About Us

Two founders, one team.
And a clear stance.

Security and software go hand in hand. We don't build off-the-shelf solutions, we don't just pass things along, and we speak our minds.

Our Approach

We founded ITanic,
, because we understand both sides.

Philipp has a background in security and law, while Matthias specializes in networks and software. Most providers can do one or the other. We wanted to combine the two.

What We Saw

Applications that were built without anyone considering how they would be operated. And security concepts that fail to take into account the evolving reality.

What Became of It

Not just a service provider that processes orders, but a team that takes responsibility for what it builds and protects.

What this means for you

Whoever develops your system also operates it. Whoever tests it knows it inside and out. And whoever steps in when it really counts knows exactly what you're talking about.

It's possible to build software without thinking about attackers.
We can't.

Known for

How Car Thieves Unlock Vehicles Without a Key.

On the show *Steiermark Mobil*, Matthias Pointinger demonstrated how the radio signal from a car key can be intercepted and copied using a simple device, and how that signal can then be used to unlock the vehicle. No forced entry, no alarm, no trace. That’s exactly what our work is all about: identifying vulnerabilities before someone else exploits them.

What We Work With

Depth, not width.

We specialize in areas where superficial knowledge can be dangerous. Each team member has a specific area of responsibility.

Penetration Testing & Red Teaming

Manual tests that go beyond automated scanners. Black-box, gray-box, physical security, and social engineering.

Incident Response & Forensics

Stop attacks, contain damage, and thoroughly investigate the causes. Includes documentation admissible in court.

Network & Cloud Security

Secure networks, protect cloud environments, and establish access policies that can withstand the demands of day-to-day operations.

Full-Stack Development

Web, mobile, interfaces, and internal tools. From architecture to deployment—all from a single source.

DevOps & Infrastructure

Build, automate, and monitor infrastructure. Systems that run reliably and report issues immediately.

NIS2 & Compliance

Both managing directors are certified NIS2 consultants. From gap analysis to audit preparation.

How We Work

Four things we do differently.

No empty promises—just what you can use to judge us.

Security and Software from a Single Source

We develop applications and secure systems. Both are equally important, and both are handled under one roof. Security is an integral part of the architecture, not an afterthought.

Directly with the team

No project managers acting as translators. You'll speak directly with the people who are building your solution. Nothing is passed on to a third party.

Infrastructure in Austria

Operated in Austrian data centers. No U.S. provider, no legal gray areas, fully GDPR-compliant without compromise.

Honest Assessment

We recommend what makes sense, not what brings in the biggest contract. What matters after the project is whether it works.
