IT Services Firms

IT Services Firms face increasing competition, the need to deliver value beyond cost reductions, and rapidly growing customer demands for application security solutions to meet GRC requirements. Veracode’s SecurityReview on-demand automated application security assessment service allows IT Services Firms to differentiate their application outsourcing and service offerings by providing independent testing of applications without large, up-front investments in hardware, software or training.

Differentiate with IV&V Services

Whether you are developing new applications, maintaining existing software or engaging in application transformation, the ability to differentiate your services from the competition beyond cost is critical. Veracode empowers organizations to quickly capture the market opportunity for application Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V) which provide you with a competitive advantage and an ability to broaden your security capabilities within existing accounts.

Expand Your Offerings to Compliance & Risk Markets

Outsourced applications are subject to a greater degree of scrutiny and analyst firm Gartner recently recommended to their clients that "Application Security Testing Should Be Mandatory for Outsourced Development and Maintenance (ID Number: G00146313)". New regulations such as PCI, OCC Bulletin 2008-16 for financial services and FISMA government guidelines call for independent application security assessments to achieve regulatory compliance. Veracode enables IT Services Firms to be proactive and tap into these new GRC markets through our automated on-demand SecurityReview service.

Globally Scale Security Practices and Improve Margins

IT Services Firms struggle with pricing pressures, decreasing margins and the ability to retain skilled personnel to keep pace with the growing customer demand for application security testing. But, growing the business means a direct increase in headcount. Veracode’s on-demand software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution augments your security service staff to dramatically scale the business and drive strong margins by assessing more applications in a faster amount of time while focusing your valuable security personnel on the issues that matter most.

Leverage Application Security to Drive Services

Veracode's automated application security solution allows organizations to conduct entire application inventory assessment as part of application transformation services or as a value-added part of risk management solutions. IT Services Firms leverage inventory assessments to drive follow-on services such as application remediation, application transformation, quarterly vulnerability scanning, merger & acquisition risk consulting and penetration testing.

Enable Customer Self-Service Capability After The Engagement Ends

Veracode's automated application security solution allows consulting partners to leave behind a self-service secure coding portal after the engagement is over.

Based on breakthrough binary analysis, this self service secure coding portal independently verifies the security posture of applications within 24-72 hours without requiring any additional hardware, software or personnel. It’s a win-win, enabling an easy-to-use, cost effective application security assessment solution, while enabling partners to develop an on-going assessment capability after the engagement ends .
