Qualification doesn’t help Crossword Cybersecurity

AIM-listed Crossword Cybersecurity (LON:CCS) has seen its share price drop by 4.16% to 460.02p (as of 10:50 GMT) as it announced new independent certifications. The CREST certification provides confidence that the company is able to properly run digital penetration tests.

Managing director Stuart Jubb commented: “It is an excellent achievement that Crossword have been recognised by CREST as a credible organisation in the penetration test service marketplace. This again highlights the high esteem in which our consultants are perceived throughout the cyber security community. Commercially, this will help the Company to retain existing clients and tap into a new pool of potential clients who require this accreditation to perform penetration test services. Via CREST, Crossword’s consultants will also benefit from being on the inside track of new opportunities and developments in technical information assurance, as well as having access to industry leading guidance, standards and opportunities to share and enhance their knowledge“.
