In February 2009, SensePost, a leading Information Security consultancy was engaged by SID Payment to perform an assessment of SID, the new web-based payment platform developed by SID Payment.

Technical testing was conducted from a common point on the Internet using access privileges normally granted to parties with access to the SID environment. Testing was conducted by qualified, experienced SensePost staff and included the use of industry standard software tools as well as manual techniques. SensePost's application testing was designed to test SID's systems for known security vulnerabilities, and to determine the extent to which those systems are vulnerable to an attack. In addition to the technical testing, SensePost performed an architecture assessment and reviewed key practices surrounding software development and subsequent use of SID application.

Having reviewed the application code and conducting a series of penetration tests, SensePost found that SID have identified and addressed the common threats to web based applications through adopting secure coding practices and deployment of a hardened application delivery infrastructure that is well secured against typical security breaches.
