Security and Compliance

Balanced IT security and compliance

Cybersecurity that strengthens your business instead of slowing it down

Cyberattacks cost German companies more than 266.6 billion Euros every year and have practically become a part of everyday life. What’s more, new regulations such as NIS2, DORA or the GDPR require additional time and attention. We believe that security and compliance should not be an obstacle.

As your partner for information security, we help you turn risks into opportunities with sophisticated protection concepts. These concepts help you meet legal requirements, simplify processes, take the burden off your internal resources, and secure your company for the future. Together we will create a secure foundation that strengthens trust, reduces the risk of failure and drives you forwards.

What we offer: modular protection for every need

We offer modular-style services to help you identify risks early on, establish appropriate protective measures and strengthen awareness of security throughout your company. We are by your side at every step as you face your challenges, always keeping the essentials in mind.

A comprehensive risk assessment systematically uncovers threats and vulnerabilities. A gap analysis creates transparency around vulnerabilities in systems, data flows and processes, and provides clear recommendations on how to improve your information security.

We work together with you to define and establish technical and organisational measures, such as IT security policies, so as to sustainably improve your information security and strengthen your data security too. National and international standards, guidelines and regulations are taken into account.

We support you with the practical implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and industry-specific data protection guidelines, and offer you practical solutions for handling personal information in your IT and organisation in line with data protection requirements.

Your employees are the key to greater information security. We strengthen their awareness of security with realistic training, phishing emails and interactive learning modules. This creates champions of security who spread knowledge and responsibility within the company and become an active part of the IT security concept.

Using customised test plans that combine automated and manual methods, ethical hackers examine your systems from an attacker’s perspective. You will receive an action plan with clear priorities that can be understood by both IT and management.

Based on your network topology, a resilient, segmented network architecture is created with firewall concepts and targeted access controls. This is complemented by sophisticated identity and access management (IAM) that incorporates zero trust principles, multi-factor authentication and single sign-on. Endpoint security, privileged access management, and automated user lifecycle management reduce attack surfaces and sustainably relieve the burden on your IT.

Security requirements are integrated directly into your development and deployment processes. Through the zero-trust principle and automated security checks using SAST and DAST tools (e.g. in Jenkins, GitLab, or Azure DevOps), IT security becomes an integral part of your CI/CD pipelines, meaning risks are identified early and time to market is kept short.

Your environment is secured with clear governance, automated protection mechanisms and complete transparency when it comes to risks and responsibilities, no matter whether infrastructure is multi-cloud or hybrid. We develop security strategies for Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud (GCP) or Oracle Cloud. Our concepts integrate container security for Docker and Kubernetes and support zero-trust approaches even in dynamic cloud environments.

 

In the event of an emergency, you are ready to act with us as your partner. We are here to support you with the professional operation of your Security Operations Centre (SOC) and ensure that real-time monitoring, intelligent log and event analysis and AI-powered threat hunting run smoothly. By competently integrating and working with leading SIEM and SOAR solutions such as Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, and QRadar, threat detection becomes highly automated and efficient. Structured incident response playbooks based on established frameworks enable transparent, rapid responses to IT security incidents.

The secure development of AI/ML pipelines is becoming increasingly important. As your partner, we help you protect against prompt injection, model poisoning and other AI-specific threats. With an LLM security assessment and quantum-safe cryptography roadmaps, we prepare your company for future security challenges.

Why classic IT security is no longer enough

Traditional security approaches are reactive, often take action too late, and are based on concepts that are not suited to current work models and cloud environments. Successful attacks exploit human errors, security flaws and technical deficiencies long before traditional defence mechanisms can react.

Our answer: IT security as an integrated system. With secure by design, information security is embedded in your processes, systems and teams right from the start, making them audit-proof and compliant with information security protection goals such as confidentiality, integrity and availability.

Integrating protection mechanisms significantly reduces the likelihood of security incidents, and if there does happen to an incident, this can be identified more quickly and handled in a more structured manner, with your reactivity heightened in the event of an emergency. Using structured assessments, customised strategies and automated security measures, we create quantifiable IT security for companies.

Your advantages at a glance

Audit readiness and compliance

By systematically implementing compliance requirements, you are always prepared for an audit. This reduces the effort needed when an audit does come around and ensures clear traceability of the measures you’ve implemented.

Stable, available infrastructures

A proactive security architecture minimises downtime and increases system reliability, ensuring that business-critical processes are continuously kept available.

More efficient IT teams

Automated workflows relieve your IT departments of routine tasks, allowing them to focus more on strategic projects and innovations.

Transparency, calculable risks and trust

Comprehensible security measures create trust among customers and partners. Transparency and measurability ensure that risks remain calculable and well-founded decisions can be made.

Typical usage scenarios

Our solutions are relevant for any organisation that works with sensitive data, complex IT architectures or industry-specific regulations. We draw on our expertise when developing new software, where security by design is implemented from the very beginning. Benefit from our experience in secure transformation without legacy risks during cloud migration and IT modernisation.

Thanks to our structured approach, compliance projects for NIS2, DORA or critical infrastructures become plannable and transparent. We will also support you with establishing structural security after security incidents.

Our tried-and-tested approach

A structured approach enables predictable results and reduces risks during implementation. Your individual circumstances are the basis for concrete, quantifiable progress in every phase.

Security assessment

We conduct a comprehensive vulnerability analysis, audit your processes and compliance, create a detailed map of your threat landscape, and quantify risks according to internationally recognised standards.

Strategy development

Based on the results of the assessment, we develop a security roadmap, setting out your priorities, with detailed budget and resource planning. Particular attention is paid to identifying quick wins and aligning all relevant stakeholders.

Step-by-step implementation

We work with agile sprint implementation, minimising operational disruptions through careful planning and continuous team training. Weekly progress reviews ensure transparency and timely course corrections.

Continuous security operations

Real-time monitoring and response, security health checks and threat intelligence ensure lasting security after implementation. Our approach is transparently documented and closely coordinated with your internal processes.

FAQs

IT security includes all technical and organisational measures to protect information, IT systems and infrastructures from attacks, loss or unauthorised access. It is irrelevant whether your company involves critical infrastructures or not.

The three central protection goals are confidentiality, integrity and availability of data and systems. Authenticity is sometimes understood as a fourth goal, but usually comes under integrity.

In addition to targeted cyberattacks, misconfigurations, unprotected interfaces and human error are also common causes of security incidents.

We analyse your existing processes, identify gaps and work with you to develop appropriate measures to prepare for audits and create sustainable compliance.

Security requirements are integrated into architecture, processes and code from the outset, rather than added later. This creates higher levels of quality and reduces any subsequent redevelopment work.

Through targeted training, clear role allocation and practical support, we promote awareness of security and personal responsibility within your teams.
