01
Mature defences, honest test
EDR everywhere, a working SOC, a clean pentest. You still want to know how far an attacker already inside could get and which telemetry would catch them.
Consulereit · Independent cybersecurity
Offensive security
and advisory,
delivered by one consultant.
Independent senior cybersecurity consultant in the Netherlands. I work with boards, CISOs, and security teams on offensive testing, architecture reviews, and SOC design — in defence, critical infrastructure, healthcare, and industry.
What I do
Three ways
engagements usually start.
01
Penetration testing & red team
Web, infrastructure, cloud, and mobile pentests, plus assumed-breach red team operations. Modelled on real adversary behaviour, not a checklist.

02
Security architecture & advisory
Architecture and programme reviews: how your environment is put together, where it is brittle, and what to change first. Delivered as written recommendations.

03
SOC design & build
Design or rationalise an in-house security operations capability: detection coverage, tooling, staffing model. Vendor-neutral, with a three-year horizon.

Why independent
One consultant,
start to finish.
With a large consultancy, you meet the senior people in the pitch and work with junior staff in delivery. Here, you get the person you met.
No sales-to-delivery handoff, no partner overhead. The person scoping your engagement is the person doing the technical work and presenting to your board.
Scenarios
Situations I commonly help with.

02
Six tools, one renewal cycle
Overlapping SOC tools and a seven-figure renewal coming up. You want an independent view of what each tool earns its keep doing before you sign for another three years.
03
Connected product, never tested
An IoT or OT-adjacent environment has never had an honest external test. The team wants findings they can fix, not a stack of CVSS numbers.
Start with a short call.
Most engagements begin with a 30-minute conversation. If I am not the right fit, I will say so and point you to someone who is.
