Penetration testing

nutcase · 6 Dec 2013 at 21:29

Hi All

A new client wants us to prove that their data is safe (fair enough!). It's available online through a SSL portal, but they want "Penetration testing" carried out. It's not something we've been asked for before, but we're happy to get it done as we have some high profile clients so we obviously want their data to be safe.

Has anyone used a company to do the testing that can be recommended?

thanks

Thanks both. We definitely want a reputable company. When doing tenders we're seeing increasingly complex requirements and we suspect this will be the first request of several so with luck we can spread the cost over several clients.

Thanks again everyone

The site that will be undergoing the testing has its passwords reset by me - and I've even asked the MD of one of the largest housing associations in the country to prove it lol

First quote has come in at £3k so not too bad (it's only a small site). Just waiting for second quote.

Thanks peeps

Thanks all. Sec-1 are on the shortlist of two at the moment, the other being Contextis.
