DigiFortex Secures CREST Accreditation, Advancing High-Assurance Cybersecurity for Global Enterprises
WILMINGTON, Del. & BANGALORE, India – March 30, 2026: DigiFortex, a cybersecurity and digital risk assurance company incorporated in the United States and India, today announced that it has achieved CREST accreditation for its penetration testing services — strengthening its position as a trusted partner for organizations operating in regulated and high-risk environments across the world.
CREST is globally recognized for setting rigorous standards in penetration testing, with strong adoption across mature markets including the United Kingdom, Singapore, Malaysia, the Netherlands, the United States, and India. This accreditation validates DigiFortex’s ability to deliver security testing aligned with the highest benchmarks for technical rigor, governance, and consistency.
“CREST accreditation confirms that DigiFortex meets recognised benchmarks for technical delivery, governance, and security testing — giving clients greater confidence in assessing their security posture,” said Nick Benson, CEO of CREST. “This reflects the level of assurance and quality we expect from our Members.”
“Cybersecurity today is defined by trust and accountability, not just detection,” said Founder & CEO Vijay Kumar. “CREST accreditation reflects our commitment to delivering independently validated security testing that enables organizations to operate with confidence in complex threat and regulatory environments.”
As enterprises expand across borders and navigate evolving regulatory expectations — from FCA-driven ecosystems in the UK to MAS-aligned frameworks in Singapore and compliance mandates across Europe and the United States — the need for standardized, high-assurance security validation continues to grow.
With CREST accreditation, DigiFortex is uniquely positioned to support organisations that require:
- Globally recognised, regulator-aligned testing
- Independent validation of security controls
- Consistent, repeatable methodologies
- Proven capability across jurisdictions
Beyond penetration testing, DigiFortex delivers an integrated cybersecurity portfolio, including Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) solutions, 24×7 Security Operations Centre (SOC) monitoring, data privacy and regulatory compliance (DPDPA, GDPR, CCPA), AI & LLM security and CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform).This integrated approach enables organizations to unify security testing, monitoring, and compliance into a scalable, enterprise-grade framework.
DigiFortex operates a global delivery model supported by expert teams across Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, and Pune, combining deep technical expertise with business-aligned risk insights. Its team brings experience from leading global institutions including Wharton, Kellogg, ISB, IIM, IIT, NIT, and IIIT, alongside globally recognized cybersecurity certifications.
DigiFortex’s innovation-led approach is reflected in its portfolio of 17 US patents with applicability across more than 170 countries, supported by ongoing engagement with global academic ecosystems including Stanford, Washington, and the London School of Economics (LSE).
As cyber and data risks become increasingly business-critical, DigiFortex is focused on enabling organizations to move beyond reactive defence toward provable, measurable cybersecurity assurance.
