In addition to his diploma in information management and his master's in security management, he holds several recognised security certificates, such as CISSP, CISM, TISP and OSCP.

Penetration Testing

Since 2013, we have been conducting professional penetration tests. All engagements are performed in accordance with international standards and backed by years of operational experience in penetration testing, red teaming, and offensive security. Originally rooted in the payment, finance, and banking sector, we bring extensive experience in highly regulated and security-critical environments.

As a specialized provider for professional penetration testing, we clearly distinguish between vulnerability scans and actual penetration testing. Tools are used selectively and interpreted within a clear methodology. However, decisive insights usually result from structured manual identification and analysis. We identify technical and business-critical weaknesses and subsequently assess them in a structured way based on their real-world risk. Looking for a professionally conducted penetration test with traceable results? Then binsec is your partner.
