Penetration Testing

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Hands-on testing of your web, mobile, API, network, or cloud systems by an experienced tester who verifies every finding and chains weaknesses into real, demonstrable impact.

Security Assessment & Gap Analysis

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A structured review of your security posture against a recognised framework, producing a prioritised roadmap rather than a single point-in-time test.

Phishing Simulation

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Controlled, realistic phishing campaigns that measure how your organisation responds — click rates, credential entry, and crucially, reporting rates — without blaming individuals.

Security Awareness Training

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Role-relevant training that changes behaviour — short, practical sessions for general staff plus deep-dives for developers, admins, and executives.

Red Teaming

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

An objective-based adversary simulation across technology, people, and physical controls — testing not just whether you can be breached, but whether your blue team detects and responds.

Infrastructure Hardening

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Hands-on hardening of your cloud accounts, identity provider, endpoints, and network — turning benchmark guidance into applied, tested configuration change.

About SpectrumSec

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Who we are

SpectrumSec is an EU-based offensive security consultancy.

The company was founded in 2024 on a simple principle: that serious security work is defined by the quality of its execution, not the size of the team behind it.

The beginning set the standard. A contract in a high-stakes, high-clearance environment where mistakes were not an option and pressure was constant — the kind of work that demands rigor, discipline and the ability to stay sharp when the stakes are real. That standard has carried through to every engagement since.
