CSA Cyber’s SOC receives CREST accreditation

As of Wednesday 14th May 2025 CSA Cyber’s Security Operations Centre (SOC) services are accredited by CREST – the leading international cyber security industry membership body. This adds to the existing ASSURE, Penetration Testing, STAR Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Assessment accreditations it already possesses through CREST.

CREST accreditation is only available in specific cyber security disciplines, with prospective members undertaking a rigorous process covering their policies, processes, and competencies. CREST accreditation ensures that companies operate with robust governance and security controls, employ highly skilled and technically competent individuals, follow proven methodologies and best practices, and uphold high standards of data security and client protection.

“CSA Cyber has been providing cyber services since 2013” Managing Director Dave Woodfine remarked “I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished together. This landmark accreditation reinforces our mission to provide the highest standard of cyber defence, and it’s a promise to our clients that we will always go the extra mile to protect what matters most.”

In addition to being awarded CREST status for SOC, CSA Cyber’s commitment to providing a quality service for clients means they are also one of only a handful of UK companies that are part of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) community, who are approved to deliver Microsoft Sentinel/MXDR Services.

CSA Cyber’s combination of MISA and CREST accreditations across multiple service lines attest to the quality of their service delivery, through providing a combination of specialist expertise and comprehensive cyber security toolkit capabilities that is rare in the marketplace.
