The managed bug bounty service from Compass Security provides us with key benefits:

Reduced workload for our team through professional program management
Focus on the most important risks, as only genuine vulnerabilities are reported
Structured reports that enable targeted remediation measures

The Compass Security team runs the programs with great expertise and makes a valuable contribution to the continuous improvement of our security processes.»

Feedback on our Incident Response and Forensics Services

Erik Dinkel

Customer Reference on our IT Security Trainings

Christoph Monigadon

CISO/CSO at Visana Services AG, Bern

«Modern cyber-attacks exploit not only technical but also organizational vulnerabilities, including aspects of physical security and human behavior. Only those who are aware of these attacks can counter them intelligently.

Compass Security's attractively designed awareness campaigns raise awareness of such attacks. The many real-life case studies inspire our employees, and my experience shows that they talk more openly about security issues after the training courses. They are more engaged with these issues and more committed to safe behavior in the workplace.

With these sustainable awareness measures, we are creating a strong security culture within the company.»
