About us
We are an independent consulting and auditing company for IT security and support companies in all matters relating to cybersecurity – always product-neutral, independent and from the perspective of a potential attacker. Over 400 projects in more than nine years in highly regulated industries are proof of our experience. Our expertise starts where technology providers, system houses or international consulting groups often reach their limits.
Our service portfolio includes penetration tests, red teaming, vulnerability analyses, phishing tests and awareness training. We also advise on information security, data protection and security concepts and can take on external ISB functions on request. We work exclusively with permanently employed experts, because security begins with trust.
What sets us apart: Reliability, commitment and a partnership of equals. We stand for Hanseatic values – and for designing IT security clearly, honestly and effectively.
