We are proud to announce that CGI’s UK Intelligence-led Security Operations Centre (SOC) has achieved CREST SOC accreditation, a significant milestone that adds to our CREST Certified credentials in Cyber Incident Response (CIR) and Penetration Testing (PT). This recognition further validates our hands-on approach, comprehensive services, and proven success in protecting our clients’ operations.
Achieving CREST SOC accreditation is more than a milestone; it is a mark of trust and operational excellence. It demonstrates that our SOC meets globally recognised standards for threat monitoring, incident response, and cyber governance, offering assurance that our methods are robust, repeatable, and ready for tomorrow’s threats.
A journey defined by rigor and collaboration
This was not a box-ticking exercise. The CREST accreditation process rigorously audited our technologies, processes, governance structures, threat intelligence capabilities, and analyst competencies. Our team, from cyber analysts to operations managers, came together to elevate standards and deepen client trust.
We embraced this scrutiny. Because at CGI, our mission is to ensure your business runs uninterrupted, no matter the complexity of the cyber threat landscape.
