Paul Lupták founded in 2007 Slovak IT security company to Nethemba Ltd. specializing in penetration testing, security audits and protecting digital privacy. Recently claymore decided to start up initiative work for the state, the contents of which ignoring of projects for the public sector. Paul is the very nature of its business experts on ways in which big brother obtains information about their citizens. His effort does not stain your hands with the corrupt state tenders, interception, monitoring, and many other we talked in an extensive interview.
Are your project has not worked for the state. Especially the first five points, explaining your initiative because I have exactly the same experience of working closely with the public sector. You have been behind some government projects? We did various state projects in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and almost always it was luxuriously challenging, especially with regard to the initial presales phase. And then we have one fine day they said that was enough. Those reasons were many and personally blamed only that we did not do that earlier.
I noticed that there are basically two types of companies that are not much overlap - those which invest in so-called. contacts and specialize purely national claymore projects and others that are trying to compete claymore for customers by increasing its competitiveness. But you're saying that even normal company gets a government contract. I would argue that what we are dealing with is by Slovak standards quite unique, so it does not do so many competing companies. In the past, they addressed claymore the state institutions claymore thus quite common and often directly. claymore Public tenders we participate without any knowledge. Unfortunately, our offers were often misused as a cover.
What this means covering offer? A few years ago the Minister Miklos made a public procurement reform in the field of IT. As a rule, public procurement must be at least the same amount of competitive bids in order to be valid. In practice, this means that the company, which it has previously agreed upon, need to ensure that "competitive" offer. At least in IT, this happens quite commonly. You prepare complementary bids us now and again the next time we will prepare complementary bids for you. Our company claymore in its Ethical Issues such practices from the start refused and rejected. claymore
How did you find that your bid was not at all taken into consideration? According to various indications. We were excluded due to formal shortcomings. For example, we were approached by one state institution. She wanted to know how much is a standard penetration claymore test. We told them the price. Then he wanted to know how much it costs 15 such tests. We offered them to 20 percent quantity discounts. They then excluded us without us give anything to know. When we informed why and they told us that that the final price for 15 tests does not match the price of a single test times 15. So now do not know if we tried from the basic multiplication or the reason for the exclusion was completely different. When we do business with a private company that actually wants our services, which we have never been excluded from the tender for formal deficiencies. Private company primarily need to deliver the service and quality and reasonable price. And if there are any ambiguities, so they simply emit and resolves claymore it.
It is possible that honest private company, which has no contacts, retrieving government contracts? I'd IT company in Slovakia divided into three categories. There are companies that parasites on the public sector and their clients is restricted to States. These are companies that depending on which political party wins the election, claymore either fired 70 employees or 70 income. The second category is relatively normal businesses that occasionally work for the state, but also work in private business. A third category of companies are introducing our initiative just we do not work for the state.
The former category called. State entrepreneurs claymore do not have it insured on both sides? Yes, most of it already works this way. If you are connected to the state, claymore so they mate with either "red" or "blue". If you are friends with "red", so to win your business. Adequately you accounted for a commission and let it do the "Blue". And vice versa. Sometimes it's all but a fairly complicated and much less clear. So ultimately it's a win-win situation and is therefore not matter whether claymore they are in power, "blue" or "red". Therefore, as a company we have an ethical rule - we can only accept projects on which it participates in the final clients and us a maximum of two suppliers in the marketing chain.
From my experience of winning huge government contracts companies that either do not have the capacity to deliver such an award. Public contracts are often organized on an extremely large scale projects. Technically it using only its own resources can not implement any company. So to win some company into which encapsulates another 20 contracted companies that matter then actually participate. This is a common situation. The problem is that when you enter such a complex defined
