LONDON 25th July 2024 - Stott and May Consulting announces their partnership with CREST International, a not-for-profit membership body representing the global cyber security industry.
The partnership brings together the esteemed global membership body, whose goal is to champion a secure digital world through quality assurance and professional certifications in cyber security, with the leading consulting firm committed to revolutionising how businesses navigate technology transformation.
Both organisations understand that neurodiversity is a critically important topic for the cyber security industry, which is undergoing rapid change, with a strong commitment to fostering greater diversity, equity, and inclusion within the CREST company culture.
Nick Benson, CREST CEO says:
"We have made significant strides in our outward-facing neurodiversity initiatives and have produced a number of guides that focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion that we have made available publicly on the CREST website. Stott and May will support our ongoing efforts to drive the public dialogue on neurodiversity in cyber but our partnership will also help CREST as an organisation show leadership in this space. By combining our expertise and resources, we will be well-equipped to continue to push boundaries in cyber security, drive positive change, and create a more inclusive and empowering workplace for all."
Stott and May Consulting’s innovative, accredited programme will provide a distinctive blend of tailored classroom learning, personalised 1-2-1 coaching, and cutting-edge online modules. This comprehensive approach will empower leaders at CREST to further their neuroinclusion strategy, optimising critical touchpoints across the employee lifecycle. Through the partnership, CREST aims to drive transformative impact, bridging the gap between cyber security expertise and inclusive practices while advancing its mission of building a more inclusive and secure digital landscape.
