We provide auditing and strategic planning to protect online web applications, related network infrastructure and electronic brand assets. Our two core services Ambersail Assured and Brand Assured have been developed to secure client networks and control how businesses are being represented online.

Our industry accredited security audit and monitoring solution - Ambersail Assured - combines a constantly updated vulnerability testing platform with security experts to ensure that clients get the latest threat protection and best advice.

Our vulnerability testing and monitoring platform is located at a highly secure, co-located facility in the North of England. Originally used as a bombproof NATO operations centre, our secure, scalable solution comprehensively audits thousands of networks across the world.

Ambersail's audit methodology follows standards set by the Payment Card Industry, external bodies such as OWASP and internationally recognised frameworks such as ISO 17799.

Complementing Ambersail Assured is a state-of-the-art monitoring system - Brand Assured. This is able to rapidly and comprehensively search the Internet to deliver accurate and targeted information on an organisation's brand. It extends to combatting fraud - detecting fraudulent use of brand names or logos and early detection of "phishing" emails.

Our services are used by a wide range of businesses. These include financial, retail, leisure and government based clients. Examples include Halifax Bank of Scotland, Littlewoods Shop Direct Group and Central UK Government.

Network security and ecommerce fraud are continually evolving. To ensure that we deliver the highest quality services, our staff are selected on their technical and professional ability to work directly in the most demanding of situations. We also spend a great deal of time working with associated groups and our people are actively involved with industry bodies and initiatives such as the PCI (Payment Card Industry) Data Security Standard, Free Software Foundation Europe and UK Government organisations such as CESG, SOCA and NISCC.
