Baskovc
CEO, Benchmarked Group · Ljubljana, EU
I build AI-native products and cybersecurity platforms for regulated industries — pharma, finance, defence. Based in Slovenia, operating across the US and UAE. My work sits at the intersection of enterprise AI, OT/IoT security, and compliance. I run a portfolio of B2B brands and ship real things fast.

How Can I Help
Security · Business · Scale — tap to explore.
🔐
Cryptography & Post-Quantum Readiness
Helping clients transition to post-quantum cryptography to safeguard long-term data assets. A narrow, high-value niche almost no one can credibly serve. My Cryptera / DLT background makes this real — not theoretical.
🪪
Identity & Zero Trust Architecture
Enterprises are restructuring identity and access for hybrid and multi-cloud environments. IAM + machine identity (Cryptera's OT/IoT angle) is white-hot in 2026.
💳
Payments Security & Compliance
Advising across wallets, embedded finance, orchestration platforms, and challenger banks. Senior domain expertise pulled in for high-stakes engagements.
📋
Financial Crime & Regulatory Compliance
GDPR, NIS2, DORA, EU AI Act — one of the most actively hired specializations in consulting right now. CyberPass maps directly here.
