Lewis Fairburn

Marketing Manager

Lewis is the Marketing Manager at Pentest People, focusing on brand growth, reputation and strategy. Being with the company since our early years, he has developed a sound knowledge of technical areas and trends.

This year continues to be one of great milestones for Pentest People as we’ve been named as one of Britain’s fastest-growing private companies by The Sunday Times 100, ranking 87

The inclusion recognises our significant achievements during a challenging time for businesses in the UK. Our ranking reflects the had work the team has put to get the company where it is today to achieve annual sales growth of 55.42% over three years, to £7.2m. 

Since being founded in 2018, this success has come from our innovative approach to helping organisations test the security of their IT environments. Focused on bringing the benefits of Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS), it enables organisations to identify and fix vulnerabilities faster to help IT teams reduce the window of risk. 

Providing traditional penetration tests alongside managed scanning with SecurePortal, we deliver a 24/7 watchdog to support businesses to stay ahead of potential attackers. With Secure Portal, organisations can detect vulnerabilities and remediate them before they’re exploited.

"Being acknowledged as one of Britain's fastest-growing private companies is a resounding testament to the dedication of our talented team, propelling our business to unparalleled heights. Our team of highly skilled consultants work around the clock to help customers fight back against cybercriminals. The ever-shifting online threat landscape, exacerbated by the widespread adoption of cloud-based technologies and rise of hybrid and remote work environments, casts a shadow over many businesses. We pride ourselves on delivering solutions that transform the way organisations protect themselves against cyber threats and safeguard their businesses effectively,” comments Anthony Harvey, Co-Founder of Pentest People. 

We were also awarded a place on the Tech Climbers regional list that showcases the top-performing, IP-rich, product-led technology businesses in Yorkshire. 

Looking to the future, we’re set to continue to grow organically while remaining a privately owned company, maintain its high level of customer satisfaction and most importantly, continue to nurture young talent, offering apprenticeships/jobs and educate the community on cybersecurity to make sure society is safe.
