Our Approach

At Upright Security, we focus on providing an end-to-end experience for (C)IAM, IGA and SASE solutions. Understanding both the technological and business aspects of your situation is crucial. Just as the Flemish word ‘oprecht’ signifies sincerity, our dedication to integrity and transparency lies at the core of everything we do.

Upright Security was founded by Bart Cools. Bart’s vision, shaped by his extensive IAM advisory experience, is centered on the belief that technology is an enabler, not the end goal. Success, he advocates, is rooted in deep understanding of the technology and frameworks.

Cédric Gossé, co-partner at Upright Security, brings a complementary perspective with his technical IAM architect expertise. Together, they form a dynamic duo, blending strategic insight with technical capabilities.

Our philosophy

At the core of our service delivery approach is a commitment to understand your unique business and technical challenges. We focus on developing strategies that not only deploy solutions but also harmoniously integrate with your organisation’s dynamics.

Our values

Oprecht

Our name, ‘Upright,’ derived from the Flemish word ‘oprecht,’ embodies our commitment to integrity and transparency. Just as ‘oprecht’ signifies sincerity, our dedication to integrity and transparency lies at the core of everything we do.

Technical expertise

We pride ourselves in the diverse team we have and our commitment to go above and beyond in terms of technical knowledge within our domains. Our team’s cohesion and constant communication enables us to successfully tackle complex challenges together.

Earn trust

We prioritize long-term relationships with our clients but understand that trust is earned through consistent reliability, transparent communication, and delivering value over time.

Why choose upright

Domain & Solution Expertise

Unlike larger firms that may offer a multitude of solutions spanning various vendors, Upright Security takes pride in delivering a true end-to-end service. By focusing on four carefully chosen vendors, we are able to provide comprehensive security solutions that seamlessly integrate with one another, offering a cohesive and holistic approach.

Strong Vendor Partnerships

By aligning with industry leaders, we provide best-in-class products and comprehensive support, ensuring maximum value for our clients. Our deep partnerships enhance our credibility and expertise, enabling us to deliver exceptional results and drive success in cybersecurity initiatives.

Quality Over Quantity

Our boutique approach allows us to devote more time and resources to understanding our clients’ unique challenges and objectives. With a focus on quality over quantity, we ensure that every client receives the individualized care and attention they deserve.

” We wanted to offer our fans a more personalized experience and improve services for football clubs, players and partners. This meant consolidating all our platforms with a single CIAM solution. Together we built a unified RBFA hub that provides all our stakeholders access to all services.”
