Compliance and Projects Officer IT Company, European-Wide

The Cyber Digital Protection Program offered by Chaleit offers my company a true partner in our security journey. Chaleit operates as an extension of my team by working with us rather than for us. I now have experienced partner testing software, consulting on product configurations, and security integrations into development and business processes all year. The ability to test on the fly and have the documentation uploaded into our Jira environment really brings testing results to life, allowing us to assign tasks and increase productivity across the board.

Senior Manager, Information Security & Compliance Large Enterprise, East Coast USA

Our ongoing collaboration with Chaleit remains a great experience. They are in many ways like an extension of our existing team, completely flexible and ever ready to work with us. Always available to help assist with remediation and in conversations with owners and stakeholders wherever there is a need.

Our DNA in action

We create a safe and supportive environment for our team, where talent is nurtured, excellence is celebrated, and respect is embedded in all interactions. Our standards are high, and our work environment is fair, inclusive, and enjoyable. The core values drive everything we do, from the employment process to client engagement.

Mastery

We are on a continuous learning journey in our expertise and understanding of clients’ needs. The road to craftsmanship is sinuous, but we are dedicated to sustaining long-term growth for people and our business.

Generosity

We believe kindness is the only way to do business. Whether going the extra mile, retesting for free, offering extra vacation days to our people, or saying a thoughtful word, giving is a spring that never runs dry.

Transparency

Ethical and accountable at all times, we don’t build walls of silence but talk openly about timelines, progress, capabilities, and even mistakes. With us, you get the right way, not just the quick way. We can do it right but also pretty quickly.

Ownership

We encourage the positive handover of control: you own a task until somebody else confirms taking over. To avoid the diffusion of responsibility, we put ourselves forward to get things done.

Flexibility

We adapt our schedules to solve problems at our clients’ pace, and we do the same for our colleagues. As a global team, we operate in multiple time zones, and we’re comfortable working with any system, stack, or platform.

Real Added Value

Driving value in all activities is essential. We don’t do pitches but have genuine conversations. We don’t just publish a blog but put experts front and centre. We don’t hit and run but are in it long-term.

Your holistic cyber security journey starts with a single step—we do the rest.

Our team connects you with the best minds in security across the globe.
