Does your organisation test systems every time they enter production?

With companies frequently implementing new systems to share information with clients, business partners, suppliers and employees, security is quite often seen as an after thought. Security managers are consistently being required to undertake security assessments quickly and on an ad-hoc basis to minimise Internet based threats.

ProCheckUp provides comprehensive infrastructure and application level penetration testing to organisations through a subscription service, quite often reacting with less than two days notice and in some cases instantaneously.

The subscription service allows companies to pre-purchase tests for the year and then call them off on demand. The service ensures a cost effective, flexible approach which minimises unnecessary paperwork and allows companies to budget for penetration testing throughout the year.

For more information on the Subscription Service please call 020 7307 5001.
