When a business undertakes the development of an application, software product or website, it is crucial to thoroughly test the app, product or site before going live.

How many horror stories have you read in the press about privacy and security breaches across consumer and business applications? It seems these stories are published on a daily basis. Your business certainly doesn’t want (and cannot afford) a negative impact on business, revenue or reputation from a security breach. If you are not sure where you stand when it comes to application security or you are unhappy with your application security services, you should address these critical issues as soon as possible.
Whether your business is global, regional or local, your business strategy must include a security component and comply with relevant standards, including industry standard information security, web application security, data security, security penetration testing, application security standards and interface standards.
