Carry out penetration testing of applications. For critical applications, authenticated penetration testing uncovers business logic flaws more effectively than automated security testing or scanning of code. Penetration testing depends on the tester's skill in manipulating an application by hand, both as an authenticated user and as an unauthenticated one.

What else in your programme already covers this
This control maps to 36 controls across 19 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
NIST-CSF-ID.IM-02 Improvements are identified from security tests and exercises, including those done in coordination with suppliers and relevant third parties
You are reading one control. How much of CIS Controls v8 have you already done?
CIS Controls v8 CIS-16.13 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of CIS Controls v8 your existing evidence covers. Hold ISO 27001:2022 and 102 of 153 CIS Controls v8 controls already carry evidence.
Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 240 were rejected on the ISO 27001:2022 pair alone.
