One of the largest operators of a successful on-line buyers club with annual sales of some £80 million, this customers database approaches nearly 800,000 users and they are presently targeting over 200,000 new customers per year. Operating programmes for such companies as British Airways, Barclaycard, Diners Club and Natwest Bank, they have a vested interest in ensuring the integrity of their network.

Networks Unlimited were contracted to provide an external vulnerability assessment of a number of their widely recognised on-line clubs. Using a variety of commercially available and commonly used hacking tools, an extensive series of tests were performed to highlight any possible vulnerability that could potentially be exploited by an external party.

Reviewed by our team of security consultants, the key results from these tests were clearly presented and summarised by risk and severity with appropriate recommendations.
