"Following the Information Commissioner's recent criticism of a UK school for breaching the DPA, leaving the personal details of some 7,500 pupils at risk, we recognise that schools need straightforward, affordable ways to test the security of their websites and Internet applications," said IT Governance CEO, Alan Calder. "With the ever-increasing risk of external attacks to websites, the continual enhancements and upgrades to a system over time, and the continual discovery of new vulnerabilities and security holes, schools need to conduct external penetration tests at least annually. We also know that school budgets are stretched. We want to help. For the rest of August 2011, we will be offering UK schools a significant discount against our standard web application security test, knocking £1k off the standard price."
"Our fixed-price penetration testing packages are designed to simplify security testing," concluded Alan Calder. "There shouldn't by anything complicated or mysterious about security assurance and that's why we've clearly described our testing activity and made fixed-price packages available that can be purchased almost as easily as a text book!" Website penetration testing packages - which include a full test report and detailed guidance on remediation - are available to UK schools for a limited time only with at the special price of just £1,950 each.
