Context is a subscriber to the CESG CHECK Scheme at Green level.
The CESG CHECK Scheme is the foundation of a special partnership between the Government and Industry that allows third parties to conduct security tests on Government networks. The scheme sets standards for both the member company and the individual consultant to ensure that the Government client receives a test of the appropriate standard.
Whilst the Scheme was intended for Government use, the public sector noticed the benefits of such a scheme and has often requested that any would-be suppliers are CHECK approved. Obviously a Government led scheme will not be absolutely ideal for the private sector and increasingly the CREST scheme is being adopted as the private sector standard.
