Get a Quote

CREST-accredited penetration testing is security testing delivered by a firm that CREST has independently assessed and approved. CREST audits the method, data management and tester competence based on the high standards set in the world. The accreditation is a means of demonstrating that the work is in line with a recognised benchmark. For buyers, it eliminates the guesswork, as it is hiring actual expertise and not marketing claims.

Key Benefits

Benefits of Conducting CREST Penetration Testing

CREST-certified penetration testing provides more than just a report. It safeguards revenue, reputation and regulatory positions

Identify Real-World Attack Paths

Scanners list isolated issues. Our testers chain them into working attack paths, showing exactly how an intruder would reach your most sensitive data.

Improve Compliance Readiness

CREST penetration testing services produce evidence auditors accept. One engagement can support ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR obligations together.

Security Assessments You Can Trust

CREST assesses our methodology, data handling, and tester competence independently. You are not taking our word for quality. A recognised global body verified it.

Reduce Business and Financial Risk

Finding a critical flaw before an attacker does costs a fraction of a breach. Early remediation protects revenue, uptime, and customer data from expensive incidents.

Actionable Remediation Guidance

Every finding arrives with reproduction steps and a specific fix. Your developers know exactly what to change, so remediation starts immediately rather than stalling.

Strengthen Customer Trust

Enterprise buyers increasingly demand proof of security before signing. A CREST-approved penetration testing report answers their questionnaires and shortens your sales cycle.

Other Types

Different Types of CREST Penetration Testing

All CREST-certified penetration testing engagements take one of three paths depending on the amount of information that the testers are given.

Black box testing
Zero Knowledge

Black Box Testing

Testers are not provided with any internal information. They attack just as an external criminal would, under realistic conditions, to test your perimeter and defences.

White box testing
Full Knowledge

White Box Testing

Testers have access to the whole source code and credentials. This hits code-level flaws, logic errors and hidden backdoors in a time-efficient manner.

Gray box testing
Some Knowledge

Gray Box Testing

Testers are given partial access, typically valid credentials. This is an example of a real breach, where the attacker already has stolen login credentials in their possession.

Process To Start Assessment

How to Begin Your CREST Penetration Testing with Qualysec

Five simple steps from first contact to CREST-accredited penetration testing, with no obligation.

1

Contact us

Get in touch via our website, email or phone. Tell us what you need tested and why. A specialist quickly assesses your goals, timelines and any compliance deadlines when working out the scope of your CREST-accredited penetration testing project.

2

Pre-Assessment Form

We send a short form, called the Pre-Assessment Form, which asks you about your environment, technology stack and objectives. It takes just minutes to do. The answers enable us to estimate your engagement accurately, so your proposal is not a guess.

3

Proposal Meeting

We explain the scope, methodology, timeline and pricing in the proposed work. Ask anything. The call is to see if the engagement is a good fit in terms of risk, budget, and time before both sides officially get engaged.

4

NDA and Agreement Signing

Before sensitive information is exchanged, we sign an NDA and Agreement. The service agreement then spells out scope, rules of engagement, time and deliverables. All is in writing; both parties know what to expect.

5

Pre-requisite Collection

We collect what is needed for testing, such as test credentials, environment access, API documentation, and any architecture details. Our team guides you through each item. Until access is determined to be working and your team is completely ready, nothing will happen.
