Casco Achieves CREST Accreditation for Penetration Testing

Written by Rene Brandel on Wed Apr 08 2026

Casco is proud to announce that we have achieved CREST accreditation for penetration testing. You can find us in the CREST marketplace. This accreditation recognizes our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of security testing methodology, ethics, and technical excellence.

What is CREST?

CREST (Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers) is an international not-for-profit accreditation and certification body that represents the technical information security industry. CREST accreditation is widely recognized by regulators, enterprises, and governments as a mark of quality for security testing providers.

CREST Accreditation

Why CREST Matters

CREST accreditation ensures that Casco meets rigorous standards across several dimensions:

  • Technical Competence: Our security engineers demonstrate proven expertise through CREST examinations and ongoing professional development
  • Ethical Standards: We adhere to a strict code of conduct governing how we handle sensitive information and conduct security assessments
  • Quality Processes: Our penetration testing methodologies follow industry best practices with documented procedures and quality controls
  • Insurance and Liability: CREST-accredited companies maintain appropriate professional indemnity insurance

For our clients, this means confidence that their security assessments are conducted by qualified professionals using proven methodologies.

A Commitment to Excellence

Casco already provides always-on security testing that outperforms traditional manual pentests. For customers who need CREST-approved penetration tests with human attestation, our Casco Supervised offering delivers the best of both worlds — expert human security engineers backed by our autonomous testing platform, all meeting the rigorous standards that CREST accreditation demands.
