('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) One firm that immediately comes to mind that my company has had a lot of success with throughout the years is RVASI – Ethical Hacking Solutions (www.rvasi.com). Before going with them, we evaluated a lot of other companies (small, medium, and large) however, we found these guys to be one of the best kept secrets out there when it comes to providing comprehensive Web application vulnerability assessments at an affordable/reasonable cost, by a team of real pros.
 
Some of the fundamental differences we noticed between their company and others was the level of detail and depth of the assessment, information shared during and after the assessment, approach, methodology, expert use of tools & techniques, and excellent reporting. Although we regularly re-evaluate other third-party companies, these guys have remained at the top of our list and are a definite match when it comes to the key areas of concern that you mentioned.

Finally, I really like the idea of querying a list like this for successes that others have had with companies…one thing I found during a similar quest was that a number of companies (large & small alike) looked great on paper, talked a good game, etc., but fell short when the rubber hit the road. Wish I would have thought of doing the same thing in the past…it probably would have saved us a lot of time and effort.

Cheers,

Karen
