Become a Sponsor

In addition to our CHECK accreditation, we are are expanding the focus of our testing into Red Teaming and onto OT scenarios and beyond. In addition, we aim to help our sponsors to source, train and employ the next generation of cyber security professionals, enabling them to enter the industry ready for work, through our Cyber Challenge initiative.

After establishing our sponsorship scheme in 2022, we now have over 40 committed sponsors – all of which are actively involved in the provision of penetration testing services as well as many other specialisms (check our individual sponsor pages here for more information on each). From micro-businesses to multi-national companies, we have welcomed each as a contributor, and they have been invited to attend various workshops and planning sessions at our Assessment Centre, becoming actively involved in our ongoing initiatives. This collaborative approach is being noticed by the industry; collectively our voice is so much stronger – and The Cyber Scheme are committed to providing an objective, supportive opinion on behalf of our sponsors when legislating for change amongst official bodies.

We don’t ask for a financial commitment from our sponsors – in fact at most levels of sponsorship we can offer discounts on our CSTM and CSTL exams which are a huge benefit to companies processing multiple candidates. What we do ask for is a commitment of time, from 5-20 days per year from CTL-equivalent qualified members, which we use to help develop our ongoing projects. As the sponsorship scheme grows and matures, so too will the projects our sponsors will be asked to contribute to – and we will happily undertake initiatives brought to us by sponsors where we recognise the need for change.
