The Importance of External Testing for a Secure System
Founded in 1989, the Mitta Group operates internationally as a consulting company specializing in measurement and field research, in addition to its operations in Finland. The Group employs over 500 industry professionals across more than 30 locations. In Finland, Mitta is the market leader in its sector, with four main areas of expertise: measurement, geotechnical surveys, environmental services, and laboratory services.
"We generate information, data, and insights to add value for our customers in everything we do," says Pasi Pinta, CEO of EHP Environmental Solutions Canada Ltd, a company owned by Mitta Oy in Canada. Pasi Pinta also serves as the technical lead for the MittaWorld platform project.
Along with its extensive experience, Mitta’s strength lies in new innovations, such as the recent launch of the MittaWorld service. According to Pinta, MittaWorld introduces an entirely new operating model to the industry, combining specialized expertise and data in a unique way.
Prove's Expertise Put to the Test
"It is important for us to be able to concretely demonstrate and guarantee operational reliability to our customers with a service that meets current norms and standards. Having it tested by an external party means the customer doesn’t just have to take our word for it," Pinta explains.
Before launching the new MittaWorld service, Mitta wanted to ensure and safeguard its overall security with the help of an external expert. Pinta says Mitta Oy carefully evaluated different service providers before initiating cooperation.
"We concluded that Prove was the right choice — they have everything under control and offer the external expertise crucial for us to validate the security of our system."
Prove conducted a security audit of the service, also reviewing potential vulnerabilities according to a defined standard. Any findings that required strengthening or modification were addressed, and afterward, everything was confirmed to be in excellent shape.
"Everything went smoothly," says Pinta. "The testing process was seamless. Prove’s approach to assignments like this is excellent. It’s clear that they are thorough and highly skilled. Their method is effective, their work is confident, and their expertise is solid."
Pinta has no hesitation in recommending Prove for similar projects.
"With Prove, the system is examined thoroughly, and their strong expertise clearly stood out during our collaboration. I can confidently recommend Prove to any company needing to test similar IT systems," Pinta concludes.
