Penetration Testing for Lichfield Teams

West Midlands

Lichfield sits where the A38, the M6 Toll and the wider Midlands distribution network meet, and much of its business activity follows that geography. Warehousing and freight operators run sites on the edge of the city, while solicitors, accountants and recruitment firms serve clients across Staffordshire and Birmingham. The software around them is practical: shipment tracking, client portals, timesheet systems and booking tools that hold real customer data.

The pressure to test usually comes from the customer side. A national retailer onboarding a carrier, or a corporate client signing up with a law firm, will send a security questionnaire that asks for a recent independent penetration test. CyberFortify tests remotely, so Lichfield teams get CREST evidence without paying for travel or day rates.

What Lichfield Teams Bring Us to Test

Freight and fleet platforms

Carriers and 3PLs around Lichfield expose tracking portals and APIs to shippers, drivers and end customers. Each audience sees different data, and large shippers want proof that one customer cannot read another's consignments before they connect their systems.

What we focus onTenant isolation between shipper accounts, IDOR on consignment and proof-of-delivery records, driver app API authentication, webhook signing, and rate limiting on public tracking lookups that can leak addresses.

Professional services client portals

Law and accountancy firms serving Staffordshire clients increasingly share documents, invoices and case updates through web portals. A breach exposes privileged or financial material, and corporate clients now ask about portal security during panel reviews.

What we focus onDocument access controls, shared-link expiry, matter-level permissions, file upload handling, session management on long-lived logins, and whether staff roles can be abused to reach files outside a matter.

Recruitment and workforce software

Recruitment agencies and staffing firms across the Lichfield and Tamworth area rely on candidate portals and timesheet apps. They hold CVs, right-to-work documents and bank details, which makes them attractive to attackers and a UK GDPR liability.

What we focus onAccess to identity documents, candidate-to-candidate data exposure, timesheet approval logic, payroll export endpoints, CSV injection in reports, and privilege escalation from client manager to agency admin.

What We Often Find

On logistics and services platforms like those around Lichfield, the problems we find tend to sit in access control rather than exotic exploits.

Predictable consignment lookups

Public tracking pages that accept sequential or guessable references let anyone enumerate deliveries, revealing names, addresses and delivery windows. For a carrier serving retail clients, that is both a privacy breach and a theft risk.

Cross-tenant API access

A shipper's API key that works against another shipper's data because the backend checks the key, not the account it belongs to. Integration partners often find this by accident, which is the worst way to learn about it.

Unexpiring document share links

Client portals that generate download links with no expiry or access check. Links forwarded by email stay live for years, so a privileged letter or a set of accounts can be opened by anyone who finds it.

Over-broad client manager roles

In recruitment and timesheet systems, a client-side approver can often call admin endpoints directly. We regularly see rate changes, candidate exports or user creation open to roles that should only approve hours.

What Lichfield Buyers Ask For

ISO 27001:2022 control 8.29

Security testing in development and acceptance is an Annex A control. A CREST report with retest evidence gives your auditor a clear record that the web application was tested and the findings were closed.

Retailer and 3PL security questionnaires

Large shippers ask carriers and warehouse operators for recent penetration test evidence before granting API access. A dated report with a findings summary answers that section quickly and honestly.

Law firm supplier due diligence

SRA-regulated firms must manage the risks of outsourced services. If you sell software to solicitors, an independent pentest report helps their compliance team sign you off during supplier review.

Before you book.

We integrate with several carriers' APIs. Do you test those too?

We test your application and the API you expose. Third-party carrier APIs belong to someone else, so we do not attack them without their written permission. We do check how your platform stores their credentials, handles their webhooks and treats data coming back from them, since that is where integration bugs usually sit.

Our law firm clients want to know the portal has been tested. Is the report suitable to share?

Yes. You receive a full technical report and an executive summary. Most teams share the summary with clients and keep the technical detail for their own developers. Once the retest confirms fixes, the report reflects the closed status, which is what a client compliance team wants to see.

Can you test a recruitment platform without touching real candidate data?

We prefer it. Ask for a staging environment seeded with dummy candidates, or set up test accounts in production that only see test records. We need at least two accounts per role so we can check whether one candidate or client can reach another's documents, timesheets or bank details.

Do you have an office in Lichfield?

No. CyberFortify has no Lichfield office. Web application and API tests run remotely, which is how almost all application pentests are delivered. Kick-off, critical alerts and the report walkthrough happen in UK working hours, and the price is the same £2,400 flat.

Why is it cheaper than UK day-rate firms?

Our AI Pentest Agent covers the breadth of your app: mapping every page and API route and checking the known issues. That frees our CREST-accredited engineers for exploitation, access control and business logic. Fewer billable days means one flat fee instead of a day rate. Every finding is still validated by a person before it reaches your report.

Is CyberFortify really CREST accredited?

Yes. CyberFortify is a CREST member company, accredited for Penetration Testing and AI-Enabled Penetration Testing, and a signatory of the CREST AI Charter. You can check our listing on the CREST Marketplace before you book.

What counts as one application?

One web product your users sign in to, plus the API behind it. Size doesn’t change the price: a large SaaS platform with many roles is still £2,400. A mobile app, an internal network or a cloud configuration review is a separate scope, and we’ll quote it on the call if you need it.

Is the price really fixed?

Yes. £2,400 per application, agreed on the scoping call before testing starts. The retest of your fixes is included. There are no day rates, so the invoice doesn’t grow if testing takes longer.

Is Cyber Essentials Plus the same as a penetration test?

No. Cyber Essentials Plus is a certification with a hands-on check of five basic controls. It doesn’t test your application for vulnerabilities the way a penetration test does.

Are you a CHECK company?

No. CHECK is the NCSC scheme for UK government and critical national infrastructure systems. If your contract names CHECK, you need a CHECK company, and we’ll tell you so on the call. CyberFortify is CREST accredited.

How fast can you start?

Testing usually starts within a week of the scoping call, and most reports are ready in four to seven working days. Criticals are flagged within 24 hours of discovery.

What happens to our data?

CyberFortify works under ISO 27001 certified processes. Client data from the engagement is disposed of afterwards, as set out in the statement of work. Every assignment carries professional liability insurance and Koop cyber insurance.
