Insider threat testing evaluates whether your security controls can detect and prevent malicious actions by authorised users — employees, contractors, or partners with legitimate access. Testing covers: privilege escalation (can a standard user gain administrative access?), data exfiltration by authorised users (can an employee extract large volumes of data without detection?), access control granularity (do users have more access than their role requires?), audit logging (are user actions logged and monitored?), and separation of duties (can a single user perform critical actions without oversight?). Internal penetration testing naturally evaluates many insider threat scenarios.
