Capture The Bug Achieves CREST Penetration Testing Accreditation

Capture The Bug, a leading Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) platform, is proud to announce that it has successfully achieved CREST Penetration Testing accreditation.

This prestigious recognition underscores Capture The Bug’s commitment to delivering the highest standards of cybersecurity testing services across Australia and New Zealand, solidifying its position among an exclusive group of globally recognised providers.

CREST is an international, not-for-profit accreditation and certification body representing the global cybersecurity industry. CREST’s rigorous certification process assesses an organisation’s technical competence, business processes, data security practices, and testing methodologies to ensure providers deliver penetration testing services that meet internationally recognised standards.

“Achieving CREST accreditation marks a significant milestone for Capture The Bug,” said Ankita Dhakar, CEO of Capture The Bug. “It validates our commitment to delivering high-quality, standards-driven penetration testing and reinforces the trust our clients place in us. As businesses in Australia and New Zealand continue to operate in increasingly regulated environments, our PTaaS platform provides them with faster, continuous, and transparent testing services that meet globally recognised benchmarks.”

Nick Benson, CEO at CREST, said, “We are delighted to welcome Capture The Bug as a CREST-accredited Member for penetration testing. Capture The Bug’s accreditation reflects not only their expertise but also their dedication to helping clients navigate an increasingly complex cyber threat landscape with confidence.”
