on our success cases page.

What is the difference between pentesting and a vulnerability scan?

A scanner lists potential issues automatically and generates noise; a pentest exploits and validates real vulnerabilities, including business-logic and chained attacks a scanner misses. Strike combines automated coverage with expert human validation, keeping false positives under 3%.

How do I start, and how soon do I see results?

Onboarding is quick: connect your scope and testing begins in days, with validated critical findings arriving in hours to days once testing runs. From there you get a continuous flow of findings, on-demand retesting and audit-ready evidence in one platform.
