Interests and Hobbies
Westpoint, based in the centre of Manchester, UK, specialise in the provision of security testing services either direct to end-user or on a "white labelled" basis on behalf of partner technology providers.
Since 1999 we have been supplying class-leading blended vulnerability assessment, penetration testing and, more recently, social media testing services.
Westpoint service hundreds of customers in sectors such as finance, media, telecommunications,
retailing, consumer products, utilities, manufacturing and local government. We have customers
where we test thousands of systems every month down to those where we test a few systems
each year. We test systems all over the globe performing lightweight vulnerability assessment
up to very detailed web application penetration tests.
Customer satisfaction and the quality of service we deliver are paramount to Westpoint.
We believe it is important that, where necessary, we customise our services and processes to exactly suit your business and its needs. We do not expect our clients to have to adapt their working to suit us. We believe the longevity of our customer base shows we've got this right.
Whilst certifications are often a poor measure of quality, we recognise that sometimes they can
be helpful so Westpoint have staff qualified as CREST Certified Testers (equivalent to a CHECK
team leader), CREST Registered Testers, Qualified ASV Employees and Certified Information
Security Managers.
Westpoint staff have discovered vulnerabilities in widely used applications and frameworks (for example every major browser) and given presentations on securityto groups such as OWASP. Westpoint staff are also members of the PCI ASV Task Force that provide feedback on changes to the ASV scanning regulations.
