About Pentesting Providers

We're building a curated directory of legitimate penetration testing providers. The market is crowded with firms that lack proper accreditations, use automated scanners instead of manual testing, or deliver generic reports. We built this directory so buyers can find providers that meet real quality standards.

What Makes a Legitimate Provider

• Recognised accreditations, CREST, CHECK, CBEST, or equivalent certifications that require independent auditing.
• Qualified testers, team members holding OSCP, CREST CRT, CREST CCT, or similar hands-on certifications.
• Transparent methodology, a clear, documented approach to testing rather than black-box automation.
• Proven track record, verifiable client work, published case studies, or a strong reputation in the security community.

How We Score

Our scoring weights accreditations and team qualifications heavily because they represent verified, audited competence. Editorial scoring is determined solely by our methodology. Promoted listings are clearly labelled paid placements: they take a pinned position on a selected set of pages, but cannot influence the underlying editorial score of any provider.
