About Certcle
Who is Certcle
After about 20 years of working in the security evaluation and certification industry, I decided to take a break and to write down the stories about this industry I love. The content will be in the forms of podcasts, blogs, and hopefully with a book as the final result (I am old school). You will be abel to find me on different social media platforms and I will experiment with interviews, events, and other offline activities. It will be fun and exciting and I would like to invite you on this journey with me.
Our services
On the side of writing the stories about the security evaluation and certification industry, I am also open to offer consulting services to companies or organizations.
Why Certcle
Started as an evaluator and worked on different product types and methodologies. From 2008 I supported the whole transition of high assurance certification in China for Security Elements and System on Chips. And from 2021 I was responsible for the operation of finally 4 evaluation labs in Asia. I have in depth knowledge of how security evaluation works both from operational and commercial aspects. Together with my reputation and strong network I am confident to support and guide your business to set the right security evaluation and certification strategies.
Where to find and engage with me
Assurance Unknown podcast
Assurance Unknown, a podcast about all the untold stories in the high assurance IT product security evaluation and certification industry. This is a podcast hosted by me, who worked in IT product security evaluation and certification for about 20 years. I will interview the people who are in my view a big part of my personal journey in this industry and also people who helped shaping this industry. There is no way to predict or plan the future without knowing the past. And I am curious about all the unknown stories, to me, along the way. I am welcoming you to join my journey to discover how the industry has come to be. Hopefully to find a way to go forward together!
This podcast is available in video format on YouTube (follow the link at the bottom of this website) and Bilibili (CERTCLE). The audio format can be found on both Spotify and Apple podcast. Please subscribe and engage in the conversations and very important: be nice to one and other!
Blog
With every episode of the podcast I will have some deeper thoughts to reflect and new ideas to share, which I will write them down in my blog. There are also snippets of thoughts I collected through the years developing security evaluation and certification strategies that I will put in this blog. Overall, the blog is a place for deeper sharing and discussions.

At the bottom of this page you can also find the links to my presence on other social platforms. I am not the person and not the age who has the habit to use the social media. However, there will be some behind the scene pictures of the podcast, pictures from events or activities, and maybe more (relatively) real time interactions with you all. Besides X and Instagram, you can also find me on Bluesky (@certcle.bsky.social), Little red book (CERTCLE) and of course LinkedIn.
