"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."
Andrew Rose, Information Security Manager, Allen & Overy
"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."
Richard Dowland, Business Systems Manager, Marina Developments Ltd
"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."
Martin Lines, IT Manager, Rawlinson & Hunter
"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."
Jason Wilkins, Head of IT, Xstrata Group
"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."
Myles Gibbins, Group IT Director, Crest Nicholson
"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."
Peter Taylor, Information Security Manager, Bradford & Bingley
"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."
Gareth Williams, IT Manager, Thompson Heath & Bond
