About us

No hightech startup is complete without a company sweater...
Our purpose
Software is getting more complex, the amount of criminal hackers is growing, and automatic tools for software engineers are just not good enough. Human software security experts are irreplaceable, but could use a hand.
Our purpose is to make the digital world a safer place. And our mission supports that: to build a review environment that is loved by security analysts worldwide.
Our expertise
Decades of (ethical) hacking experience are the basis of our security methodology and our review environment. Since 2020 we are compiling all our knowledge in our review environment. Which apparently makes customers happy:
