What SecuLabs does

SecuLabs SA is a privately held Swiss cybersecurity firm headquartered in Montricher (Canton of Vaud) with a research and development laboratory — the SecuLabs Lab — located at the EPFL Innovation Park in Lausanne. Founded in 2012 and operating with a team in the 11–50 employee range (including eight dedicated pentesters), the firm delivers a comprehensive portfolio of professional cybersecurity services: penetration testing, security audits, architecture reviews, digital forensics, security training and coaching, and CISO-as-a-Service. Its client base spans banking and insurance, government agencies, international organizations, energy and industrial companies, and service-sector firms — primarily in French-speaking Switzerland (Suisse Romande) — with the firm positioning itself as a local, personalized alternative to global consultancies.

The firm’s technical footprint combines human expertise with three proprietary tools developed at the EPFL-based lab. GoVuln automates penetration testing activities against an IT perimeter and enables continuous security-level tracking rather than one-shot assessments; WSCT (Windows Security Check Tool) executes more than 150 hardening and compliance checks against Windows workstations and supports periodic or SIEM-integrated continuous execution; and PegaCheck detects Pegasus spyware on smartphones using a non-signature methodology capable of identifying mutated or unknown variants. The firm also maintains court-approved digital forensics methodologies for evidence acquisition across workstations, servers, appliances, and mobile devices — a credential relevant to regulated and legal-sector engagements.

Its revenue model is anchored in customized professional services engagements supplemented by recurring elements from proprietary products (described as subscription-style) and transactional fees from an IT and security recruitment service line covering IT infrastructure, security governance, SOC, and cloud roles. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Sales are conducted directly via the company’s bilingual French/English website, phone, and email contact channels — primarily a field sales motion targeting enterprise and institutional buyers rather than a self-serve or product-led motion. The team holds 12+ industry certifications (including CISSP, OSCP, OSWE, CISA, CISM, GCFE, and others), which underpins the firm’s positioning as a specialist with deep domain credentials in a market where vendor qualification in regulated verticals is a gating requirement.
