Initiatives

Innovative open-source projects and methodologies from De Winter Information Solutions

At De Winter Information Solutions, we believe in the power of open technology, transparency and collaboration. Based on that belief, several innovative initiatives have emerged in recent years, aimed at improving digital security and compliance within organisations.

Our initiatives combine technical depth with practical applicability and are developed in close cooperation with experts, government agencies and the open-source community.

Meet our key projects below:


🐾 OpenKAT - Open Vulnerabilities Analysis Tool

A powerful open-source solution for continuously monitoring security risks and demonstrating compliance. OpenKAT combines insights from tools such as Shodan, CMS scanners and custom tests into one clear dashboard - focusing on attack surface management, timeline analysis and auditing.

  • “The question is not whether we are safe, but whether we see vulnerabilities. “*

😺 MIAUW - Methodology for Information Security Examination with Audit Value

A structured, open methodology for penetration testing that enables organisations to achieve reproducible, replicable and verifiable results. MIAUW supports organisations in demonstrating compliance with laws and regulations such as NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act.

Evidence-based testing - repeatable, transparent and tailored to your business context.


These initiatives are freely available, continuously evolving and deployable for organisations that want to be at the forefront of digital resilience. Want to know how these tools can strengthen your organisation? Visit contact on.
