A mid-sized financial services company in the UK approached us to assess the security posture of their internal and client-facing applications. With increasing threats and the need for ISO 27001 compliance, the client required a thorough, certified penetration test.
Conducted black-box and grey-box penetration testing
Identified critical vulnerabilities including outdated libraries, XSS flaws, and insecure endpoints
Simulated real-world attack scenarios without service disruption
Delivered a comprehensive risk-based report with technical and executive summaries
Collaborated with the client’s IT team to patch and re-test vulnerabilities
The client resolved all critical and high-risk issues within 10 days, strengthened their infrastructure, and successfully passed a third-party audit. Their cybersecurity insurance premiums were also reduced due to the proactive testing.
