Cyber security for Madrid companies
Madrid is home to many of Spain's banks, telecoms, energy companies and retailers, and to suppliers of the public sector. Public bodies expect their suppliers to meet Spain's National Security Framework (ENS), and NIS2 widens security duties for many sectors.

Automated scan, penetration test or audit?
Three different things that are often confused. We run penetration tests and help you prepare for audits; we are not an auditor.
| Automated scan | Penetration test | Audit or certification | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | A tool checks for known weaknesses | Security testers try to break in, manually and with tools | An independent auditor checks your controls against a standard |
| What it finds | Known issues and missing patches | Real, exploitable weaknesses, including logic and access flaws | Gaps in policies, processes and evidence |
| What you get | An automated list, often with false positives | A report with proof, CVSS severity and fixes, plus a free retest | An audit report or certificate |
| Who does it | Your team or any provider | Testers you authorise in writing, such as UnFoldMart | Accredited auditors only (not UnFoldMart) |
| Best for | Frequent checks between tests | Before launches, big contracts and audits, and at least once a year | Proving compliance, e.g. SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO/IEC 27001 |
From finding to fixed
Every finding comes with steps to reproduce and a fix. The retest is free.

How to choose a penetration testing company in Madrid
Six checks before you sign, whoever you hire.
Written authorisation and scope
Testing should start only after the system owner signs the scope, window and rules.
UnFoldMart: Signed scope and window before any test.
Manual testing, not just a scan
Ask how much of the work is manual and which methods they follow.
UnFoldMart: Manual testing aligned to OWASP ASVS and OWASP MAS.
A report your developers can use
Findings with proof, severity and fix steps.
UnFoldMart: CVSS severity, steps to reproduce and fixes, explained on a call.
A retest after fixes
Is a retest included, and do you get written confirmation?
UnFoldMart: Free retest and a retest letter.
Honest about compliance
A tester is not an auditor. Be wary of anyone promising a certificate.
UnFoldMart: Readiness support for SOC 2 and PCI DSS; we never certify.
Careful with your data
How test data, credentials and the report are handled.
UnFoldMart: Only the data the scope needs.
Black box, grey box or white box?
| Grey box | Black box | White box | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Access for testers | Test accounts and some documentation | No inside knowledge | Full access to code and design |
| Simulates | A user or partner with an account | An outside attacker | A deep review with insider knowledge |
| Coverage | Good balance; the usual choice | Lower; time goes into discovery | Highest |
| Best for | Most web apps and APIs | Checking what is exposed to the internet | Critical systems and code-level review |

Spanish and EU rules for security
This is general information, not legal advice. Your legal adviser has the final word.
National Security Framework (ENS)
Royal Decree 311/2022 sets Spain's National Security Framework for the public sector. It also applies to private companies that provide services or solutions to public bodies. Conformity is certified by accredited bodies; we help you prepare.
Official source: Real Decreto 311/2022 (boe.es) ↗NIS2
Sets cyber risk-management and incident-reporting duties for medium and large organisations in many sectors. Spain applies it through national law, so check the current rules.
Official source: Directive (EU) 2022/2555 (EUR-Lex) ↗AEPD and data breaches
A personal data breach that is likely to put people at risk must be reported to the AEPD within 72 hours.

Frequently asked questions
Cyber security in Madrid: before you book a call.
Do you have an office in Madrid?
Yes. UnFoldMart's Madrid office is at P.º de la Castellana, 259C, Planta 19, Fuencarral-El Pardo, 28046 Madrid. Meetings with Madrid clients are by video, in English.
How much does a penetration test cost in Madrid?
We don't publish prices. Cost depends on the systems in scope, testing depth, how much manual testing is needed, the compliance evidence you need and your deadline. After a short brief or a free 30-minute call, you get a written scope and a tailored quote.
How long does a penetration test take?
Typically: scope and sign-off about a week, testing 1 to 4 weeks depending on scope, and the report within a week after testing, explained on a call. The free retest runs when your fixes are ready. These are ranges, not guarantees.
Black box, grey box or white box?
Black box: no inside knowledge, like an outsider. Grey box: test accounts and some documentation, the usual choice. White box: full access to code and design, for the deepest review.
Can you get us SOC 2, PCI DSS or ISO 27001 certified?
No. We are not an auditor or certification body. We offer readiness support: a gap review, help putting controls and evidence in place, and help answering customer security questionnaires.
Is a retest included?
Yes. After you fix the findings, we retest them for free and give you a retest letter that shows what is closed.
Do you need written permission before testing?
Yes, always. Testing starts only after the owner of the systems signs the scope, the testing window and the rules. If a system is hosted or run by someone else, their rules apply too.
Do we need ENS to sell to the Spanish public sector?
Public bodies usually ask suppliers whose systems handle their services to show ENS conformity. Certification comes from accredited certification bodies. We can test your systems and help you prepare, but we don't certify.
Does NIS2 apply to our company in Spain?
It depends on your sector and size. NIS2 is applied through Spanish national law, so check the current rules or ask your legal adviser. We can test your systems and help you prepare the evidence it asks for.
Who works on our project, and how do we communicate?
Projects are led by UnFoldMart from our international offices, with a small dedicated team. Calls are by video. Calls and reports are in English, and critical issues are flagged at once.
