Challenges and Solutions

  1. Challenge

    Regulatory requirements are strict, and the planning and execution of pentests in particular must be documented in an auditable way.

    Solution with mesher

    With clean and transparent processes and correspondingly granular reporting, regulatory requirements can be met and maturity increased.

  2. Challenge

    Key data is often kept in Microsoft Excel, which neither meets regulatory requirements nor is suitable for automated processing. As a result, interfaces to existing data sources often cannot be used.

    Solution with mesher

    Using a dedicated application lays the foundation for efficient and collaborative work.

  3. Challenge

    A lack of automation means many repetitive tasks and an inefficient, error-prone process. Postponed or insufficient pentests mean not only unnecessary extra costs but also regulatory problems.

    Solution with mesher

    Automation makes processes goal-oriented and prevents errors. Everyone involved gains time for the key steps of the process.

Features
