Certifications
This isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s advanced offensive security, executed with the precision, discipline, and intent of a real adversary.
CovertSwarm is one of the few red teams in the world accredited to deliver both STAR-FS and CBEST: the most advanced threat intelligence-led frameworks available.
CBEST
CovertSwarm is accredited by CREST to deliver CBEST TLPT assessments, the UK’s financial-sector standard for threat intelligence-led security testing.
Our red team uses an intelligence led approach to emulate advanced persistent threat actors across all attack vectors to assess cyber resilience under realistic conditions.
Contact us to discuss your CBEST requirements.
STAR-FS
A specialized CREST framework developed explicitly for financial services institutions. Designed to simulate realistic, targeted cyber-attacks, STAR-FS uses threat intelligence to replicate genuine adversarial tactics, techniques, and procedures.
As one of a select group of accredited STAR-FS vendors, CovertSwarm delivers engagements that precisely align to all regulatory requirements. We structure in clear phases, work transparently with your teams and deliver comprehensive actionable reporting designed for multiple levels of stakeholders.
Our highly experienced red teams use cutting-edge approaches and methodologies to replicate real-world attacks, ensuring your defenses do more than just meet a standard. They empower you to stand firm against evolving threats.
ISO 27001
The global standard for information security management. It demonstrates data integrity, clear accountability, and risk ownership.
As a certified ISO 27001 organization, CovertSwarm applies those same principles to everything we do. Our internal governance, risk management, and operational security are independently assessed, ensuring your engagement with us adds no additional compliance burden or regulatory stress.
ISO 27001 is a demonstration of our commitment to information security and risk mitigation. We hold ourselves to the same exacting standards we’ll be holding you to.
