Historic
PhD Carlo Harpes, Founder and Managing Director of itrust consulting since 2007 has a PhD in Information and Cryptography techniques. He detains also a Diploma in Electrical Engineering from the EPF Zurich. Carlo Harpes has more than 17 years of experience in Information System Security being previously Chief Technology Officer at Telindus PSF for 3 years and Head of "Security Audit and Governance Services". From 1996 to 2004, he was Deputy Director and Head of Information Security Department at Cetrel S.C. Carlo Harpes is ISO 20000 certified auditor, ISO 27001 auditor for SNCH and PKI technical auditor for ILNAS.
From its beginning, itrust consulting has succeeded to integrate the consortium of the large EU R&D project BUGYO Beyond. This Research and Development activity was complementary to audit missions and security consulting activities provided to institutional and private organisations.
Beyond the research made on security topics, Carlo Harpes wanted for itrust to keep an implication in the space domain. The company has therefore participated to the Luxembourg programme named LuxLAUNCH. The projects in which itrust participates are related to services, security, standards and study on new technologies relating to space. Within this programme, itrust and other partners have developed the concept of security assurance provider for localisation data. This project is now followed-up by an ESA project named LASP for which itrust is the coordinator.
In 2009, itrust consulting continued to innovate by integrating the FP7 project MICIE. This project allowed the company to become an expert in the protection of critical infrastructures by developing with other project partners a risk prediction tool.
Itrust consulting differentiates from its competitors by developing specific security tools, systems and services arising from R&D, for organisations of the Grande-Région. Within the project Celtic BUGYO Beyond and ITEA2 DIAMONDS, the itrust team of experts is developing tools and a platform for risk analysis and treatment, management of security events and security testing. Some of these tools are implemented within some organisations of the Grande-Région.
In 2010, itrust consulting started the FP7 project Liveline for the development of a secure location sharing platform for vulnerable people and their family members. Liveline was an opportunity for itrust to get familiar with security and privacy issues related to Location Based Services (LBS) and develop the appropriate countermeasures.
Today, itrust is maintaining a good ratio between R&D activities and consultancy/audit missions which is important to continuously improve security tools and to propose new services for evolving security threats.
Rigour, adaptability, quality and innovation have made from itrust consulting a recognised partner.
