The challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Virtual Cabinet has committed to delivering continuous improvement\nand continual security testing as part of its service. The business sectors\nVirtual Cabinet operates in process a great deal of highly sensitive data, so\nensuring absolute security and ongoing responsiveness to emerging cyberthreats\nand vulnerabilities is critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As such, the firm works with third-party penetration testers to\nensure an independent, consultative approach to testing its software and\nportal. The incumbent provider was taking a very scripted approach, whereby\nVirtual Cabinet sought a stronger hacking mentality and an ability to test\nits systems in a more exploratory and creative way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n SureCloud\u2019s CREST accreditation, exemplary testing skills and\nexperience and strong track record were key factors in the decision, as well as\nits hacking mentality and willingness to \u2018test to break\u2019 \u2013 that is, to push\nVirtual Cabinet\u2019s software as far as possible and seek out potential\nvulnerabilities away from a rigid checklist of tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The project began with a scoping call with SureCloud\u2019s testers,\nreviewing the Virtual Cabinet product and developing a truly bespoke approach\nto testing it. From there, SureCloud conducted an array of tests, including\nmobile application testing, web application testing and API security testing,\nall tailored to the precise nuances of Virtual Cabinet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n SureCloud provided Virtual Cabinet access to its vulnerability management solution from the commencement of testing. This immediately enabled live access to test findings, improved internal reporting and more effective remediation strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n These tests sought to identify, analyse and remediate vulnerabilities in Virtual Cabinet\u2019s solution in line with the very latest cybercrime tools and techniques. In doing so, they met the criteria Virtual Cabinet has in place to deliver continual improvement and testing, maintaining its integrity and providing its clients with the core requirement for a secure document management system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe work for businesses in many sectors where the security and\nintegrity of data is paramount,\u201d said Nancy Saunders, Security and Compliance\nOfficer at Virtual Cabinet. \u201cWe promise our clients a proactive and\never-evolving approach to securing our software, so it\u2019s vital that we achieve\nthis.
