Our Values

Symmetry in quality and standards.

Individual

No two companies are alike. We tailor every assessment exactly to your infrastructure, business logic, and specific threat profile.

Holistic

We don't just look at the code. Physical security, human factors, and technical hardening only create a true security picture when combined.

Realistic

We don't simulate theory; we simulate real attackers. Our focus is on the paths a hacker would actually choose today.

Transparent

Honest communication about findings and costs. You have full insight into our methodology and current project progress at all times.

Sustainable

A report is just the beginning. We provide solutions that increase your resilience long-term, rather than just patching holes short-term.

Excellent

Highest certification standards and continuous research guarantee expertise at the cutting edge of offensive security.

From Investigator to Partner

Origin & Perspective

Cybercrime Investigation at the Criminal Police

Florian Schüssler began his path on the defensive side of IT security – with the Criminal Police. There, he analyzed complex cases of digital crime, reconstructed attack sequences, and created perpetrator profiles to understand the methods, motives, and decision-making logic of real attackers. The focus was not only on technical traces but primarily on the psychological factors behind attacks: Why are specific targets chosen? Where do human errors occur? And how do perpetrators specifically exploit time pressure, trust, or lack of knowledge? This deep understanding of real attack mechanisms remains the foundation of Access Granted today.

The Shift in Perspective

Offensive Security, Red Teaming & Real Attack Chains

After his time in government service, Florian moved into offensive IT security. In roles as a Penetration Tester, Red Teamer, and Security Consultant, he simulated real attacks on companies of various sizes – from small and medium-sized enterprises to corporations and critical infrastructure (KRITIS) organizations. The focus was never on isolated vulnerabilities, but on coherent attack chains: from initial access to privilege escalation to critical business processes. During this time, he optimized internal security processes, further developed tools and methodologies, and gained extensive experience in highly sensitive environments where security is not optional. This perspective – technically deep, strategically conceived, and practically implemented – shapes the way Access Granted works today.

Sharing Knowledge

Research & Teaching at DHBW

Parallel to his practical work, Florian shares his knowledge as a lecturer at the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University (DHBW). There, he teaches future IT specialists in various areas of IT security – with a special focus on real attack methods, threat models, and practical security concepts.

2026

Founding of Access Granted

In 2026, Florian Schüssler founded Access Granted with a clear vision:Penetration tests should be honest, efficient, and realistic – moving away from standardized checklists toward tailored security assessments that highlight real risks and enable sustainable improvements. Access Granted stands for individually coordinated security audits that show how attacks actually happen in reality. The focus is on giving companies a clear picture of their true security situation – transparent, comprehensible, and with real value added.
