Case Study: Private Box achieves rapid, secure releases and PCI compliance with Outpost24 SWAT

PCI Compliance and Web Application Testing

Private Box, a New Zealand online postal service, needed PCI compliance for credit-card payments and a more affordable, continuous security-testing approach. After finding traditional PCI scanning expensive, Private Box engaged Outpost24—initially using OUTSCAN PCI and then trialling Outpost24’s SWAT service on their account manager’s recommendation.

Outpost24 delivered continuous, hacker-perspective testing through SWAT (alongside OUTSCAN PCI), performing controlled penetration tests against Private Box’s web applications. The result: Private Box achieved PCI compliance, cut scanning costs, and gained the confidence to release new code weekly; ongoing testing by Outpost24 helped protect customer data, preserve trust, and provide a competitive edge.
