Secure your applications and meet FCA/PRA compliance with our CREST-accredited pentesting and CBEST simulation services, delivered at scale.
From large-scale testing programmes to CI/CD-integrated continuous assurance, we are the trusted partner for international banks.
Gold-standard Pentesting programmes for Banking
We provide gold-standard sophisticated pentesting programmes covering dozens of critical banking applications. Our service is built for scale, with dedicated co-ordinators ensuring seamless scoping and handover. We deliver over 10,000 days of penetration testing annually and have perfected a "pentest-as-a-service" model that provides the efficiency, quality, and regulatory assurance that international banks require.
Continuous Security Testing for devsecops for Banking
Our Continuous Security Testing (CST) service is designed to test applications as they are developed. By linking directly into your CI/CD pipelines, we provide continuous assurance to you and your customers that your banking applications are continuously assessed for vulnerabilities. Our dedicated CST teams support international banks at scale, embedding security into your DevSecOps lifecycle and enabling you to innovate safely and at speed. This product reduces the mean time to fix compared to a typical penetration test.
Penetration Testing Faqs for Banking
-
Banking pentesting goes beyond standard testing. It requires a deep understanding of financial regulations (FCA, PRA) and frameworks like CBEST. Tests are focused on high-risk areas like payment gateways, customer data, API security, and mobile banking apps, simulating attacks that are specific to the financial services industry.
-
CST integrates directly with your development tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab, Azure DevOps). Our platform can be triggered to run automated and manual security checks on new code before it's deployed. This "shift-left" DevSecOps approach finds vulnerabilities earlier, reducing remediation costs and providing continuous assurance rather than point-in-time snapshots.
-
Yes. Our penetration testing services are CREST-accredited, ensuring all methodologies, reports, and tester qualifications meet the highest global standards. This accreditation is often a key requirement for satisfying regulatory audits and proving due diligence to the FCA and PRA.
-
We deliver this at scale through our "pentest-as-a-service" model. This includes a dedicated team of service co-ordinators, a mature and seamless scoping process, and a large pool of certified testers. This allows us to act as a flexible extension of your team, scheduling tests on demand and delivering consistent, high-quality reports for dozens of applications simultaneously.
-
Absolutely. We have a dedicated team specializing in mobile application pentesting (iOS and Android). We test for common vulnerabilities (OWASP Mobile Top 10) as well as banking-specific flaws, such as insecure data storage, improper certificate pinning, and vulnerabilities in the APIs that power the app.
