Tevora Achieves CREST Accreditation, Demonstrating Penetration Testing Service Expertise
June 9, 2025 – Tevora, a leading cybersecurity and compliance consulting firm, today announced that it has achieved CREST Accreditation for Penetration Testing services. This achievement demonstrates Tevora’s commitment to providing the highest quality cybersecurity services, adhering to rigorous industry standards, and employing highly skilled professionals.
CREST is a globally recognized accreditation body for the technical information security industry. Achieving CREST accreditation signifies that Tevora has met CREST’s demanding standards for penetration testing, incident response, and other cybersecurity services.
“Tevora is dedicated to providing our clients with the most effective and reliable cybersecurity solutions,” said Clayton Riness, Principal of Tevora. “Achieving CREST accreditation validates our expertise and commitment to excellence. This accreditation assures our clients that they are working with a trusted partner who adheres to the highest industry standards.”
Alignment with DORA
CREST accreditation positions Tevora to effectively support clients in meeting the requirements of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). While DORA does not mandate CREST accreditation, firms choosing CREST-accredited partners will be well-prepared to achieve their DORA compliance obligations. Tevora’s CREST accreditation demonstrates its readiness to meet the cybersecurity needs of EU customers and US firms with EU clients.
Wide-Reaching Penetration Testing Approach
Tevora boasts an expert penetration testing practice, which provides a variety of penetration testing services ranging from network and application penetration testing to collaborative purple teaming exercises and more.
“As clients’ needs change, our team adapts and develops new approaches,” says Riness. “For example, as clients experiment with AI, they need someone to test their new attack surfaces. Our team has had the opportunity to test and perfect our AI penetration testing approach, so we can help our clients in this capacity.”
While the team continues to push the boundaries of innovation, clients also see the need to return, back to basics.
“We’ve noticed an uptick in clients requesting on-site or physical penetration tests,” says Sr. Director of Threat Services, Kevin Dick. “As companies have returned back to in-office environments over the last couple of years, especially with a younger workforce that has never experienced an office culture, clients are reconsidering on-site security.”
