Our approach

The successful development and implementation of a comprehensive information security management system (ISMS) takes place top-down. This ensures that the company's goals or strategy are taken into account and that the implementation is supported by the company's management.

CISO as a Service

The application of the Information Security Management System (ISMS), on the other hand, is driven bottom-up and is based on evidence, checks (audits) and risk analyses, which are checked against the specifications (guidelines, action instructions and technical policies) and assessed in the context of the company and the applicable regulatory requirements.

Our experienced and certified consultants have distinctive expertise to carry out the development, implementation and application of security-relevant tasks for you and thus act as representatives between the company management and the IT departments and their users. Our consultants work exclusively in the cyber security environment and therefore always have the latest information and certifications.
