Penetration testing essential for establishing security level and meeting compliance needs
/EINPresswire.com/ In an era of increased cyber crime, the growing attacks on networks and applications are becoming ever more sophisticated. Therefore, the number of organisations which are being hacked is growing exponentially. At the same time the penalties incurred by organisations for failing to protect themselves and their customer's data are becoming ever steeper.
Effective pen testing is a sensible way for companies to establish if their networks and applications are truly secure. Routine penetration testing is also an essential component in any ISO27001 ISMS - from initial development through to ongoing maintenance and continual improvement. It can also help organisations meet the requirements of the PCI DSS standard and comply with the Data protection Act (DPA).
Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance, says, "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, organisations need to conduct external penetration tests at least annually."
IT Governance Ltd, the global leader in ISO 27001 and information security products and services, offers fixed-price penetration testing packages which are are designed to simplify security testing. Organisations can save £1000 if they buy a Penetration Testing Standard Package (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/3184) or a Web Application Testing Package (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/3185) before the end of February.
Calder explains, "We have reduced the price of our penetration testing packages in order to encourage more organisations to test their systems. We would like them to understand how vital pen testing is for the protection of their information."
Both the Penetration Testing Standard Package (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/3184) and the Web Application Testing Package (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/3185) include a comprehensive report indentifying vulnerabilities and recommended remedial activity. They are suitable for small companies with up to 20 externally facing IP addresses and up to four internal services running in a single organisation. One of the biggest benefits to organisations is that they can agree the scope of testing delivered for known and fixed benefits. The packages are available for a limited time only at the special price of just £1,950 each.
