CREST-Aligned VAPT for UK SaaS, Fintech & Enterprise - NCSC, Cyber Essentials Plus & FCA Ready

Praxis-Q delivers CREST-aligned penetration testing and VAPT for UK organisations - web apps, APIs, cloud, internal and external networks and mobile. Testing follows the OWASP Testing Guide, CREST and NCSC CHECK principles and produces evidence for Cyber Essentials Plus, FCA PS21/3 operational resilience, UK GDPR Article 32 and PCI DSS v4 Requirement 11.4, with a remediation-ready report and free re-test.

Cyber Essentials Plus requires an independent external vulnerability scan as part of certification, and the April 2026 scheme update tightened how that testing is scoped and reported — no more selectively patching just the sampled devices after the fact. Praxis-Q's penetration testing covers network, web application and mobile targets and is scoped to satisfy Cyber Essentials Plus evidence requirements directly.

The Problem

UK buyers and regulators now expect it - Cyber Essentials Plus, FCA operational resilience (PS21/3), UK GDPR and PCI DSS v4 all assume regular penetration testing. Skip it and deals stall in security review or you find the gaps after an incident.
