“Pentest People stand out in the field of penetration testing due to the skillset of people they have working there. We undertook a complex bespoke pentest with them which required a lot of pre-work in order to make sure it was scoped correctly and they took the time to come onsite to make sure all was correct prior to commencing. From my experience with them, they are very intelligent people with a deep understanding of the security landscape and we will continue to use them for future testing requirements”.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
