Why Elena started it.

Elena co-founded WhatsExposed after watching businesses pay for a pen test, file the report and change nothing until the next one.

I did not start this to sell more pen tests. I started it because the people who could actually break in were never the ones in the room, and a PDF once a year was being called security.

So the company was built the other way round: senior, certified people on every job, findings in a live portal, and a model where IT providers can deliver it under their own name.
