We’re thrilled to announce that Mantel has successfully achieved accreditation from CREST, the leading global body for accrediting ethical hacking and penetration testing services.
This accrediation underscores our commitment to delivering top-tier cyber security solutions and reinforces our position as a trusted partner for highly-regulated and mature clients.
CREST accreditation is a testament to our cyber security team’s dedication and expertise. This rigorous process, spanning approximately 12 months, involved a comprehensive evaluation of our operations and technical capabilities. It required extensive documentation of our testing Standard Operating Procedures and the alignment of our Terms & Conditions with CREST’s stringent requirements.
To meet CREST’s high standards, we established robust infrastructure, including:
-
Full penetration testing infrastructure built in the cloud.
-
A secure report delivery server to ensure the safe transfer of client findings.
-
An external scanning system, on cloud infrastructure.
-
A secure repository for data sovereignty-compliant document storage.
Furthermore, we provided formal written references from clients, attesting to our proven capability in delivering these specialised services.
This achievement is a moment of immense pride for our entire team. It reflects our core principles of making things better and loving what we do to be awesome at it. It highlights our deep expertise and our commitment to making complex technology accessible and secure for our clients.
CREST accreditation is a pivotal step in the development of Mantel’s cyber security offerings, enabling us to continue empowering businesses with innovative technology and a people-first approach. Achieving this accreditation underscores our partnership approach with our clients to make things better in their organisations.
“Achieving CREST accreditation is a significant milestone for the Mantel cyber security team, and demonstrates our unwavering commitment to delivering the highest standard of cyber security services to our clients. This accreditation is a testament to the expertise and dedication of our offensive security team, and it provides our clients with even greater assurance that they are partnering with a trusted and capable provider."”
