## Consecutive Years — Key Resume Signal

Dennis has earned this badge **three years running:**
| Year | Badge |
|------|-------|
| 2023/24 | Swisscom Security Champion |
| 2024/25 | Swisscom Security Champion |
| 2025/26 | Swisscom Security Champion |

Three consecutive years = not a one-time training completion but a sustained role and annual re-certification. Strong signal of ongoing security ownership.

## Provenance Notes

- **What it is:** Internal Swisscom annual badge — earned by completing structured training + assessment. Not equivalent to an external cert like CISSP or AWS Security Specialty.
- **What it is NOT:** A personal award/honor, peer-reviewed achievement, or external industry certification.
- **Safe framing:** List as internal recognition or under Swisscom experience. Do NOT list under "Certifications" alongside iSAQB, ITIL, etc. — different category.
