The pentesting quality mark
CCV certification: the tester gets tested
If you test the cyber security of other organisations, you will want your clients to know that you are a professional organisation. The pentesting quality mark shows the expertise and security your organisation has to offer. DEKRA audits organisations 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. Organisations can have pentesting done to test their digital systems and put measures in place to protect themselves against cyber crime. Fortunately, most companies check the reliability of their IT specialists before allowing them to try to legally hack their digital systems. The pentesting quality mark enables you to demonstrate the reliability of your organisation.
The benefits of the pentesting quality mark
If you have the CCV pentesting quality mark, your clients will know that you are a professional cyber security organisation.
The CCV pentesting quality mark reduces clients’ risk of failure. A failure could occur if pentesting is not of the quality required.
The CCV pentesting quality mark gives you an advantage over your competitors.
Certification with the pentesting quality mark
The pentesting quality mark shows that your organisation’s employees are qualified and reliable. It also shows that your organisation carries out cyber security tests in a reliable and professional manner. This gives your clients peace of mind when they choose to have pentesting done by your organisation. DEKRA would be pleased to audit your organisation. If you are awarded the quality mark, DEKRA will re-audit you on an annual basis to confirm that you are still meeting all the relevant requirements. Did you know that you can also combine the pentesting quality mark with ISO 27001 or ISO 9001? DEKRA can arrange this combined certification for you as well.
