The challenge.
SquareOne Technologies, based in Dubai, developed two portals for a government entity in the utilities sector.
Once development was complete, SquareOne needed a credible third-party security specialist. Its role was to carry out comprehensive penetration testing and make sure the platforms met the required security standards.
What stood out.
SquareOne found the testing platform intuitive, with a clear, structured breakdown of vulnerabilities, risk levels and remediation recommendations.
SquareOne calls the inclusion of unlimited retests one of the standout aspects of the service. It gave SquareOne confidence and flexibility during remediation.
That is how SquareOne describes the EJN Labs team throughout the process.
