ONSec accreditations & awards
ONSec's commitment to maintaining high standards are based on our commitment to maintain the highest standards within our industry.
The OSCP certification is one of the most respected credentials in the cybersecurity industry, renowned for its rigorous, hands-on examination process. Unlike traditional certifications, OSCP challenges candidates to demonstrate real-world penetration testing skills in a live, timed environment making it a true benchmark of technical capability.
Widely regarded as the gold standard for ethical hacking and offensive security, the OSCP is a strong indicator of practical expertise and a deep understanding of network and application exploitation.
ONSec hold IASME Cyber Assurance Level Two, the highest level of certification under the IASME framework. This prestigious certification combines robust cyber security standards with GDPR compliance and quality management principles.
Our Level Two status means that our security practices have been independently audited by qualified third-party assessors, providing verified assurance that ONSec operates to a high standard of information security and data protection across all areas of the business.
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification scheme, supported by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). It outlines five essential security controls that help organisations defend against common cyber threats.
Designed for businesses of all sizes, the scheme provides a clear, practical framework for improving cyber resilience and demonstrating your commitment to data protection.
Cyber Essentials Plus provides enhanced confidence by combining the standard online self-assessment with a technical audit of the in-scope systems. This audit verifies that the required controls are not only in place, but are also functioning effectively in a real-world environment.
The IASME Cyber Assurance standard was developed through a government-funded initiative aimed at creating a cost-effective, practical alternative to complex international cyber security frameworks.
Designed to be both affordable and achievable, it provides small and medium-sized organisations with a clear path to demonstrating strong cyber security governance and data protection practices.
