FROM THE FIELD
What clients tell us
★★★★★
The report named the exploit path, the precondition and the exact fix. Our developers could reproduce each finding without asking a single follow-up question.
Head of Platform EngineeringSwiss insurer, Tier 1★★★★★
Scoping took one call and produced a target list we both signed. Nothing in the engagement drifted from it, and the retest told us precisely what was closed and what was not.

01 / Services
Attack with intent. Build with evidence.
01RED TEAM & ADVERSARY SIMULATION
Offensive Security
Red teaming and adversary simulations that test people, processes, and technology against realistic attack paths.
Fixed-scope starting points for security, regulated AI adoption, and measurable automation. Choose a package when your scope fits one system or one agent; choose the day rate when it does not. Both are confirmed in writing before work starts.
For organizations of different sizes and industries. Robert’s public CV documents Tier-1 banks, insurers and automotive clients, FINMA, DORA and TLPT environments: 100+ on-site engagements across 11 countries. References under NDA on request.
START WITH CLARITY
Security & AI Orientation
CHF 3’900
2 working days
Prioritize security risks and AI opportunities before committing to a larger assessment or build.
Attack one agent and its tool chain, then help harden the controls that contain real attack paths.
One AI agent with up to five MCP tools or integrations
Prompt injection, data exfiltration, privilege, and containment testing
Evidence report, remediation workshop, and one focused retest within 30 days of the initial debrief, using the client-supplied remediated build or configuration
Not included
Additional agents, tools, or production model training
Flexible engagements: CHF 2’200 per working day. Longer, clearly scoped remote projects: CHF 2’000–2’100. Short-notice OT, red-team, and high-security engagements: CHF 2’400–2’600, subject to scope. Package prices are fixed-scope equivalents at CHF 1’850–2’100 per working day; the day rate applies when the scope cannot be fixed in advance.
All package prices and day rates exclude applicable VAT and pre-approved travel and third-party costs, unless expressly included in the order form. Fixed-price packages apply within their stated scope. Scope, authorization, and start date are confirmed in writing before work begins. Regulatory mapping is technical, not legal advice. Savings and compliance outcomes are not guaranteed.
03 / Approach
Senior hands-on work, from scope to hardening.
A clear process before, during, and after the technical work. You always know what is in scope, what happens next, and which artifact you receive. Phases and deliverables depend on the selected package and written scope. Assessments recommend and verify client fixes; hands-on remediation or pilot implementation is included only when expressly scoped.
01
Scope and authorize
Clarify objectives, systems, data classification, constraints, and the result your team needs. A short confidential scoping call becomes a written target list, success criteria, and fixed or separately agreed scope. Before testing, the system owner then approves targets, roles, timing, evidence handling, and stop conditions.
Deliverables
Written scope, target inventory, and success criteria
Rules of engagement, authorization, and escalation contacts
Your responsibility Name a technical contact, confirm ownership, and provide the agreed accounts, roles, and environment access. No secrets or sensitive exploit details in the first enquiry.
02
Execute and explain
Test manually, research, or build hands-on, limited to the agreed scope with short checkpoints. AI-assisted work is verified by Robert before it becomes evidence. Findings and design decisions are then explained in business and technical terms, each with preconditions, reproducible evidence, impact, root cause, and a prioritized fix—without inflated severity.
Deliverables
Reproducible evidence log or working prototype
Executive summary, prioritized remediation backlog, and debrief
Your responsibility Answer technical questions, flag operational constraints early, and bring the people who can assess impact and implement fixes.
03
Harden and hand over
Review remediation and control changes together, then repeat the relevant test or evaluation. Results distinguish fixed, partially fixed, and open items, including residual risk. Finish with an operating guide, knowledge transfer, and next-step decisions; ongoing support is a separate, explicit scope.
Deliverables
Focused retest result and updated controls
Report, operating guidance, and handover session
Your responsibility Apply agreed fixes, provide the updated build or configuration, and confirm owners for the remaining actions.
One direct technical contact throughout. No black box, no junior handoff, and no sensitive details in the initial form.

Critical vulnerability research
Public disclosure of a critical WordPress Core vulnerability, grounded in reproducible technical research.
Safematix is founded and led by Robert Ressl, a Swiss security and AI systems engineer. His work spans Linux and cloud platforms, global offensive-security delivery, model engineering, and regulated production. You work directly with the person doing the technical work.
Willing to complete client background checks and to work under NDA before scoping.
Remote worldwide. Travel for on-site engagements by arrangement.
In Wollerau, Schwyz, Switzerland, with delivery worldwide.
Can we work remotely or on-site?
Both. Remote delivery is available worldwide, with travel for on-site needs by arrangement.
Are you open to deep background checks?
Yes. I am willing to complete client background checks and to work under NDA before scoping.
Do you cover both traditional and AI security?
Yes. Safematix combines offensive security and ethical hacking with model, agent, MCP, and inference expertise.
What happens after an enquiry?
I reply personally, usually within one business day (Mon–Fri, CET), to arrange a confidential scoping conversation. Do not send secrets or sensitive exploit details through the initial form.
07 / Contact
Bring the difficult problem.
Tell me what you need to test, secure, or build. No sensitive details at this stage.
