Penetration testing is no longer optional—top leaders and experts agree: security is proven, not promised.
"Cybersecurity is no longer optional—it is existential"— Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft
While compliance frameworks like ISO 27001 provide important baselines, the world's most successful technology leaders understand that real security comes from rigorous, independent testing—not just checking boxes on a compliance form.
"Privacy is a fundamental human right. At Apple, it's also one of our core values. That's why we design our products and services to protect it."— Tim Cook, CEO of Apple
"Trust is not just about compliance—it's about demonstrating through action and transparency that we can protect what matters most."— Arvind Krishna, CEO of IBM
"In identity verification, compliance tells you what you should do. Independent testing tells you what actually works."— Dr. Sarah Ballin, Arbitra Founder
At Arbitra, we've tested over 20 major identity verification providers using real-world attack scenarios. Our findings consistently show a massive gap between compliance scores and actual security performance.
While vendors may pass ISO audits with flying colors, our penetration testing reveals critical vulnerabilities that compliance frameworks simply don't catch. Document fraud, deepfake attacks, and injection vulnerabilities slip through compliance-focused security models every day.
In our latest benchmark study, providers with perfect ISO compliance scores failed 60-75% of our real-world security tests.
