Abacus has officially achieved CREST accreditation for its penetration testing services, marking a significant milestone in its cybersecurity journey. As a global IT Managed Services Provider (MSP) and Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP), Abacus continues to strengthen its position in delivering high-quality security solutions to highly regulated industries.
Notably, the Council for Registered Ethical Security Testers (CREST) accreditation is globally recognized and validates that Abacus performs penetration testing in line with the highest technical, ethical, and legal standards. Furthermore, regulators and enterprises widely trust this certification, making it a key benchmark in the cybersecurity industry.
To achieve this accreditation, Abacus underwent a rigorous and independent evaluation process. During this process, CREST thoroughly assessed the company’s penetration testing methodologies, team expertise, and operational practices. In addition, Abacus had to provide clear evidence of its data handling procedures, quality assurance frameworks, and internal controls.
Moreover, the company demonstrated its commitment to continuous improvement by showcasing an ongoing professional training program for its cybersecurity specialists. It also submitted multiple client references, highlighting its strong reputation for professionalism, in-depth testing capabilities, and consistent service quality.
As a result, this achievement provides both existing clients and potential customers with increased confidence. They can now rely on Abacus as a trusted partner that adheres to globally accepted security best practices while delivering advanced and secure penetration testing services.
Importantly, only a limited number of MSPs worldwide have earned CREST accreditation. Therefore, this accomplishment further reinforces Abacus’ leadership in the cybersecurity space and underscores its dedication to protecting sensitive data while ensuring compliance with strict regulatory standards.
Tom Cole, Senior Managing Director, EMEA at Abacus says: “In an age of relentless cyberattacks and constantly evolving regulatory requirements, it is crucial our clients can trust that they are working with a top-tier partner. The CREST accreditation validates our alignment with global best practices, providing our clients in regulated industries, like financial services and healthcare, with verification and assurance of our Red Team’s strict technical rigor.”
Beyond accreditation, Abacus continues to enhance its service offerings. Its penetration testing solutions enable organizations to better understand their attack surface and strengthen their defense-in-depth strategies. By simulating real-world cyberattacks, the company helps clients identify vulnerabilities across cloud, network, and server infrastructures.
Additionally, Abacus has introduced an advanced adversarial simulation service. This innovative approach combines the scalability and precision of agentic AI with the expertise of seasoned Red Team professionals. Consequently, clients benefit from highly accurate, intelligent, and context-driven security assessments.
