Accreditations schemes and memberships.
Context is one of the few companies to be certified by NCSC#39;s Cyber Incident Response (CIR) scheme to help UK organisations respond effectively to cyber security attacks. It is aimed primarily at the public sector and the UKs critical national infrastructure as well as providing support to other parts of the private sector. The scheme is designed to give access to specialist knowledge and expertise with a high level of trust and quality-assurance.
Context is approved as an IASME Consortium licensed Certification Body for the Cyber Essentials Scheme. This Government backed scheme is a simple yet effective way for organisations to demonstrate their commitment to cyber security. Through the Assurance Framework it offers a mechanism for organisations to demonstrate to customers investors insurers and others that they have taken these essential precautions.
Context is a member of CREST which was created in response to the need for regulated and professional security testers to serve the global information security marketplace. CREST is a standards-based organisation for penetration test suppliers incorporating a best practice technical certification programme for individual consultants. Additionally CREST provides its members with a framework of guidance including standards methodologies and recommendations aimed at ensuring the very highest standards of leading-edge security testing.
Context is qualified to provide CREST Simulated Target Attack and Response (STAR) services. The assessments are primarily threat intelligence-led penetration tests and are considered to be the most realistic form of assurance service within the sector. STAR assessments allow Context to identify weaknesses that go beyond the technical vulnerabilities typically found in a penetration test and to assess an organisations overall capability to prevent detect and respond to a compromise.
Context is furthermore CREST accredited for the supply of Simulated Targeted Attack (STAR) Threat Intelligence services.
Context is proud be accredited as a both a CBEST Threat Intelligence and CBEST Penetration Testing supplier.
The Bank of England (BoE) developed CBEST as a framework to deliver controlled bespoke intelligence-led cyber security tests. These tests replicate the behaviours of those threat actors assessed by Government and commercial intelligence providers as posing a genuine threat to systemically important financial institutions. CBEST is the first initiative of its type to be led by any of the worlds central banks.
Context is a subscriber to the CESG CHECK Scheme at Green level. The CESG CHECK Scheme is the foundation of a special partnership between the Government and Industry that allows third parties to conduct security tests on Government networks. The scheme sets standards for both the member company and the individual consultant to ensure that the Government client receives a test of the appropriate standard. Whilst the Scheme was intended for Government use the public sector noticed the benefits of such a scheme and has often requested that any would-be suppliers are CHECK approved. Obviously a Government led scheme will not be absolutely ideal for the private sector and increasingly the CREST scheme is being adopted as the private sector standard.
