Context

Ahead of the European Political Community Summit 2023, event-facing digital infrastructure — public platforms, communication channels and supporting services — required independent validation of security posture before participating delegations relied on them. Compressed preparation timelines left no margin for protracted discovery; assurance had to deliver evidence-based findings and prioritised remediation under rules of engagement suitable for a nationally significant international event.

Outcome

Independent penetration testing and security assessment delivered across the summit's digital infrastructure — applications, exposed services and communication paths tested under agreed scope and authorisation.

Vulnerabilities identified and risk-ranked with reproducible evidence — enabling organisers to separate immediate containment from scheduled remediation.

Resilience of critical platforms validated against adversarial scenarios relevant to high-visibility international events.

Findings integrated into pre-event hardening — digital platforms and communication channels defensible before summit proceedings commenced.

Event integrity and availability assured — documented confidence that infrastructure supporting the summit could withstand targeted disruption during the event window.

Frameworks referenced in this engagement:
  • ISO/IEC 27001
