Management

(Sven.) Philipp Kalweit is an experienced IT security consultant on the topics of security awareness and offensive IT auditing. For the past six years, he has been advising and auditing clients from the SME and group environment, in particular ECB and BaFin-regulated organizations as well as groups in the retail sector. His consulting focus is on holistic IT security.

At the age of nine, he found his passion for IT security, began to gain initial experience with computer systems and programming languages. The first presentations at renowned conferences such as CeBIT followed. By means of an exemption, he succeeded at the age of 16 in having himself pronounced fully competent by the district court of Neustadt am Rübenberge (Hanover). Shortly thereafter, he registered as a freelance IT security consultant. Due to high customer demand, he founded a better organized legal form at the age of 17, and KALWEIT ITS GmbH came into being.

Since 2017, the company has been serving a large number of KRITIS and DAX companies from the financial, retail, insurance and healthcare sectors.

Philipp Kalweit is majority shareholder, founder and current managing director of KALWEIT ITS GmbH. He was honored for his work in 2019 by DIE ZEIT as “Hamburger of the Month” and in the same year was included in the Forbes “30 under 30 DACH” list.

Since May 2024 industrial engineer Günther Paprocki has been a managing partner at KALWEIT ITS. He is responsible for operations and human resources. From his positions at Sharp, Philips and Cisco, he brings a breath of fresh air to our consulting firm.

Whether in the field of photovoltaics, e-mobility or the first mobile network in Germany – Günther Paprocki has always been active in forward-looking sectors in the past. His current mission: to strengthen cybersecurity in Germany.

Born in Munich, he moved to his new adopted home of Hamburg at the beginning of 2000 for love. He is the father of three children.

Hobbies: For fresh wind and good air Günther likes to go sailing in his spare time, as long as his other hobby “family” allows it. As soon as it gets cold outside, the gray cells are exercised with web programming.

Topics close to my heart: Process optimization, project planning, data protection, cooperation in partnership.
