We have used phew for many years to help keep our platform secure. Their customer service has always been excellent. I would highly recommend them.

Excellent, responsive, and thorough security partner!
We’ve worked with Phew for many years, and they’ve been consistently excellent across every round of penetration testing.
The reporting is one of the standout aspects: it’s clearly structured, prioritised, and easy for our engineering team to translate directly into meaningful, actionable improvements. Their team is professional, responsive, and constructive.
Communication is top-notch. We work with Nicole and their engineers via Slack, and it honestly feels like they’re extended members of our own team. They’re quick to respond, always helpful, and highly collaborative.
They also tailor their testing to our specific applications and tech stack, and they’ve uncovered issues we never would have identified on our own — adding real security value. The cost is very reasonable for the peace of mind and insight we get in return.
They’ve also helped raise our internal awareness around things like IDOR and OWASP risks, which has had lasting benefits beyond just a single test cycle.
Highly recommended if you’re looking for a capable, reliable, and friendly pen testing partner.

This was our second penetration test. We weren’t happy with the provider we used the first time, and the phew team was recommended to us. It’s a family business, everyone is easy to deal with. We enjoyed their proactive communication and overall approach to pen testing. We will keep using their service next year, highly recommend them!

Easy smooth engagement for pen testing. Didn’t need any handholding at all, just left them to it and appreciated the thoroughness of the findings which helped us realise the types of vulnerabilities to be watchful for within the application and in future development.

Thanks Erica, it was great to work with you and the team at Backstory!

This was our first penetration testing experience with our new application. We approached several companies; however, we liked the vibe of phew. Their attentive service and meticulous approach ensured a positive exercise and successful project outcome. RelatePerform looks forward to a long-term partnership with phew and would highly recommend their services.

Thanks Justin! We very much enjoyed working with you and the RelatePerform team on your first pen test, and look forward to working with you further over the coming years.

Phew are very professional, responsive, and a great value-for-money option; high quality at affordable rates. Their pragmatic approach, commercials and offering align well to the requirements of a typical cloud software company like us. Would definitely recommend!

Phew are a rare combination of both professional & practical. They considered our specific needs and were understanding & patient while we had to put work on hold due to lockdowns. I would highly recommend their services.

Thanks Lydia, we’re so pleased we could get your testing completed and meet the needs of both your schedule and the extenuating circumstances!

Dealing with phew has been great and the work has been very thorough and of a high level of quality. With Whooshkaa’s pen-testing in particular, the team puts a great deal of emphasis on details and varied testing strategies to do a real cover of the platform. The team has also been very cooperative to discuss any findings to ensure that we understand and learn from them completely. I highly recommend phew.

Thank you Semin, we appreciate your support. We thoroughly enjoy working with you and the team at Whooshkaa!

Paul and the phew Cyber Security team are simply brilliant – providing advice and guidance where needed. Their focus on the relationship is invaluable and worth the $$ of investment.
