100% corruption to the core.
I'd imagine most pentest companies will be making the move to Tiger now.
CREST should be stripped of their abilities to offer any government approved contracts. This has been the worst kept secret in the industry. NCC staff were then caught out. The only people that were then penalised were NON NCC organisations as certification was put on hold meaning that ONLY NCC had the certified staff.
if you are a CREST company or a consumer of services write to your stakeholders, including the bank of England and ask them to work with an alternative.
