At Sprocket Security, we believe that trust is earned. Today, I’m proud to share that we’ve officially achieved CREST certification in penetration testing. CREST (Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers) is an international not-for-profit, membership body representing the global cybersecurity industry.

This globally recognized mark of excellence in the cybersecurity industry solidifies that our methodologies and team meet the highest standards in ethical, effective, and evidence-based offensive security testing. The rigorous assessment process requires in-depth audits of our technical capabilities, processes, and code of conduct. We hold ourselves to those standards every day, so validation with this certification for our team and company is a huge achievement.

Why This Matters

Achieving CREST certification validates our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of technical excellence and professional integrity. For our clients, this means confidence that our Continuous Penetration Testing (CPT) is conducted in line with internationally recognized methodologies, supported by robust quality assurance and oversight processes.

Our testing operations follow rigorous, repeatable processes that emphasize integrity, transparency, and value. The findings and recommendations we provide are actionable, prioritized, and grounded in real-world attacker behavior.

Engaging with CPT delivers:

  • Real-Time Visibility: Continuous monitoring through Attack Surface Management (ASM) to test upon change of a dynamic attack surface.
  • Unlimited Retesting: Retest anytime at no extra cost to quickly verify fixes.
  • Remediation Support: Get expert remediation guidance, not just reports.
  • Compliance Confidence: Always-on testing to meet SOC 2, PCI, ISO, and more.

Team Milestone, Industry Impact

The CREST Certification reflects the passion and discipline of our testers. Indeed, a huge shoutout to our testing team – their relentless curiosity, deep expertise, and hard work made this possible. The recognition achieved raises the bar for not just the company, but the industry as a whole.

Through our hybrid approach of automation paired with human ingenuity, we strive to outpace cybersecurity issues to create a safer world. This milestone on our ongoing journey to secure as many businesses as possible and prevent breaches underscores our commitment to raising the standards of cybersecurity.

What’s Next?

Our CREST certification isn’t the finish line—it’s a checkpoint. We’re already pushing forward:

  • Innovating what a modern pentest should be
  • Elevating industry standards
  • Supporting more organizations through continuous, trusted testing

If you’re a security leader looking for a security partner that doesn’t just meet the standards but helps define them, we’d love to talk to you about CPT.
