What our clients think of us:

"First Base Technologies has provided an invaluable security service to B&Q since 1997. That service has included vulnerability analysis, penetration testing, security audits, training, technical research and advice etc. Whilst being serious about security, First Base has a refreshing approach to the challenges faced in this area."

"I have been impressed with the flexibility, knowledge and friendliness of First Base Technologies. First Base Technologies are a firm that takes a real interest in the customer and they work hard to ensure that, at the end of the day, we are not just left with a weighty report but that we have gained a greater level of knowledge and understanding as well."

"During the system security audit of Marina Developments we found First Base Technologies to be not only highly professional but also very friendly natured. Unlike many security consultants, First Base Technologies did not attempt to make any hard sells of security products. They just came in and carried out the job required, producing high quality reports of their findings for Management. Importantly they didn't just leave us with the reports, they took the time to explain the findings to management in terms they could understand. Working with First Base Technologies was an enjoyable experience, and I would strongly recommend them to anyone requiring system security services."

"I have found First Base Technologies to be a trusted and independent security specialist. They have helped Rawlinson & Hunter to understand the threats and also given very practical advice on how to counter them."

"First Base has provided security testing services to Xstrata since 2002. Their team has proven knowledgeable, flexible and helpful - providing expert services with the minimum of fuss. Their reports are accurate and meaningful, backed up with discussions and explanations to ensure that we are as secure as possible."

"I first came across Peter Wood and First Base Technologies in 1998. I have sought them out in the two companies I have worked for since, and have recommended them on many occasions. A high level of professionalism has been displayed in every piece of work they have undertaken for me - their pragmatic approach is refreshing and their genuine enthusiasm for the work they do shines through on every assignment."

"We have worked closely with First Base Technologies to improve our understanding of network security risks, in particular in relation to our web sites, and we have always found the First Base Technologies team responsive, professional and highly competent."

"I first came into contact with First Base Technologies through training courses they ran on Windows NT and firewall security on behalf of Sophos. The courses were excellent: informative, relaxed and easy to follow. When I needed to ensure our Internet connection was secure, I turned to them for assistance. The reports they provided on our installation were very thorough and easy to follow, and included suggested solutions to potential problems. In addition, they have been available to offer advice and guidance where necessary. They have since formed the White-Hats group, which provides a forum for discussing security issues with like-minded souls. This has also proved to be an informative, friendly and helpful group."
