Crest STAR ILPT

We are proud to have been presented with STAR ILPT (Intelligence-led Penetration Testing) accreditation in addition to our existing CREST (Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers) membership.

This reinforces our dedication to delivering the highest standards in cyber security services, alongside our existing CREST accreditations, which includes: Vulnerability Assessment (VA), Penetration Testing (Pen Testing), Cyber Security Incident Response (CSIR), and Security Operations Centre (SOC).

This latest achievement recognises our enhanced capabilities in simulating real-world cyber threats, and providing our customers with rigorous, intelligence-driven security assessments. By leveraging threat intelligence insights, our STAR ILPT services help organisations identify vulnerabilities, assess potential attack paths, and strengthen their defences against sophisticated cyber threats.

With cyber risks evolving rapidly, intelligence-led testing ensures organisations stay ahead of potential threats, improving resilience and compliance with industry standards. Our continued investment in CREST-accredited services reinforces our dedication to delivering top-tier cyber security solutions.
