Penetration Tests – How to Maximise Your Investment

Conducting penetration tests is a key security activity in identifying vulnerabilities affecting your IT systems, determining risks to your organisation and providing a prioritised remediation strategy to protect your organisation.  In URM’s experiences, however, many organisations are not maximising their investment in penetration tests and not fully realising the benefits.  In response to this, URM has produced a white paper where we provide practical advice on what your organisation can do in the various phases of a penetration testing project in order to:

  • Improve the effectiveness of your penetration tests
  • Reduce the costs of your testing
  • Identify and remediate a larger number of vulnerabilities.

We provide invaluable and practical advice on:

  • How to decide what to test
  • What testing approach you should adopt
  • What objectives you should set
  • How to go about scoping your test
  • Selecting the most appropriate provider
  • How to best prepare for your pen test
  • What to do during the pen test
  • What you should be requesting from your provider following a pen test.

We used URM as we had a large amount of information to redact for a Court of Protection case and neither had the time nor the knowledge to be able to complete this appropriately. URM were suggested to us and we made contact. They responded very quickly and were able to explain their role, estimated timescales & costings. During the initial consultation, they were very professional and approachable, and certainly had the skills we required. URM’s consultant provided us with details of the work they had completed before & we felt confident to pursue the work with them. We were on a tight deadline for court and URM were confident that they could provide the services we required in a timely manner. The logistics of sending a large amount of confidential documents were easy to navigate and straightforward. We were unable to very accurately gauge how much work was required, however URM’s Team supported us with this and maintained regular contact regarding their progress and addressed any concerns they had. When we needed to contact them, they were prompt with their responses. The work did take longer that envisaged, however that was due to the amount of work that we, as clients, were unable to accurately identify would be required. We did, however, meet the deadline for court. I would certainly use the services of URM again & if possible would work with same team. The services are not cheap, however redacting sensitive information is a skilled task and, therefore, having a professional complete this work is priceless.
