IT Governance becomes a CREST member

ELY, UNITED KINGDOM, September 17, 2013 /EINPresswire.com/ -- IT Governance Ltd, the fast-growing cyber security services provider, has announced that the company has become a member of the Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers (CREST). It is also listed on the CREST website.

As a member company, IT Governance has been verified as meeting the rigorous standards mandated by CREST. Clients of IT Governance can rest assured in the knowledge that the work IT Governance provides will be carried out to rigorous standards by qualified and knowledgeable individuals.

Alan Calder, Founder and Executive Chairman of IT Governance, says, “We are delighted to become a CREST member. Our company has been long delivering penetration testing services through qualified pen testers to clients internationally. By becoming a CREST member, we can demonstrate better our credential to our clients.”

Calder adds, “What sets us apart from our competitors is the fact that we are independent of software providers and that our expertise goes beyond pen testing. This means that our clients can have access to a wider range of resources and knowledge should they need this.”

Penetration testing is a method of evaluating the security of a computer system or network by simulating an attack from malicious outsiders or malicious insiders. Pen testing should be conducted by a qualified and independent penetration testing expert, sometimes referred to as an ethical security tester.

Organisations should conduct pen testing regularly to identify vulnerabilities and ensure on a regular basis that the cyber controls are working.

IT Governance offers fixed-price penetration testing packages which can be purchased by contacting the IT Governance service centre team on telephone number +44 (0)845 070 1750 or by email to servicecentre@itgovernance.co.uk.
