Back to original languageAbout François
Hello, I'm François - a cybersecurity expert with 5 years of experience in a major consulting firm, now available as a freelance **full-remote**.
🛡️ Cyber Consulting & Support
I support organizations in their overall security posture: NIS2/DORA compliance, building Security Champion programs, governance and security policies, **cyber risk management**, team awareness, and audit preparation. I work with both CIOs and CISOs, as well as executive committees - I know how to translate technical details into strategic decisions.
What I cover concretely: NIS2 · DORA · ISO 27001 · Security Champion · Threat Modeling · Risk Management · Remediation Plan · Security Architecture Review
⚔️ Pentest & Red Team
Web, infrastructure, and Active Directory penetration tests. Realistic attack simulations, actionable reports for both technical teams and management. I intervene on targeted scopes as well as on complete red team campaigns with adversarial scenarios.
🤖 AI applied to security
Benchmark and evaluation of automated pentest tools, prompt engineering for reconnaissance and exploitation, integration of LLMs into offensive and defensive workflows. This is a niche area - I explore it in production, not in theory.
💻 Development
I develop custom cyber tools and web applications (Next.js · FastAPI · Python · PostgreSQL). Security task automation, monitoring dashboards, SaaS platforms.
