Update, September 2026: Exploitr has since achieved full CREST membership for penetration testing. This article is kept as a record of the Pathway stage that preceded it.
We are excited to announce that Exploitr has taken a significant step in our commitment to excellence within the cybersecurity industry by gaining CREST Pathway status. Joining the CREST Accreditation Pathway shows our dedication to providing a high standard of penetration testing and cybersecurity services to our clients.
What is CREST?
CREST is a globally recognised not-for-profit membership body that sets the benchmark for cybersecurity services standards. CREST and their accreditation standards are highly respected within the industry, and achieving CREST membership and accreditation is a testament to an organisation's commitment to quality, professionalism, and ethical practices.
What is CREST Pathway?
A CREST Pathway organisation has signed Codes of Conduct and Ethics and committed to CREST's standards. A CREST Pathway organisation is aiming for, but is not, a CREST member company.
Why Join the CREST Accreditation Pathway?
Joining the CREST Pathway is a notable milestone for Exploitr. The CREST Pathway status indicates that we are actively working towards full CREST accreditation, which involves rigorous assessments of our processes, methodologies, and the skills of our team.
Our Commitment to Excellence
By joining the CREST Pathway, we are committing to:
- Quality Assurance: Delivering high-quality penetration testing services that meet and exceed industry standards and best practices.
- Continuous Improvement: Continuously refine our methodologies and processes to ensure we stay at the forefront of delivering cybersecurity services.
- Professional Development: Regular training and assessments to enhance our team's skills and knowledge, ensuring they are equipped to handle the latest threats and vulnerabilities.
- Client Trust: Build and maintain trust with our clients by demonstrating our commitment to transparency, integrity, and professionalism.
- Ethical Practices: Adhering to strict ethical guidelines and the CREST code of conduct, ensuring that our penetration testing services are performed responsibly and with the utmost respect for our clients' systems and data.
Looking ahead
At the time, we were working towards achieving full CREST membership and accreditation. That milestone has since been reached: Exploitr is now a CREST member company, accredited for penetration testing.
