CybaVerse Achieves NCSC & CREST IR Certifications

We’re proud to announce that we have officially been certified for NCSC Cyber Incident Response Level 2 and CREST Cyber Security Incident Response (CSIR). This achievement marks a major milestone, reinforcing our ability to deliver world-class incident response services and ensuring our clients receive the highest standard of cyber security expertise.

Why These Certifications Matter

With the unprecedented rise in cyber threats – including ransomware, business email compromise, and supply chain attacks – organisations need a trusted partner to guide them through incidents. These certifications validate CybaVerse as a provider of expert, compliant, and rapid incident response, giving businesses confidence that they ‘re in safe hands.

What Do These Certifications Mean?

NCSC Cyber Incident Response Level 2

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) Cyber Incident Response Level 2 certification is a Government-backed standard, confirming our expertise in assisting organisations with managing and mitigating cyber incidents. This certification strengthens our reputation in supporting businesses and organisations that face serious security challenges.

CREST Cyber Security Incident Response (CSIR)

We have also earned the CREST Cyber Security Incident Response (CSIR) certification, a globally recognised mark of excellence. CREST’s assessment process ensures that our approach, methodologies, and expertise align with the highest industry standards, highlighting our ability to respond effectively to cyber threats.

A Word from our CTO

Speaking on this achievement, Juliette Hudson, our CTO, said:

With the rise of cyber threats and the rapid pace in which they can emerge, organisations need a trusted partner to guide them through cyber incidents and strengthen their security posture and these certifications reaffirm our ability to do just that."

Enhancing the Value of These Certifications for Clients

These certifications aren’t just badges, they open new opportunities for our customers by establishing CybaVerse as a trusted, certified incident response provider. Here’s how they can help make a real difference:

• Approved to Support Regulated Industries – Many industries, including finance, legal, healthcare, and government suppliers, require businesses to work with certified cyber security providers. With NCSC Cyber Incident Response Level 2 and CREST CSIR certification, CybaVerse is now recognised as a trusted incident response provider for organisations operating under strict regulatory requirements.
• Access to Higher-Level Incident Response Services – These certifications allow us to offer a more structured and effective incident response based on industry-recognised best practices. Clients benefit from:
• - Faster containment and recovery using standardised, approved methodologies.
• - Forensic investigation and threat analysis that meet compliance and legal standards.
• - Expert guidance on cyber resilience, helping organisations strengthen their defences after an incident.
• Stronger Compliance & Cyber Insurance Benefits – Many regulators and cyber insurers require businesses to work with certified security providers when responding to cyber incidents. By partnering with CybaVerse, clients can demonstrate they are taking security seriously, potentially reducing liability and improving their standing with insurers.

The Cost of Unpreparedness

Cyber incidents can escalate quickly, and without a certified response team in place, organisations risk longer downtimes, increased financial losses, and reputational damage. Being prepared today could mean the difference between a quick recovery and a crisis tomorrow.
