Socura achieves accreditation from CREST for its Security Operations Centre
To independently demonstrate the quality of its Security Operations Centre (SOC) operations, Socura has undertaken and successfully passed the CREST SOC Accreditation. CREST is an international not-for-profit accreditation and certification body in information security and the CREST SOC Provider Accreditation scheme helps the buying community to understand how SOCs work and by defining the key criteria required to deliver an effective service, purchasers can differentiate potential providers.
The CREST SOC Accreditation process involved an in-depth review of the operating processes of Socura’s 24/7 SOC, which delivers monitoring and protection of its customer base, including FTSE 250 companies and critical health infrastructure.
The accreditation process reviews the technologies selected, the threat intelligence and context available, and the ability of the Socura team to bring this together to deliver a robust threat detection and response service to protect its customers operating capabilities.
“With the ever-increasing threat to organisations posed by cyber attack it is imperative that clients have a way of verifying the partner they select to help protect their infrastructure can deliver. That’s why we chose to undergo the CREST SOC Accreditation scheme, demonstrating that the service we offer is recognised on the global stage as meeting the highest standards. ” Andrew Kays, CEO at Socura
