"We give FortConsult 10 out of 10 for the quality of their work. We felt comfortable in our relationship with them throughout the entire process. The sales representative was right on the button from the start when the task was defined, and at the end of the process the security consultant provided an excellent review of the report that left absolutely no doubt as to our next step. We can therefore recommend working with FortConsult."

The security consultant from FortConsult was particularly competent and had a great deal of knowledge with regard to the PCI area, so the entire process went very smoothly without any wasted time for us. Before we began the project, FortConsult made sure that we had a good overall view of the process, and the documentation following the audit was both professional and easy to understand."

High technical competence
"Our most important requirement with regard to a business partner in the area of security is that they are fully competent in the technical field. That′s why we chose FortConsult, which in all areas has lived up to the highly professional impression they gave at our first meeting. We′ve had a very proficiently performed security test that was adapted to our needs. The results were subsequently carefully reviewed with us so that we were easily able to turn the recommendations in the report into concrete action. We′re very satisfied."

Close - and valuable - collaboration
"We′ve worked with FortConsult for several years and benefited enormously from the fact that they′re good at quickly getting to grips with very technical problems. They′ve helped us with a number of consultancy tasks such as wireless security and defence against virus and worm attack. In every case the consultancy services provided have been extremely useful and, on a personal level, I greatly appreciate working with Ulf Munkedal."

Carefully targeted test reporting without 'noise'

We′ve also set great store by their reporting of the test results, which is focused and straightforward and without 'noise' such as false positives. FortConsult has its focus on the things that are relevant for our company, and this makes our subsequent processing of the reports very efficient. Both myself and the company′s technicians are very satisfied with our working relationship with FortConsult."

The result of the test was presented by a security consultant who was both competent and well versed in the report′s details, so we received good advice as part of the service. We′re also satisfied with the sparring we received from FortConsult when we had to decide which of our systems should be tested and how. Last, but not least, FortConsult is good at managing the process and following up where necessary in a pleasant and structured manner. FortConsult deserves top marks for the job it has done."

They deal with the subject in depth and are very convincing. We look forward to continuing our collaboration."

Shipping Company

 
First with security certification
"We chose FortConsult as our IT security supplier on the basis of their excellent reputation in the industry. In addition, it was a definite advantage that they were the first company in Denmark to be certified to perform security tests and audits on behalf of VISA and MasterCard. We were looking to receive security certification as quickly as possible and expected that the process would run most smoothly with a Danish supplier. Looking back, the collaboration with FortConsult has been a very positive experience. They′ve been very flexible and good at accommodating our needs. Throughout the process, focus has been applied to those aspects that are of the greatest importance. We′re very satisfied to be Denmark′s first business enterprise to obtain security certification from VISA and MasterCard."

Payment Solutions Supplier

 
Successful collaboration
"We′ve made good use of FortConsult′s expertise within IT security on several occasions since the company was founded. On each occasion they′ve delivered an excellent and thorough piece of work that has enabled us to use the results directly. There are many suppliers on the IT security market, but we′ve chosen to use FortConsult because our business relationship functions without problems and we′re very satisfied with their security consultants."

Energy Company

 
Very competent security consultants
"We′ve chosen FortConsult from amongst the numerous providers of IT security services. We began our partnership with expectations of high quality, and our expectations have certainly been met to the full. In the comprehensive security test that was performed, the task was gone into in great depth. FortConsult′s security consultants are incredibly capable and at the same time manage to be pragmatic with regard to how serious the different vulnerabilities actually are. I′m very satisfied with the result and plan to continue to use FortConsult with regard to a number of other tasks."

Transport Company

 
A professional and positive experience
"FortConsult's PCI auditor has been both positive and constructive, has operated at a high technical level and been ably qualified to advise us on technical issues. He was both detail-oriented and efficient, and provided a very professional and thoroughly prepared PCI audit which both VISA and we ourselves were satisfied with. Throughout the entire process we have had the feeling that we were in good hands and we are pleased to have agreed a long 3-year contract with FortConsult. "

IT Service Supplier

 
A professional and accurate process
"At BS/2, our ATMeye.iQ Version 1.1 application part of the .IQ Platform payment application suite has been assessed and validated against PA-DSS version 1.2 Requirements. After the PA-DSS Assessment, FortConsult A/S found this application as PA-DSS 1.2 compliant.
It is always a great pleasure to see how professionals work. Working together with FortConsult was a good experience for our company. The main goals of our projects were accomplished quickly and accurately."

