A telecommunications company is working with Halo Security to conduct penetration testing of their new product suite. The team also provides a self-serve platform for scanning the product suite.
The scanning and pentests conducted by Halo Security have exceeded the client's compliance requirements. The team is very efficient and completes the tasks within the targeted timelines. Halo Security has brilliant project management skills and communicates via Zoom calls and emails.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
Aizan Technologies provides intelligent cloud communication solutions that help businesses connect with their customers. We offer intuitive and smart tools in partnership with other innovative companies.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Halo Security?
We needed to do regular scanning and penetration testing (pen testing) of our new product suite.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of work with Halo Security?
We’re undergoing the process of becoming compliant with PIPEDA, SOC2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. Scanning and pen testing are both requirements for the above compliances. We use the Halo Security platform for scanning, which is self-serve. The Halo Security team conducts the pen tests.
What is the team composition?
We work with two teammates from Halo Security.
How did you come to work with Halo Security?
We use Sprinto as our compliance tool, and Halo Security appeared as an integration point on Sprinto. We looked at all the Sprinto integrations, and after meeting with the Halo Security team and considering the pricing, they were the clear winner.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in January 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Both the scanning and pen tests have exceeded our compliance requirements. The Halo Security team is very efficient; we’ve completed both the scanning and pen tests well within the targeted timelines. They’ve been completed within a couple of weeks, so it’s not a large project with deadlines, etc.
We can get the auditors in much quicker than initially planned — about six weeks ahead of our audit process.
How did Halo Security perform from a project management standpoint?
Halo Security’s project management is brilliant across all groups and levels. We communicate via a combination of Zoom calls and email.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their flexibility to meet with our team is impressive. They also have the right folks on the call so that we can address both the commercial and technical elements at the same time.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, the experience is way better than expected. Halo Security is now our go-to security compliance group.
