In the 24 years we have performed external and internal testing, we have never increased our fees, which we do not plan to change.  Other independent testing companies cannot make this claim. 

Our cybersecurity testing uses the same ranking of vulnerabilities required by the Payment Card Industry, including MasterCard and Visa, required banks, merchants and Member Service Providers (MSPs) to protect cardholder information by adhering to a set of security standards.  In addition, they use artificial intelligence to detect known threats as well as unknown vulnerabilities and perform more than 2 billion IP audits per year. The Payment Card Industry security standard (PCI) includes MasterCard's Site Data Protection (SDP) program and Visa's Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP).

FYI - The FDIC, NCUA, and the OCC do not have a requirement that financial institutions change penetration testing firms on a periodic basis. Any such decision would be up to bank management.  Refer to http://www.yennik.com/occ_10-12-16_rotation_letter.pdf http://www.yennik.com/ncua_12-21-16_rotation_letter.pdf, and at http://www.yennik.com/fdic_10-18-16_rotation_letter.pdf.
