We are pleased to announce that CNS are the first company headquartered in Wales to become CREST approved for our Penetration Testing Services.
The prestigious accreditation establishes us as a leading provider of penetration testing and cyber security services and is hot off the tail of our recent award of ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications.
Penetration testing provides a very meaningful way for businesses to identify and address potential vulnerabilities in their systems or security investments. Due to the importance and implications of this testing it is vital that trusted and experienced penetration testing providers are used, to ensure that testing is conducted as safely as possible to avoid any possible damage or disruption.
This partnership with CREST allows us to demonstrate that we conduct our testing in a highly technical and ethical manner having undergone a rigorous assessment process.
Ian Glover, President of CREST says, “CREST is delighted to welcome CNS as a member company. By becoming a CREST member, CNS is demonstrating its commitment to delivering the highest professional security services standards to its customers.”
Our Managing Director, Sarah Edwards, says, “It is a real testament to the team that we have become the first fully Welsh based business to become CREST accredited. The award further establishes CNS as one of the leading cyber security companies in the UK.”
