If we have reported an issue to you, we have done so because our business believes it's the right thing to do - we are not trying to pitch for paid work either. All we ask is you formally acknowledge receipt of our report, this means we spend less time reporting issues and more time finding them.

Ethics and the law are ingrained in our company ethos, our principal consultant assists with police to help train officers in the fight against cybercrime. We understand the computer misuse act and would never break the law to identify an error on your systems.
