Pentest secure contract from US based, global software vendor
In April 2021, it was announced that Pentest Limited had been awarded a three-year contract from a US based, global software vendor worth in excess of $1m over the lifetime of the contract.
The contract was awarded following a robust six-month RFP process which included supplying technical documentation, presentations and interviews, a proof-of-concept test simulation to assess Pentest’s capability, methodologies & approach, as well as a commercial evaluation of Pentest’s operations performed by an independent third party.
Out of 15 companies, Pentest Limited were chosen based on their performance throughout the RFP process, their technical expertise during the test simulation, approach to account management and were identified by the client as providing the desired combination of high capability and high commercial value. The vendor was also suitably impressed with the history of Pentest, the tenure of their staff and the references provided to them from similar sized software organisations that Pentest currently work with. Ultimately, seeing Pentest as a safe pair of hands.
