Penetration Testing
Threats to organizational information systems are not decreasing. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for the mortgage industry and GLBA for any financial-related industry keep increasing the control requirements necessary to keep data secure. One of these new requirements is an independent penetration test.
The Commonwealth Group helps mortgage lenders strengthen cybersecurity, reduce risk, and stay ahead of evolving compliance requirements. The Commonwealth Group is proud to partner with Peninsula Technology Group to provide human-led, penetration testing services for our clients.
