Security Testing

Our security testing in the communications sector applies the mentality of a hacker to your organisation across all disciplines. Our technical consultants will show where you have vulnerabilities and how to fix them.

A typical security assessment for a communications provider involves a wide scope of testing. A recent client project saw us reduce the cost of deploying security tools by assessing 250+ config files, 90+ documents, 130+ processes before moving to production.

We were able to assess the environment through ISO 27001 and NIST frameworks, whilst conducting vulnerability management through regular scanning of 1,500+ devices in staging environment.
