About

Principal-led offensive security.

I am Simeon Georgiev. I founded Covert Binary and I run the engagements.

How I work

The person who scopes your engagement is the person on the keyboard.

I have led or delivered 300+ offensive engagements across my career — penetration tests, red teams and threat-led programmes — with a background in consultancy, defence-sector and financial-institution work.

When scope needs more capacity, I bring in named associates I have worked with before, under NDA and named to you in the SoW.

I take on a limited number of engagements at a time. I would rather turn work away than ship a report I am not prepared to defend line by line.

What you can count on

  • Reports written from scratch. Every finding is described in the context of your environment, for the people who will fix it.
  • Scoped and priced per engagement. Agreed up front, held for the duration.

White-label

A meaningful share of the work is white-labelled: engagements run behind an agency's brand, in their template, on their timeline. Ask and I will send a partnership brief.

Where I am

Covert Binary Ltd, incorporated in Bulgaria, operating from Sofia. EU-wide, selectively beyond.
