Florian Schüssler — Founder
To stop a breach, you have to understand the logic behind the attack. My professional journey began where cybersecurity meets real-world criminal investigation: at the Criminal Police Baden-Württemberg (Kriminalpolizei). As a Cybercrime Investigator, I spent years analyzing the aftermath of digital crimes, reconstructing complex attack paths, and profiling the motives of threat actors. This experience taught me that security is never just a technical challenge—it’s a psychological and physical one. I learned to see the world through the eyes of an adversary, focusing on the paths of least resistance that others often overlook. Transitioning to the private sector, I deepened this perspective through Red Teaming, Social Engineering, and Physical Assessments. My goal has always been to move beyond "checkbox compliance" and build true, battle-tested resilience. Along the way, I’ve backed this hands-on experience with advanced certifications, including OSCP, CRTO, CRTP, and CESE, particularly in high-stakes environments like Critical Infrastructure (KRITIS). The next step in this mission is Access Granted. I founded Access Granted to provide organizations with a partner that thinks like a real-world intruder. We combine technical precision with the investigative mindset I developed in law enforcement. Our focus is holistic: we don't just test your code; we test your people and your physical perimeters to ensure that your security strategy holds up when it actually matters. I believe that true resilience is built on transparency, expertise, and a deep understanding of the human factor. Think like an attacker, act as a partner.
