About Smail

Looking for a pentester to identify your vulnerabilities before an attacker does? Or a DevSecOps profile to secure your pipelines and harden your infrastructure? I do both. Assistant CISO in digital health (health data, HDS hosting) and founder of ASFELIAS, I perform business impact-oriented penetration tests and support technical teams in securing their delivery chain. I regularly work in regulated environments where approximations are not an option: health, HDS, ISO 27001, GDPR.

Offensive Security & Auditing:

— Web & API Pentesting (OWASP, authentication, business logic)
— Network / Active Directory Pentesting
— Internal Pentesting (post-compromise, lateral movement)
— OSINT Exposure Audits (attack surface, leaks, public footprint)
— Bug Bounty (YesWeHack: IDOR, XSS, enumeration)

DevSecOps & Infrastructure:

— Linux Hardening (RHEL / AlmaLinux, SELinux) & Nginx / TLS
— Secure CI/CD Pipelines
— Infrastructure Automation (Ansible) & Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
— Containerization (Docker), Cloud (AWS), Kubernetes

Compliance & Governance:

— ISO 27001, GDPR, HDS, NIS2 Compliance
— Risk Analysis, Information Security Policies, Documentation

What sets me apart:

— Reporting prioritized by business impact, controlled PoCs, clear remediation plan, and re-test included
— Dual offensive + DevSecOps vision: I find vulnerabilities AND help fix them sustainably
— Field experience in regulated health sector (HDS): I understand your regulatory constraints
— Methodologies: PTES, OWASP, CVSS, MITRE ATT&CK
— Certifications in progress: ISO 27001 Lead Implementer, CKA, Terraform Associate, AWS Solutions Architect