Provider of Software and Hardware Solutions

 
Recommendation of WebInspect
"WebInspect is a really good solution for us - the tool can be integrated into familiar test platforms such as Mercury′s TestDirector, and at the same time it′s so easy to use that the developers and testers who use it don′t need to be security experts. Since obtaining WebInspect, we always test the web security in the applications we develop for our customers right from the development phase. In this way we can correct any security flaws we discover as early as possible in the process. It′s quite simply too expensive to only test security at the end of the process. For example, a fault that costs 1 Danish krone to rectify in the development phase will cost 1000 kroner to remedy when the system is running in the operating environment."

Data and Financial Clearing Solutions Supplier

 
Effective personal presentation
"We use FortConsult as a security advisor and sparring partner in connection with the establishment of new IT solutions. We're very happy with both the process and the results when FortConsult tests our IT systems. FortConsult's reports provide us with a good picture of our level of security, and the more detailed explanation in conjunction with personal presentations has been particularly effective. FortConsult's security consultants are very competent and capable when it comes to elaborating on the test results, including what they mean for our enterprise. Generally speaking, FortConsult keeps its promises and is good at maintaining control of all elements and deadlines in a test process."

Financial Corporation

 
Value-creative and effective collaboration
"FortConsult has carried out a security review of our design, which resulted in instructive discussions and good, useful conclusions. In addition, FortConsult has performed a security test that we′re very satisfied with. The process was positive throughout. FortConsult listened carefully to our wishes and arranged, for example, for the DOS test to be performed during the periods that best suited us. Their competent project manager made sure that we didn′t need to spend time managing the process. All in all, our collaboration has been both value-creative and effective."

IT Service Supplier to the Insurance Industry

 
Detailed timetable
"FortConsult clearly know what they′re about and understand how to use layman′s terms so that it′s possible to understand what they′re talking about. I was quickly convinced that I could confidently sit back and leave the security test to them. It was also an unexpected bonus to receive a written timetable that illustrated what was to happen and when. I′m particularly satisfied with both the result of the test and the documentation in the final report."

Consumer Organisation

 
A perfect process
"FortConsult has performed a total security test, which was concluded with a thorough report that was also easy to understand. We also received good feedback following their examination of our home office set-up. The result of the test was very satisfactory - and we felt that we were treated well throughout the entire process. We′ve therefore chosen to take out an annual subscription for security tests at FortConsult."

Contracting Company

 
Easy PCI process
"We chose FortConsult to carry out a PCI audit and scan of our IT systems because they made a convincing presentation of their PCI expertise and they had a good reference from PBS. The cooperation itself worked out to our full satisfaction right from the beginning. It seems that FortConsult has a very good relationship with VISA which makes the process a lot easier. FortConsults security consultants are respectful, quick to response and provide a clear communication. And they immediately understood our IT system environment which also made the process much easier."

Online Payment Solutions Supplier

 
Valuable sparring
"We′ve benefited greatly from our regular sparring meetings with FortConsult. It′s healthy to have their external assessment of our initiatives in the security area, so we can stay on the right track. FortConsult has a great deal of know-how with regard to security and can go into greater depth on subjects we wish to know more about. At the same time, they contribute with news from "the world at large". It′s a really good way for us to keep our security knowledge up to date."

Pharmaceutical Wholesaler

 
Clear and precise feedback
"FortConsult has carried out a review of our design proposal for safeguarding remote connections. We′re very satisfied with their response concerning what could be improved - the report was no-nonsense and precise. The security consultants quickly gained an understanding of our situation and were both highly capable and pleasant to work with. We intend to use FortConsult for more tasks in the future."

Energy Company

 
Professional PCI security review
"We chose FortConsult to carry out a security audit in accordance with the PCI standard because they′d been highly recommended. These recommendations also proved to hold good - FortConsult were very capable and knowledgeable within the relatively new PCI field. We′re very satisfied with the result, and the same goes for VISA. The report was comprehensive, and FortConsult′s personnel were extremely competent and good at managing the process."

Payment Solutions Supplier

 
Got more than expected
"I've been positively surprised with regard to our collaboration with FortConsult. They undertook a major part of the project management in connection with a security test that was performed. This meant that the process ran smoothly and that the amount of time that I had to spend on the project was kept to a minimum. In addition, the report that we received at the end of the process was well structured and the content adequately explained. Most importantly, however, I'm very satisfied with the result of the test - and here my expectations and faith in FortConsult and their test methodologies have been very high."

