Penetration Testing is a key part of the security review process.
The smallest weakness in any organisation's security measures
could have an immediate impact and long-term consequences.
Any successful physical attack can cause irreversible damage to a
company’s reputation, not to mention financial damage.
Penetration testing is essential when delivering a full security
review of any organisation.
