Security Validation, NVA vs Pen Test, and What Our Onsite Reviews Reveal | Medcurity Podcast 129
Sat Feb 07 2026
Security testing can sound straightforward until you’re the one trying to prove it actually reflects reality.
In this episode, the Medcurity team breaks down the difference between an NVA and penetration testing, why “we ran a test” isn’t the same as security validation, and the kinds of gaps that keep showing up when teams look at real environments.
We also share a simple way to think about cadence, what “evidence” looks like when auditors ask for it, and why you’ll get better results when you start with the basics before paying for the most advanced test.
