Regulatory and Compliance Testing
Regulatory compliance testing is mandatory. Sub-standard testing isn’t an option.
You deserve to be secured by experts who understand exactly how attackers think and strike.
Contact us to discuss your testing requirements.
Your business is regulated. Your threats aren’t.
As a leader in a regulated sector, compliance is critical, and resilience is survival. You’re safeguarding your organization’s credibility, operational integrity, and resilience against relentless threats.
Legacy providers deliver predictable compliance exercises that check boxes, but leave critical gaps. Too often, tests are detached from the reality of today’s cyber threats, and fail to reflect the ruthless pace of genuine attackers.
You need testing that satisfies regulators, but that’s the baseline, not the target. Success comes when this testing also strengthens your defenses.
Our regulatory testing services deliver the certified outcomes you need to stay compliant, verified against some of the strictest cybersecurity standards in the world.

The one where compliance wasn’t enough
Compliance was not enough. The swarm revealed real risks and helped a global financial institution evolve its defenses.
There’s compliance, and there’s compliance.
We understand regulated sectors intimately. Our approach is modern, transparent, and precisely aligned with your regulatory expectations.
Of course, we’re a CREST-accredited offensive security team, and specialists in STAR-FS and CBEST. We also build and deliver bespoke threat-led simulations for firms outside of these frameworks.
But if every cybersecurity firm follows the same regulatory framework, where’s the difference? In the execution.
CovertSwarm delivers faster results, deeper industry expertise, clearer feedback, and multi-layered guidance to help you engage your stakeholders effectively.
We turn your standard regulatory tests into strategic opportunities to build genuine, lasting security resilience – not just compliance exercises.
