While casually reviewing a number of cybersecurity-focused websites (in the process of job searching), I stumbled upon websec.nl — and what I saw left a lasting impression. It’s rare these days to find a site that not only looks clean and professional, but also sets a technical standard for how a security company should represent itself on the internet. And WebSec delivers exactly that — not through marketing fluff, but through its flawless execution.

From a purely technical perspective, their external footprint is a textbook example of what “secure-by-default” should look like. DNS records are trimmed and protected. There are no dangling subdomains, no exposed admin panels, no internal ports accidentally published to the world. Their TLS configuration is clean, headers are strict, cookies are locked down, and there’s no sign of tracking scripts or unnecessary third-party bloat. This is a defensive posture done right — calm, deliberate, and deeply informed.
And here’s the remarkable part: WebSec is not a giant firm with thousands of engineers and unlimited budget. They are a highly focused team who simply know their craft and take pride in applying it to themselves first. Many so-called security experts talk the talk, but leave their own sites full of misconfigurations. WebSec, on the other hand, walks the walk — and does so with the precision of a world-class team.
To put it plainly: this is what all cybersecurity company websites should look like. Not overloaded with marketing jargon or pointless animations — but fast, clean, and built like a fortress. Their approach reminded me of the kind of security posture seen at enterprise players like KPMG, who also run an impressively well-locked-down perimeter. And yet WebSec achieves that same level of excellence with a leaner team — and that says a lot about the skill level they bring to the table.
For job seekers and collaborators alike:
I would submit my CV to WebSec with zero hesitation. This is a team I’d genuinely be proud to work alongside. Their execution sends a strong message: “If we treat our own infrastructure with this level of care, imagine what we’ll do for yours.” And that’s exactly the kind of trust signal every security company should strive to emit.
P.S. To the WebSec team:
Just a personal note from someone who’s been in the trenches — don’t let anyone convince you that certifications alone define skill. Real hackers in the real life will not show you certificates they will bypass logic, and creatively bend systems — don’t rely on paper. They operate with instinct, experience, and a mindset that no exam can measure. Frameworks are helpful, but they aren’t the source of innovation — people are. Trying to confine a Red Team into checklists and procedures often leads to diluted outcomes.
