The CREST Cyber Security Incident Response (CSIR) accreditation is an esteemed certification designed to assure that an organisation has the necessary processes, skills, and capabilities to support clients in mitigating, responding to, and recovering from cyber incidents. CREST, a globally recognised accreditation body, sets the benchmark for high standards in cyber security, ensuring that accredited companies deliver excellence in every facet of cyber response services.

Achieving CREST CSIR accreditation is a significant milestone for any cyber security provider. It verifies that the organisation meets strict criteria that align with best practices in the cyber security industry, especially when dealing with complex and high-stakes situations like cyber incidents. This accreditation not only reflects the technical capabilities of the team but also ensures that the organisation can handle the most critical phases of an incident—from immediate containment to full recovery.

Why CREST CSIR Matters for Businesses

For businesses, partnering with a CREST CSIR-accredited provider like Pentest People ensures confidence that they are receiving world-class service. The accreditation provides peace of mind that the team responding to incidents has been rigorously vetted and holds the skills required to handle emergencies efficiently and effectively.