Consultative Engineering Company

 
Competent and flexible
"FortConsult has delivered a very good technical security report on the basis of our security test. The presentation of the report was aimed at both technicians and management and has provided good insight into our IT security. Top marks to the security consultant - he was very committed and was able to give a professional presentation of the test results and recommendations. We are very impressed. Furthermore, we have greatly appreciated the flexibility exhibited by FortConsult in terms of planning the test."

Danish Region

 
Good transparency
"We′ve used FortConsult as a security consultant on a number of different tasks including security policy, a security test, a review of our network design and an examination of our physical security. We′re very satisfied with both the results and the process - and the final reports were both easy to understand and very thorough. There′s generally a good match between what FortConsult provides and what it claims to offer. We chose to work with FortConsult on the basis of their excellent reputation in the industry, and we′ve certainly not been disappointed."

Insurance Industry Software Developer

 
Competence and consideration
"It′s impossible not to appreciate FortConsult′s competent and considerate approach to all aspects of the task that they′re carrying out for us. We′ve often found with other security bureaus that the levels of competence of their consultants have been significantly inferior to our own, and for the first time we′ve felt confident enough to let a security bureau get its hands on our systems - due to both FortConsult′s very high level of competence and the respect and care they exhibit towards us and our systems.

FortConsult quickly understands even our most complex systems, communicates clearly and precisely, and carefully considers any changes in order to ensure that our normal operations aren′t disturbed.

Competence and consideration - allowing one to sleep a little better at night."

IT Service Company

 
9.5 for a good process and a high level of professionalism
"Throughout our entire collaboration with FortConsult we have had the feeling that we were in safe hands - we have received good feedback and good information about subsequent steps. FortConsult has had full control of the process and exhibited great flexibility in adapting the time of delivery to meet our needs. We are also fully satisfied with the security report, which is well framed and with a very high level of technical content. We are extremely positive and therefore happy to award FortConsult a score of 9.5 on a scale of 1-10, where 10 is highest."

International Electronic Signature Company

 
Professional follow-up
"The fact that FortConsult called and followed up to hear whether we were satisfied with the security test that they′d performed for us simply underlined my impression of what it′s like working with them. They are service-minded, flexible and really good at coordination and follow-up. Our test was carried out in a very short space of time, because this was what we required, and we′re very happy with the result. FortConsult hit the mark with their reports and were good at answering our barrage of questions when they presented the reports and during the various stages of the process."

School Software Supplier

 
Chose StayAlert as a source of information
"We needed a reliable external source of information for new security threats and, after screening the market for early warning systems, decided that StayAlert was best able to satisfy our needs. It was easy to have the system implemented - FortConsult provided both a technical and service-minded review supplemented with self-explanatory documentation material. All in all a very positive experience."

Telco

 
Serious, independent sparring partner
"It's very valuable for the company's IT department to use FortConsult as an independent sparring partner. We've enjoyed a close working relationship within IT security almost since the day that FortConsult was founded, and, among other things, they've been of great help during the development of a new firewall complex in connection with a demerger. In addition to regular sparring, FortConsult has carried out actual projects such as security tests and helped to draw up a new IT security policy. They do a good job every time and aren't afraid to call on external partners if they feel that they don't have sufficient competence in a grey area. Their levels of competence and service are very high."

Insurance Company

 
Excellent PCI Cooperation
"FortConsult has conducted a PCI audit and scan of our website on behalf of VISA and MasterCard. The process went smoothly starting with an initial workshop meeting which gave us a clear direction of what to do. We were pleased with the final report - and so was VISA - which is equally important. We enjoyed working with a very competent security consultant from FortConsult and would recommend the service we got to anybody."

International Payment Solutions Supplier

 
Satisfactory PCI collaboration
"We chose FortConsult to conduct PCI audits and scans because they′d been certified by VISA and MasterCard and also appeared to be very competent. Our experience of this collaboration has been very positive - the sales representative was well prepared and very informative, whilst the security consultant proved to be a good sparring partner. In addition, FortConsult had a good sense of reality with regard to finding solutions that covered our needs without overshooting the mark. We look forward to continuing to use FortConsult as our PCI business partner."
