When people talk about CREST, they could mean several things depending on the context. At its core, CREST (Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers) is an internationally recognised body that sets the benchmark for cybersecurity assurance.

What is CREST?

CREST Accredits Companies

CREST accreditation is a mark of excellence for member organisations, assessing their methodologies, processes, and controls against rigorous industry standards.

This accreditation process includes examination of test methodologies, legal and regulatory requirements, data protection standards, logging and auditing, internal and external communications with stakeholders, as well as how test data security is maintained. 

Achieving this accreditation demonstrates a company's commitment to delivering high-quality security services.

CREST Certifies Individuals

CREST also certifies cybersecurity professionals, validating their technical abilities, knowledge, and experience.

While robust organisational processes are vital, equally important is ensuring that consultants responsible for leading engagements are capable. This validation ensures that individuals responsible for the most critical phases of testing have proven technical expertise to deliver results effectively.
