What is CHECK penetration testing?

CHECK is an accreditation scheme created by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and endorsed by the UK government.  

It is used primarily to certify the cyber security experts working for government departments, public sector bodies, and other organisations considered a part of the UK’s Critical National Infrastructure (CNI).  

Penetration tests by CHECK-approved members use NCSC recognised methods.
