WorkNest Secure perform Web Application and Infrastructure Penetration Testing for Pharmacy2U. They are always professional to engage with, provide an excellent level of service, and the addition of GuardNest makes receiving and interrogating the results of the service very easy indeed.
We look forward to working with them in the future and trust the work they deliver.
Pharmacy2U
Founder
WorkNest Secure stand out in the field of penetration testing due to the skillset of people they have working there. We undertook a complex bespoke pentest with them, which required a lot of pre-work in order to make sure it was scoped correctly, and they took the time to come onsite to make sure all was correct prior to commencing.
From my experience with them, they are very intelligent people with a deep understanding of the security landscape, and we will continue to use them for future testing requirements.
