About Bugscale
Bugscale is a Swiss-based security company helping organizations worldwide reduce real risk. We specialize in security audits (application security, penetration testing, security controls), and reverse engineering — delivering precise analysis, clear evidence, and fixes that land quickly.
Who We Are
Bugscale was founded by seasoned professionals with multiple years of technical field experience who wanted security assessments to be as exacting as the systems they protect.
Our team blends reverse engineers, exploit developers, application security specialists, seasoned penetration testers, and security architects. Our core lies in offensive security excellence, driven by a commitment to trust, rigor, and the highest standards.
Our Mission
Empower engineering and security teams to build and run systems that withstand modern attacks. We do this with rigorous, adversarial testing anchored in business context, and by transferring knowledge as we go.
- Reveal and prioritize the vulnerabilities that matter most to your objectives.
- Translate technical evidence into backlog-ready remediation.
- Strengthen your defenses and security culture with every engagement.
What We Believe
- Precision over volume: fewer false positives, stronger signal, faster fixes.
- Collaboration beats confrontation: we work as partners to your engineers.
- Evidence wins: we show exploitability, chain issues, and quantify impact.
- Security is a practice: we invest in research, training, and community.
