“We are delighted to welcome Pentest People as a CREST member company,” said Ian Glover, President of CREST. “To become a CREST member, companies go through a very demanding assessment process that examines test methodologies, legal and regulatory requirements, data protection standards, logging and auditing, internal and external communications with stakeholders and how test data security is maintained.
