Vision33 engaged SES and their partner PGI regarding Cyber Security Testing for one initial requirement, which swiftly moved onto more. Our team were very satisfied with the Penetration Testing provided, the quality of the results and the final report. We would happily recommend SES and PGI services and will be engaging with them on future requirements as the needs arise.

PGI came highly recommended to us when we needed to undertake a penetration test on our web application. The resulting report was of an exemplary standard—with easy to understand information, as well as further in-depth reading recommendations—and it has raised the profile of security within the organisation.

PGI were a client of ours, so when we needed to achieve the Cyber Essentials certification, we engaged them to assist. The service provided was quick and straightforward and we now have in place a cyber security framework to keep our client data safe.

PGI helped us achieve our Cyber Essentials certification. The staff were very helpful throughout the process and the questionnaire was easy to use. What we thought put PGI above other providers is the guidance included in the (already competitive) price.

As an IT Company it's good to show our client base that we are serious about cyber security. PGI staff were extremely polite and supportive, answering all the questions we had. Even though the time between initial enquiry and actually starting the project was a bit slow on our end, we were met with patience and understanding.

PGI helped us achieve GDPR compliance and the Cyber Essentials certification, which means we can now do business with our Local Authorities. PGI’s team was friendly, professional and supportive throughout the process.

We chose PGI because they are known for their quality of service. Our initial enquiry via email was responded to in a professional, prompt and courteous manner, and the onsite Cyber Essentials Plus Assessor was knowledgeable, fitted into our office environment without hindrance and was very thorough. We now have every confidence in our IT policy and the security of our data and practices.

PGI’s business development and specialist teams took the time to understand Valtex, enabling them to provide specific support for our specific challenge and requirements where other consultancies had failed to. We also appreciated the quality of the information provided and the straightforward communication that ensured we understood what was happening at every stage.

We engaged PGI to conduct a range of penetration tests, including Web Application and External and Internal infrastructure, and to help us achieve the Cyber Essentials Plus certification. It was a very successful engagement and we hope to work with PGI again in the future as the team was very easy to communicate and work with. They were able to accommodate our very specific requirements and worked closely with us to find the right solutions to not only secure us further, but also minimise the impact on our team.
