What is CREST?

This comprehensive approach ensures that certified organizations deliver reliable and effective security assessments.

At TAC Security, we remain relentless in our pursuit of excellence, ensuring our clients benefit from cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions that are both advanced and dependable.”

Growing Demand for Penetration Testing

The global penetration testing market is experiencing significant growth, driven by an increasing number of cyber threats and the widespread adoption of cybersecurity measures across various industries. According to market research, the penetration testing market size was valued at approximately USD 1.8 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 4.5 billion by 2028, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2%. This growth is fueled by the escalating need for robust security solutions to safeguard sensitive data and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

TAC Security: A Leader in Cybersecurity Certifications

TAC Security holds several prestigious certifications and accreditations, including CREST PT Accreditation for Penetration Testing services and the ISO 17025 Certification.
