Compass Security Description

Compass Security is a cybersecurity services firm headquartered in Rapperswil, Switzerland, with additional offices in Zurich, Bern, Basel, and Berlin. Founded in 1999, the company serves organizations across business, government, and research sectors, offering both offensive and defensive IT security services. On the offensive side, Compass Security conducts penetration tests targeting systems, applications, and processes; red team assessments that simulate targeted attacks; purple teaming exercises that bridge offensive and defensive functions; social engineering tests; and security reviews covering configurations, code, and system architecture. The company also operates a managed bug bounty program that connects client organizations with ethical hackers for continuous security testing. Defensive and operational services include Managed Detection & Response (MDR) providing 24/7 monitoring of IT infrastructure, and an Incident Response & Forensics practice that supports crisis management and post-incident analysis on a round-the-clock basis. Compass Security also offers security training and awareness programs aimed at employees and technical staff. In addition, the company operates two proprietary platforms: FileBox, a solution for secure exchange of sensitive data, and Hacking-Lab, a hands-on cybersecurity training platform used for exercises, Capture the Flag (CTF) competitions, and skills assessments. The company holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, CREST approval for its penetration testing services, and maintains memberships in FIRST (Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams) and TeleTrust (Bundesverband IT-Sicherheit e.V.).
