We are pleased to announce yet another successful customer project involving a complex customisation of Joomla. This latest project involved heavy customisation and bespoke coding of the ever so popular CMS (Content Management System).

Just in case you've never heard of it: "Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that's freely available to everyone."

There are a variety of reasons for performing a penetration test. One of the main reasons is to find vulnerabilities and fix them before an attacker does. Sometimes, the IT department is aware of reported vulnerabilities but they need an outside expert to officially report them so that management will approve the resources necessary to fix them. Having a second set of eyes check out a critical computer system is a good security practice. Testing a new system before it goes on-line is also a good idea. Another reason for a penetration test is to give the IT department at the target company a chance to respond to an attack. The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard, and other recent security recommendations and regulations, require external security testing.

Similar to Joomla we specialise in WordPress customisation! WordPress is a modern Content Management System giving web users the power to control and produce both online blogs and websites on their own. Through one simple install of this open source software, web users will soon notice that building and managing online content has never been easier. By harnessing WordPress in conjunction with the plethora of plugins, widgets, and simple php commands available, an entire world of online possibilities becomes accessible at the touch of a button.
