The person behind Pentesto

Used to build them.
Now I hack them instead.

Pentesto is run by one person. That's the entire premise.

Before I tested systems, I built them. I know the Friday shortcuts and the integrations that never got replaced. Then I moved into security, through one of the largest Nordic consultancies to one of the biggest names in pentesting.

A few hundred engagements later, I started my own. Pentesting should not be a luxury, and new ways of working should not wait for layers of approval. An agent does the heavy searching. I can put new models to work when they are needed.

That is Pentesto. I decide which findings hold up and sign the report with my name. I do not hand that responsibility to a machine.
