CREST Penetration Testing You Can Trust
What is CREST Certified Penetration Testing?
CREST penetration testing is a rigorous, independently validated approach to identifying security vulnerabilities in your systems. Our accredited testers follow globally recognized methodologies to simulate real-world attacks safely and effectively.
Why does CREST Accreditation Matter?
For regulated and risk-sensitive organizations, CREST accreditation is a mark of quality and independent validation. It ensures testing is performed to the highest standards, giving leadership confidence that findings are accurate, actionable, and aligned with compliance frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and HIPAA.
Who is CREST Certified Penetration Testing Services For?
This service is designed for security, compliance, and IT leadership teams who need reliable insights into their security posture, want to reduce risk, and require testing that meets strict regulatory or contractual obligations.

Tevora’s CREST Penetration Testing Methodology
Scope Identification: Define systems, applications, and networks in scope
Object Identification: Team discusses and agrees on main objectives to testing. Expected security model of the target and high impact compromises of the model are identified.
Level of Access Determination: Decide if credentials are to be provided for testing.
Gathering of Documentation: Can be a zero-knowledge approach that can be gathered during reconnaissance.
Passive Reconnaissance: Collect publicly available intelligence without interacting with target systems (DNS records, breach data, public repositories, domain exposure).
Semi-Passive Reconnaissance: Analyze external infrastructure and metadata with minimal footprint to avoid detection while validating exposure.
Active Reconnaissance: Direct engagement with in-scope assets to enumerate hosts, services, and configurations in a controlled manner
Asset Identification & Categorization: Inventory and classify critical systems, data stores, applications, and access points
Threat Community Alignment: Map assets to relevant threat actors and attack patterns based on industry, geography, and risk profile
Objective Cross-Referencing: Align identified threats to core testing objectives to ensure meaningful, risk-driven assessment
Public Artifact Review: Examine public documents, archived content, repositories, and historical records for exposed vulnerability signatures
Vulnerability Enumeration: Conduct targeted scanning to identify known weaknesses across in-scope systems
Validation & Prioritization: Confirm findings, eliminate false positives, and prioritize vulnerabilities for controlled exploitation
Threat Map Alignment: Evaluate validated vulnerabilities against the threat map to determine realistic risk, business impact, and attack likelihood
Executive Summary: Clear overview for leadership
Findings Overview: Testing results and effective remediation recommendations
Technical Summary: Findings are scored based on prioritized vulnerabilities
