Description

Penetration (or PEN) testing forms an integral part of the Group's Information Security Management System (ISMS) and is a key informative and mitigation mechanism for Group Risk Management. A well established and comprehensive PEN Testing schedule can help identify weaknesses in technology, people and processes, inform Business risk decisions on additional security controls, drive risk reduction and help educate internal security staff, ICT personnel and general Group staff on the threats that can be identified, and vulnerabilities exploited to pose a significate risk to Group data and systems. Citizen is therefore going out to the market for a suitable Service Provider with appropriate capabilities and capacity to deliver excellent penetration testing on a good value for money basis.
