QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked

Why pick a sector-specialist over a generalist pen tester?

Sector specialists already understand your compliance regime, threat model, and audit requirements. A generalist will find OWASP Top 10 issues; a sector specialist will also find the IDOR in your KYC flow that violates FCA SYSC 6.1.1, or the missing TLS pinning in your patient-data app that fails NHS DTAC.

Do EJN testers have sector experience?

Yes. Every engagement is assigned to a CREST-certified tester with prior delivery experience in your sector. For FCA-regulated firms, that means CRT or CCT-certified testers familiar with FCA SYSC. For NHS engagements, testers familiar with DSPT v6 and the CareCERT framework.

Can EJN test multiple sectors in one engagement?

Yes. Many UK businesses span sectors (fintech-SaaS, legaltech, healthtech). One scoping call defines the scope, the dominant compliance regime drives the methodology, and findings map back to all relevant frameworks.

How fast can a sector engagement start?

From signed scope to active testing in 24 hours where required. Standard pipeline is 3-5 business days from scoping call to test start.

The sectors above are EJN’s most-commissioned. We also serve education, retail, e-commerce, manufacturing, energy, transport, and critical national infrastructure. Get in touch with your sector and compliance regime; we will tell you whether we have direct prior experience.
