As a Senior Pentesting Expert, Cyber Security Consultant, and certified IT Security Auditor for ISO 27001, TISAX, and BSI Basic Protection, I support companies in taking their IT security to the next level in a practical, efficient, and measurable way.
My Focus Areas:
Penetration Tests & Ethical Hacking: Building and leading pentesting teams, conducting security reviews at web, network, and system levels, identifying critical vulnerabilities, and providing practical recommendations for risk mitigation.
Cyber Security Consulting: Advising on ISMS, security strategies, best practices, and supporting ISO 27001, TISAX, and BSI Basic Protection certifications.
Security Awareness & Training: Designing and conducting training sessions to enhance security awareness and minimize social engineering risks.
Certification & Compliance: Assisting with audit preparation, implementing measures, establishing Business Continuity Management, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
I work with companies of all sizes – from tech startups and medium-sized businesses to large software and automotive corporations – combining deep technical expertise with strategic consulting. My focus is on ensuring that security measures are practical, implementable, and measurable.
My projects deliver concrete added value: action recommendations, risk analyses, and tailor-made security solutions that can be directly integrated into daily business operations.
If you are looking for a Senior Security Consultant who combines pentesting with audit and compliance expertise, I will support you in improving your security, reducing risks, and successfully achieving certifications – efficiently, professionally, and practically.
Contact me to jointly create a secure, robust, and compliant IT landscape for your company.
