Working with Shakira and Special Compass was a truly positive experience. Shakira attended all four of our scheduled meetings and was fully present during our final presentation, which we greatly appreciated. She was consistently engaged and responsive through email communication, making collaboration smooth and professional. While we wished we had access to more detailed internal information such as financial reports to strengthen our analysis, we are still very satisfied with the support and insights Shakira provided throughout the project. Her dedication to the process stood out, and we thank her for the opportunity to contribute to Special Compass.

Highly responsive and engaged.

Special Compass provided a highly engaging and practical real-world challenge for our Master's students as part of their degree programme. This project allowed the students to apply their expertise, collaborate effectively as a team, and present their findings to a business client. The organisation was supportive throughout, offering valuable feedback to enhance the students' experience. We deeply appreciate the contribution to our work—thank you

This project was about securing a MongoDB and WordPress website which were not connected or implemented properly. The students went above and beyond the project and accomplished more than requested. They have developed a full functional website for Special Compass with a secured MongoDB database integrated with Splunk. They implemented RBAC, hashing for secure file upload, back logging files, periodical session ID management and integrated Splunk for security purposes. As cybersecurity students, they got the opportunity to build a secured system for the employer. We are grateful for the opportunity and the support that we got from them during the project.
