AWARE7 is a cybersecurity firm headquartered in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, with a team of roughly 30 specialists. The company's work centers on offensive security and information security consulting - penetration testing, red teaming, and vulnerability scanning are core operations, alongside AI-driven penetration testing, a domain with a growing and somewhat unpredictable attack surface.
The technical scope extends to building and certifying information security management systems under ISO 27001, conducting internal audits, and staffing roles like external information security officers and data protection officers. On the awareness side, the team runs live-hacking demonstrations, phishing simulations, and gamified training programs. They also provide NIS-2 compliance training for executives and T.I.S.P. certifications.
The threat model here is broad: the company positions itself across the offensive-defensive spectrum, from breaking into systems to hardening governance frameworks. For security practitioners, the operational mix - red teaming plus GRC consulting plus hands-on awareness delivery - means you're likely toggling between exploit chains and policy decks in the same week.
