Bugcrowd Achieves Global CREST Accreditation, Expanding Trusted Penetration Testing Services Worldwide

Global Expansion includes Australia and Singapore, bolstered by Singapore CSA Pen Test License

SAN FRANCISCO, November 26, 2024 — Bugcrowd, the leader in crowdsourced cybersecurity, is thrilled to announce it has now achieved global CREST accreditation. This accomplishment follows Bugcrowd’s CREST accreditation in EMEA in 2022. This milestone enables Bugcrowd to offer CREST-accredited penetration testing services worldwide, including the United States, Australia, and Singapore. The addition of the Singapore Cybersecurity Agency (CSA) Penetration Testing License (PTS) further solidifies Bugcrowd’s commitment to delivering top-tier security solutions in the Asia-Pacific region.

CREST is an internationally recognized accreditation body that sets the benchmark for quality in the cybersecurity industry. Achieving CREST accreditation globally means Bugcrowd meets the highest standards in:

• Technical proficiency—Demonstrated expertise in delivering effective penetration testing services.
• Ethical practices—Adherence to strict codes of conduct and professional integrity.
• Quality assurance—Commitment to continual improvement and excellence in service delivery.

This accreditation assures clients that Bugcrowd’s services are performed by qualified professionals following industry best practices, providing an additional layer of trust and reliability.

With the global CREST accreditation and the Singapore CSA Penetration Testing License, Bugcrowd is well-positioned to support organizations in the U.S., Australia, and Singapore, allowing Bugcrowd to:

• Meet regional compliance requirements—Align with local regulations and standards for cybersecurity practices.
• Provide localized support—Offer services that consider regional threats and cultural nuances.
• Enhance global reach—Support multinational clients with consistent, high-quality services across different countries.

“This global accreditation is a significant achievement for Bugcrowd,” said Julian Brownlow Davies, Global Vice President of Advanced Services at Bugcrowd. “It not only validates the excellence of our penetration testing services, but also reinforces our commitment to providing trusted and reliable cybersecurity solutions globally. We’re excited to bring our unique, crowdsourced approach to more organizations around the world, helping them stay ahead of emerging threats.”
