The company offers comprehensive security assessments, focusing on application and network security, with a strong emphasis on high-quality, specialized services.

Adversify is a CREST-accredited boutique cyber security consultancy, founded in 2022. We specialise in penetration testing and offensive security services, helping organisations uncover vulnerabilities and attack paths before real adversaries do. Our bespoke process to scoping means no two engagements are the same. Through our process, we work with you to identify key attack surfaces and build a robust scope documenting the proposed security testing strategy. This process is extremely flexible making our offensive security testing accessible to all both small and large organisations alike. While traditional penetration testing provides valuable baseline coverage, Adversify enhances this with our attack surface-led methodology to deliver wider and more targeted insights. By incorporating the entire attack surface within the penetration test scope, it provides holistic coverage that aligns more closely with how real-world attackers operate. This approach ensures that no critical exposure is overlooked simply because it falls outside a predefined technology silo, ultimately delivering more actionable, relevant, and risk-prioritised results. When it comes to protecting your organisation, don't assume. Test.

CREST Cybersecurity Certification


Origin


CREST (Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers) was established in 2006 in the United Kingdom by a group of cybersecurity professionals and industry representatives. It was created to address the growing need for standardized, recognized qualifications in penetration testing and cybersecurity services. The organization emerged from concerns about the quality and professionalism of security testing services, aiming to provide a framework that would certify both individual practitioners and the companies that employ them.


Industry Value


CREST certifications are highly valued in the cybersecurity industry because they demonstrate a practitioner's technical competence and adherence to professional ethical standards. Many government agencies, financial institutions, and large corporations specifically require CREST-certified professionals when procuring penetration testing or security assessment services. The certification provides assurance to employers and clients that certified individuals have been independently verified to possess the necessary skills and knowledge, and that they follow established codes of conduct. This makes CREST credentials particularly important for cybersecurity professionals working in regulated industries or seeking to work with organizations that have stringent security requirements.
