News: InfoTrust Awarded CRN Fast50 Accolade
As a 3.5 year old business, this year is the first year we have been eligible to be considered for the “Fast Start” awards. It’s quite remarkable how far we have come as a business, from the fledgling startup that we were in 2014, to the business with some 330 customers and 20 staff that we are today.
During the last three years we have undergone more than one transformation, whether it be the implementation of new systems that change the way we work or the hiring of top talent to help propel our business to the next level – the journey to date has been fast, furious, fun and very rewarding.
What brings me the most satisfaction is when we speak to customers and hear about how valued our support and engagement is and also seeing team members advance and develop their careers with us.
The CRN Fast50 2017 recognises businesses that have achieved significant growth between FY14/15 and FY15/16. Therefore I’d like to call out some of the people that were with us throughout that period, who took a risk with a little-known startup and carved out successful careers within our business – to whom I am very grateful.
RJ Price, Muhammad Inam ul Haq, Ffrances Lawes and Liam Bourke. This core group were the beginning of what our business has become today and continue to amaze me with outstanding performances within our business and for our customers.
We have some exciting times ahead, with 5 new team members joining the ranks by January taking our team to 25, implementation of a new core system to improve automation of our backend and confirmation of some new partnerships that will deliver increased capability and value to our customers.
Thanks to CRN for the recognition – bring on 2018!

We’re excited to announce that last month InfoTrust achieved CREST certified status.
The Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers (CREST) is a non-profit organisation, which assesses and certifies that an individual or business is providing security assurance services of exemplary quality, with deep understanding and knowledge of the latest vulnerabilities and techniques used by real attackers.
Although we have employed CREST certified individuals for some time now, this is an exciting step for InfoTrust as it is an additional certification achieved by utilising best-practice methodologies and the highest standards of test hygiene and conduct.
