Claranet

Claranet is a European managed services and cybersecurity provider headquartered in London, United Kingdom, offering CREST and CHECK-accredited penetration testing services as part of their broader managed hosting and cloud services portfolio. Founded in 1996, Claranet has grown into a significant European technology services company with operations across the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and other markets.

Their cybersecurity division, operating under the Claranet Cyber Security brand, provides penetration testing services including web application testing, infrastructure testing, mobile testing, API testing, and red team engagements. Claranet's unique advantage is their deep understanding of the infrastructure their clients run on, since many also use Claranet's hosting and cloud services, enabling their testers to provide more contextual and actionable findings.

The company holds both CREST and CHECK accreditations, making them approved to test UK government systems. Their methodology follows OWASP, PTES, and CREST standards, and their consultants hold OSCP, CREST CRT, and CEH certifications among others. Claranet serves mid-market and enterprise organizations across a range of industries, with particular strength in retail, healthcare, and financial services sectors.
