Splynter is vendor independent. That allows us to provide advice that is based on facts, not on sales figures.  We believe this independence is an important characteristic which is essential to realize our vision and maintain the high quality that our customers deserve.

At Splynter we want to empower people and encourage them to take full ownership over tasks that cross traditional role borders. Instead of labelling people as ‘security engineer’, ‘pen-tester’, or ‘security architect’, we truly believe passionate people can excel in technical matters and have architectural vision at the same time. Giving our people the opportunity to work at different layers keeps them intellectually challenged and brings about an environment where passions are grown, not cut.

There is a default set of cyber security best practices that apply to every business. However, each business also faces unique risks and therefore has a unique optimal cyber security posture. We believe businesses should identify and recognize this unique posture and act upon it. Doing this requires a deep understanding of a business’ core capabilities and architecture and goes far beyond executing risk assessments or adhering to cyber security checklists. While we recognize the latter two are necessary and at times difficult tasks, we claim that a holistic approach which leads to a sustainable cyber security capability must start at the architectural layer to be successful.
