Security Testing

Regular testing of your network infrastructure and applications is a critical activity for ongoing assurance that your network remains safe, and that your investment in perimeter controls is yielding the expected return.

commissum provides a comprehensive range of internal and external network and application testing services, as well as cost-effective vulnerability assessments in between these detailed tests.

Security & Penetration Testing

Best practice and conventional wisdom still specifies a penetration test every year, or after major changes. However, with today's vastly magnified threat scenario, with ever-greater focus on data loss, ID theft, and fraud, this is generally considered insufficient; despite the current economic climate, an annual penetration test must be the absolute minimum. To understand why this is so, consider that every year approximately 8,000 vulnerabilities are discovered in commercial software.

While most of these large number of vulnerabilities will probably not affect your organisation’s infrastructure, even if only one percent impact your environment, your organisation could be exposed to a significant risk (statistically twenty per quarter, or almost seven per month on average). Can you afford to wait up to a year to check for this eventuality?

Network & application testing services

As a CREST company, commissum’s methodology applies common and consistent methods that build on industry standards, including the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM), the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) and the Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers (CREST).

Our services, accredited under the CREST scheme, provide you with a high level of assurance of the quality, expertise and professionalism of the penetration and security testing services that we provide.
