Hosting & maintenance

  • Uptime monitored

Example status strip, 30 days

05

Security testing

Scheduled vulnerability scanning and manual penetration tests of your networks, apps and cloud, with findings ranked by real risk.

  • HighTLS 1.0 still accepted on the mail server
  • MediumAdmin login reachable from the internet
  • LowMissing security headers on two sites

Example findings from a scheduled scan

06

Integrations

CRM, accounting, e-commerce and internal systems connected, so data is entered once and stays in step.

Two kinds of clients. One standard of work.

Work, described by its stack.

Client names stay private. The industry, the scope and the technology do not.

Production moves from OpenShift 3, past its end of life, to OpenShift 4 at the primary site. A second cluster at the DR site receives continuous replication. Afterwards the platform is run 24x7 across production, DR and non-production.
