Perspective Risk excels at penetration testing for MoneySuperMarket.com

Penetration tests on complex online system MoneySuperMarket.com employs Perspective Risk to conduct regular penetration tests on its online systems to ensure that its digital platform is secure. Recently, Perspective Risk conducted penetration tests as part of a due diligence exercise when MoneySuperMarket.com was acquiring a partner business. 

Pete Hanlon, Chief Technology Officer at MoneySuperMarket.com explains: ‘‘Ensuring our digital systems are secure is the number one priority for us. Our systems are constantly evolving and as such we continually test to ensure our systems are robust and secure. In addition when working with or acquiring partners, we need to ensure that they adhere to the same level of rigour.”

Hanlon continues: ‘‘Perspective Risk stand out in the field of penetration testing because they understand the importance of security risks and are able to map it to the domain in which their client is operating. Their service is very much tailored to the particular application being examined.
