Choosing a penetration testing provider
A penetration test (an authorized, controlled attack on your systems) is hard to judge from the outside. These articles help boards, security heads and procurement teams buy one with confidence. CREST is an international body that accredits testing companies and certifies individual testers. The articles cover what CREST accreditation means, how it compares with ISO 27001 and SOC 2, and the real cost of a cheap pen test. They are written by Snipeyes, a CREST-accredited and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified firm in Jakarta.
