Government & Defense
Berghem runs penetration testing for public agencies, state bodies, and defense contractors, covering citizen service portals, interoperability APIs, and registry databases. We align with GSI/PR and PNSI guidelines, the E-Ciber strategy (Decreto 10.222/2020), Lei 14.129/2021, and Lei 14.133/2021, delivering evidence that prioritizes remediation without disrupting essential services.
Why government needs specialized security
Public agencies and defense contractors face APT-level threats and continuous reconnaissance. Compliance is multi-layered and national: the PNSI and GSI/PR guidelines, the E-Ciber strategy (Decreto 10.222/2020), Lei 14.129/2021 (Digital Government), and Lei 14.133/2021 set requirements no generic program covers.

Prolonged intrusions targeting classified data and policies.
Supply chain compromise
Pivoting from vendors and contractors into agency networks.
Insider threat and privilege abuse
Credentialed personnel, credential theft, lateral movement.
Election integrity and e-voting
Tabulation integrity, voter roll tampering, end-to-end auditability.
