We’re thrilled to announce that Prism Infosec is now an accredited provider of STAR-FS (Simulated Targeted Attack & Response assessments for Financial Services), the threat-led penetration testing and red teaming framework launched by the Bank of England, PRA, and FCA this year for the UK finance sector.

The STAR-FS scheme represents a significant step forward in enhancing cyber resilience for financial institutions, providing an innovative approach to identifying and mitigating cyber risks through assessments that simulate real-world threats.
