We cooperated with BetterQA to carry out security testing of one of our customer-facing financial application. The security testing was an essential step for us to get ready for the planned security audit that was to confirm our compliance with the industry regulations and security standards of sensitive data protection. We have an in-house IT team, however, we don’t have dedicated testing specialists, that’s why we decided to address our needs to a professional provider.
We involved 3 testing engineers in the project: 2 specialists were responsible for the overall security assessment and vulnerability discovery, while a dedicated expert took up the penetration testing activities. The team came up with the detailed testing reports that enumerated the revealed issues, their severity, as well as recommendations on how to fix them. The team collaborated with our internal developers to give accurate explanations about each issue and further activities needed to align the app with the current standards.
