RAPID7 EARNS CREST CERTIFICATION FOR PENETRATION TESTING SERVICES
Leader in Security Data and Analytics Solutions and Services Approved for Delivery of Ethical Penetration Testing Services in the UK
Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ: RPD), a leading provider of security data and analytics solutions, has been awarded CREST membership, which recognizes the consistently high standard of service provided by Rapid7. Specifically, Rapid7 was approved for the delivery of penetration testing services, a cornerstone of the Rapid7 Global Services portfolio.
The Company’s penetration testing team performs rigorous assessments to demonstrate the security level of an organisation’s key systems and infrastructure, including network, application, mobile, wireless, device, and social engineering assessments. The process identifies and clearly documents the risks posed to an organisation from the perspective of a motivated and skilled attacker.
“Penetration testing is a critical component to any comprehensive IT security program, and Rapid7 is very proud of the work our team executes in this sector,” said Rob Attree, EMEA director of sales at Rapid7. “CREST’s commitment to ensuring that organisations adhere to quality processes, delivered by competent and knowledgeable staff is one we take seriously. We’re proud that they found our offering meets its challenging standards and excited by the opportunities the certification will bring.”
CREST works to provide organisations with confidence that they’re hiring qualified individuals with up-to-date knowledge, skills and competence of the latest vulnerabilities and techniques used by real attackers. CREST membership also indicates that penetration testers are supported by a company with appropriate policies, processes and procedures for conducting this type of work and for the protection of client information.

They regularly conduct independent research to uncover new vulnerabilities and exploitation tactics. Their research has helped countless security professionals learn how to improve their security posture against the latest threats, and has been presented at conferences around the world.
