We exist to help organizations uncover real-world security risks before they become business problems.

About IVASTA Security

IVASTA Security was founded by Ivan Stanev, an experienced offensive security professional, with the mission to deliver penetration testing that reflects real-world attacker behavior rather than automated checklists.

In today’s environment, many organizations rely heavily on automated vulnerability scanners and templated reports. While tools provide useful visibility, they often miss the deeper, business-critical weaknesses that arise from custom logic, complex authorization models, and evolving cloud architectures. We built IVASTA Security to bridge that gap.

Our mission is to provide structured, manual, adversarial security assessments that uncover exploitable risk before it becomes a business incident.

Senior-Level Offensive Security Expertise

At IVASTA Security, every engagement is led by senior offensive security professionals with extensive hands-on experience across web applications, APIs, internal networks, and cloud environments.

Our experts hold industry-recognized, top-tier certifications including the OSCP, CRTP, OSCE, OSEP, and other. These credentials are widely regarded as some of the most rigorous practical security examinations in the industry, requiring real exploitation under controlled, time-constrained environments.

Through continuous research, ongoing skills refinement, and exposure to evolving attack techniques, our team remains aligned with modern threat landscapes. The result is structured, validated insight that organizations can rely on — enabling stronger resilience, informed decision-making, and confident growth.
