We are certified to deliver

PCI QSA (Qualified Security Assessor)

Qualified by the PCI Security Standards Council to independently assess organisations against PCI DSS. If you handle card payment data and need a formal compliance assessment, we're authorised to conduct and validate it.

Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus Certifying Body

Licensed by IASME and the UK MOD to certify organisations against the Defence Cyber Protection Partnership framework. If you're in the defence supply chain and need DCC certification, we can assess and issue it.

Training body accreditations

Our team's qualifications

Our penetration testers hold CREST Practitioner and Principal professional titles.

Threat Intelligence Analysts

Our threat intelligence analysts hold CREST qualifications at practitioner, analyst, and manager level (CPTIA, CRTIA and CTIM).
