The Customer
Motor Data Solutions
Established in 2001, Motor Data Solutions Ltd (MDS) is a privately owned IT and data services provider based in the UK. Specialising in Motor Insurance Database (MID) services, MDS supports insurers, fleet operators, brokers, and motor trading agencies in managing, updating, and interfacing with vehicle insurance records.
As a small tech company reliant on customer-facing systems, it was crucial for MDS to ensure their interfaces and underlying technology were secure.
Overview
The Requirement
MDS were looking to engage with a long-term cyber security partner to support both regular vulnerability scanning and annual penetration testing, as part of their ongoing commitment to keeping customer-facing systems secure. The engagement was recommended by their existing IT provider, Weald Computers, who referred them to CybaVerse as a trusted provider.
To meet MDS’s requirements, CybaVerse quickly responded to their request, providing a clear and transparent scope of work tailored to their needs. This included weekly scanning on a newly deployed endpoint and comprehensive penetration testing aligned with their contractual obligations and internal goals for improving security posture.
"In this specific engagement we were impressed with CybaVerse's willingness to respond quickly to our requirements which allowed us to reassure our corporate customer of our cyber security credentials. It also gives us confidence as we roll out a new application that the site is secure."
Peter Holloway, IT Manager
Staying Ahead
Tracking Made Easy
CybaVerse provided weekly scanning for vulnerabilities and comprehensive penetration tests to help MDS stay ahead of threats, meet contract requirements, and confidently launch new digital services. The platform gave MDS a central reference point for tracking risks and progress, with the added benefit of direct communication and fast support.
“As a small business we appreciate the responsiveness of CybaVerse and the ability to feed back on processes and interfaces. We value the online interface so that we have a central point of reference for review.”
