Our Mission

We have 300 accredited and quality assured members including many of the world’s leading cyber security companies.

Our members offer their clients industry-leading levels of quality and service, tested and assured against our audit and accreditation processes.

In addition to company accreditations, we also deliver globally respected certifications for cyber security professionals, helping thousands of individuals worldwide to develop their careers and potential.

We and our member companies work internationally with governments, national security agencies and regulatory bodies to support their work to safeguard our personal information, national security and infrastructures against those seeking to cause harm and damage.

CREST sits at the heart of the global cyber security industry and our members enjoy access to a hugely influential network through our international connections to member companies, individual professionals, governments, academia and other partners.

CREST accreditation is an internationally recognised badge of quality and trust for member companies.

All member companies submit policies, processes and procedures relating to their service provision as part of the accreditation process. These are rigorously assessed by our team before membership is approved, and member companies undertake a lighter touch annual renewal process.

All accredited companies and CREST registered individuals sign our Codes of Conduct further helping to ensure consistent quality of service.

Those buying services from our member companies are assured that they are dealing with a trusted company offering consistently high levels of service delivered by competent professional technical security staff.
