Security Testing
Because data security and integrity is so important in the connected internet era. True North has developed a combination of rigorous testing methodologies, proprietary software, commercial virus scanners and trained technical acumen to deliver a dependable security review tailored to specific needs. We focus on ensuring:
- Integrity of outside security is maintained.
- Permissions and behaviors fit within the application’s intended use.
- Passwords and other sensitive information are appropriately encrypted.
- Application behavior does not harm existing data.
- Virus protection using the latest libraries.
- Background user activity tracking only occurs when explicit and appropriate.
Scout
Scout is True North’s proprietary network activity monitoring solution. Scout has a front end interface that our security technicians utilize to intercept network traffic going from or to a device. Both encrypted and unencrypted traffic can be scrutinized to ensure the information being passed is appropriate and secure. Scout was designed to answer whether or not sensitive information is being passed securely and if there is anything being passed to or from the server that is unneeded.
