Securing long-term success
and shaping the future

The success of AWARE7 does not belong to us alone. Organisations, social institutions and the society we work in should benefit from it - through concrete, measurable commitment.

Areas of commitment

Social Commitment

We shape the world we live in - from scholarships and vocational training to supporting social institutions.

Environmental Commitment

Sustainability, environmental protection and circular economy are integral parts of our corporate culture - from our electric vehicle fleet to vegetarian meal options.

Economic Commitment

Innovation, research and ethical business practices strengthen the economic landscape - through partnerships, training and active participation in networks.

We create an inclusive and diverse working environment where different backgrounds, perspectives and life experiences are understood as strengths. At the same time, we take responsibility beyond our own company boundaries: in science, in society and for the environment. This is not a marketing promise - these are concrete measures we implement year after year.

Our concrete commitment

Alliance for Cyber Security

Social Commitment

Cyber Security Network

In the BSI Cyber Security Network, trained specialists serve as "digital first responders", taking responsibility for society. AWARE7 employees can complete the BSI training during regular working hours - at company expense. This creates skills that extend far beyond the job.

  • Completed during working hours
  • Social responsibility as corporate culture
Social Commitment

Vocational Training

Every year, AWARE7 offers vocational training in up to four professions: IT specialist for application development, IT specialist for system integration, office management clerk and digitalisation management clerk.

  • Up to 4 vocational training programmes annually

In the canteen of the Wissenschaftspark Gelsenkirchen - right next to the AWARE7 office - the company subsidises healthy, vegetarian lunches for all employees. A conscious decision for well-being and sustainability in everyday life.

AWARE7 operates a fleet of around ten vehicles - the majority of which are electric. The EVs are available to employees as pool cars for client visits and off-site appointments. Charging infrastructure is located directly at the office. A clear commitment to sustainable mobility.

  • ~10 vehicles, majority electric
  • Pool cars for all employees
  • Charging infrastructure at the office
Social Commitment

  • Including sauna & swimming pool
  • No additional cost for employees
Economic Commitment

Professional Development & CVE Research

AWARE7 consistently invests in the professional development of its team. Every Wednesday - internally known as "Training Wednesday" - dedicated hours are set aside for continuing education: preparing for certifications, developing conference talks, evaluating new tools or reading technical papers. In addition, pentesters are allowed to search for CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) during regular working hours and report them responsibly. Employees pursuing an academic degree or PhD in security-related fields receive both time and financial support.

  • Training Wednesday: dedicated day for professional development
  • CVE research & responsible disclosure during working hours
  • Support for academic qualifications (incl. PhD)
  • Certification preparation at company expense
