CREST Accredited: Why it matters when choosing a cybersecurity partner

Intercity is now CREST Pathway Accredited. Learn why CREST matters, what it means for your business, and how to choose a cybersecurity partner you can trust.

Intercity is now a CREST pathway accredited cybersecurity provider.

We pursued CREST Accreditation to give our customers independent proof that we meet the highest standards in cyber services, not just in principle, but in practice.

This blog explains what CREST is, why it matters, and what it means when you’re choosing a cybersecurity partner you can actually trust.

Why we did it.

We didn’t wait to be told to raise the bar. We went straight to CREST and said, “Test us.”

Why? Because our customers deserve more than good intentions. They deserve proof that their cybersecurity partner can stand up to scrutiny and keep their business protected when it really counts.

Now we’re officially CREST Pathway Accredited, recognised by one of the most respected cybersecurity bodies in the world. Beyond the badge, it’s a commitment. To structure. To accountability. To doing things properly.

What is CREST?

CREST stands for Council for Registered Ethical Security Testers. It’s the international benchmark for cybersecurity providers, and an independent body that digs into how an organisation is built, supported and managed behind the scenes.

To gain CREST Pathway Accreditation, we had to show our workings. That our people, processes and delivery model are robust, scalable and secure. 

What it means for our customers

CREST gives our customers something that’s hard to find in this industry: certainty.

• You get the reassurance of independent validation
• You get confidence that best practice isn’t optional – it’s baked in
• You get clarity that the people doing the work are trained, accountable and supported

There are too many providers talking about trust without proving it. CREST changes that. By holding organisations to high, ongoing standards. From how we train people to how we handle incidents. That means:

• Oversight you can rely on, with no cutting corners
• Support that scales with your risk
• Long-term resilience, not quick fixes or reactionary work
• It’s cybersecurity with backbone. Exactly what’s needed when the pressure’s on.
