If you test the cybersecurity of other organizations, you will want your clients to know that you are a professional organization. The CCV pentesting quality mark shows the expertise and security your organization has to offer. DEKRA audits organizations according to the certification scheme of the Centre for Crime Prevention and Safety (Centrum voor Criminaliteitspreventie en Veiligheid (CCV)). It enables us to decide whether or not you are eligible for the CCV pentesting quality mark.
What is a pentest?
Pentesting (otherwise known as ‘penetration testing’) exposes the weaknesses in digital systems. Organizations can have pentesting done to test their digital systems on information security and put measures in place to protect themselves against cyber crime. Fortunately, most companies have their cyber resilience checked by IT specialists. They are the ones who try to hack digital systems in a legal manner. The CCV pentesting quality mark enables you to demonstrate the reliability of your organization.
What is the CCV pentesting quality mark?
The CCV pentesting quality mark is a certification that demonstrates that an organization meets strict requirements in the area of pentesting, or testing digital systems for vulnerabilities. The CCV pentesting quality mark was developed by the Center for Crime Prevention and Safety (CCV) to give clients the assurance that they are working with a reliable and knowledgeable cybersecurity partner. With the CCV pentesting quality mark, organizations can show that their pentests are performed professionally, securely and according to applicable standards.
What are the benefits of the CCV pentesting quality mark?
- A reduced risk of failure: The CCV pentesting quality mark reduces clients’ risk of failure. A failure could occur if pentesting is not of the quality required.
- Support with compliance and governance: The structural approach to vulnerabilities supports organizations in complying with legal and regulatory requirements and helps managers keep digital risks under control.
- Quality guaranteed for clients: If you have the CCV pentesting quality mark, your clients will know that you are a professional cybersecurity organization.
- Improvement of security measures: Findings from CCV pentests are translated into concrete improvement actions.
Certification with the CCV pentesting quality mark
With the CCV pentesting quality mark, you demonstrate that your organization has qualified and reliable employees. You also show that your organization conducts cybersecurity tests in a reliable and professional manner. This directly contributes to reducing vulnerabilities and increasing the digital resilience of systems and applications.
This gives your clients peace of mind when they choose to have pentesting done by your organization. DEKRA would be pleased to audit your organization, which includes assessing whether findings are demonstrably followed up and improvement measures are structurally embedded. After obtaining the CCV pentesting quality mark, your organization will be audited annually to ensure continued compliance with the requirements.
Did you know that you can also combine the CCV pentesting quality mark with ISO 27001 or ISO 9001? DEKRA can arrange this combined certification for you as well. A free baseline measurement can provide insight into your current working methods and the steps towards certification. On this page, you will find an overview of all standards and quality labels for which we can perform audits.
