We value what our customers think of us

Blackfoot are authentic, hard-working, flexible and committed. Finding a partner who has our best interests at heart, one who tries to find solutions that work for us as a customer is like gold-dust. I now consider Blackfoot as part of my trusted partner network for any future projects.

"As our business has expanded so quickly, we have had to learn and implement new policies, processes, controls internally and externally, upskill staff and manage 3rd parties differently, it’s been a heck of a learning curve. During the onboarding and kick off meetings the support exceeded what I was expecting. The support from Blackfoot was amazing."

I was very impressed with your project managers persistence and attention to detail. She clearly understood the technical side of the testing and was very patient and polite when chasing up due to slow / delayed responses on our side. Overall, the approach gave me confidence that the testing was being planned carefully and that Blackfoot were helping us get the best out of the plan.

"I’m pleased to have seen the account progress, I know your consultants have dedicated a lot of time to the project and I’m excited to report back to their transformation director in the new year around their latest level of data security and privacy maturity based on the investment they have made"

“ I would like to add my thanks as in previous years you have really supported us and helped us to renew our certification and the entire process has been smooth and painless, we are most grateful."
