Before we begin
Questions worth asking.
About cybersecurity.
What do you need before reviewing our application’s security?
We need written authorisation, a defined target and scope, safe testing conditions, and contacts for escalation. The agreed boundaries protect your users, data and daily operations.
Does a security review certify our business as compliant?
No. A scoped review provides findings and verification evidence for the agreed application or system. Certification and regulatory obligations require their own qualified assessment.
