about us

Over MonkeysICT: Uw Partner in Cybersecurity

MonkeysICT started as a company providing IT services, such as building websites (mainly in WordPress), and later ran an online children’s pyjama shop. Alongside that, we developed ethical hacking courses and wrote articles on various cybersecurity topics. Today, MonkeysICT has fully specialised in offensive cybersecurity services.

We help organisations of all sizes secure their systems and keep them safe. We do this through penetration testing, Open Source Intelligence, training and presentations, container scanning, vulnerability scanning and phishing simulations. Want to learn more about cybersecurity? MonkeysICT organises tailored training so you and your staff learn to think like a hacker.

Our vision

MonkeysICT wil de toonaangevende partner zijn voor bedrijven die zich willen wapenen tegen cyberdreigingen. Wij zien een toekomst waarin organisaties hun digitale veiligheid serieus nemen en proactief handelen tegen potentiële risico’s. Door middel van innovatie, continue educatie en expertise willen we bedrijven in staat stellen om veilig en met vertrouwen te opereren in een steeds complexere digitale wereld.

Our mission

Our mission at MonkeysICT is to help organisations secure their digital environment through high-quality, reliable offensive cybersecurity services. We strive to support businesses of all sizes in identifying and remediating vulnerabilities, so they can focus on growth without worrying about cyber threats.

MonkeysICT — an honest story

Behind MonkeysICT is one person: Joost van ‘t Zand, owner and lead pentester. Dat betekent: je werkt altijd direct met degene die de test ook daadwerkelijk uitvoert. Geen overdracht naar een junior, geen ruis in de communicatie.

Joost began his IT career with websites and broad systems, but quickly specialised in offensive cybersecurity. Today, MonkeysICT focuses entirely on penetration testing for SMEs, SaaS companies, healthcare institutions and government organisations.

Certificeringen

Joost keeps his knowledge current through hands-on certifications — not paper qualifications, but exams where you actually have to break into systems:

  • OSCP — Offensive Security Certified Professional. De meest erkende hands-on pentestcertificering. 24 uur lang inbreken in een geïsoleerd netwerk, gevolgd door een technisch rapport.
  • OSWE — Offensive Security Web Expert. Advanced web application security, focused on source code review and finding vulnerabilities in complex applications.
  • OSEP — Offensive Security Experienced Penetration Tester. Advanced techniques: evasion, post-exploitation, Active Directory attacks.
  • eWPT — eLearnSecurity Web Penetration Tester. Hands-on web pentest certification with an extensive assessment.
  • CEH — Certified Ethical Hacker. Broad overview of ethical hacking and offensive techniques.
  • Pentest+ — CompTIA Pentest+. Infrastructure- and compliance-focused penetration testing.

The advantage of a one-person company

At larger agencies, a junior or mid-level tester does most of the hours and a senior only reviews the report. At MonkeysICT, Joost personally performs the entire test — from reconnaissance to reporting. That delivers a deeper, more consistent result, and direct communication for questions or findings.

Our approach

  • Scope and approach are always documented in writing beforehand
  • For a critical finding, you’re notified the same day — not just in the final report
  • Reports include both a management summary and technical detail with reproduction steps
  • A retest after remediation is available (optional, priced separately)
