Pentest Limited secures new contract win with a global technology business

Shearwater Group plc, the organisational resilience group that provides cybersecurity advisory and managed security services, announces that its group company, Pentest Limited, has secured a significant new contract with a global technology business worth GBP300,000. The majority of the contract's value is expected to be realised in the current full year and the contract contributes to the Group's current full year expectations.

Under the terms of this contract, Pentest will deliver a range of vulnerability assessment and penetration testing services to the business, in relation to a major new project. Pentest will perform an in-depth investigation into the organisation's resilience, with the continued aim of uncovering any IT security vulnerabilities by simulating the actions of a threat actor.

"Successfully securing such a contract win with a global technology organisation highlights the recognition of both Pentest and the wider Group, as well as the quality and appeal of our offering. We take great pride in being awarded opportunities of this nature, allowing the group to positively contribute towards evaluating and improving an organisation's security and resilience."
