About us
"We stand for independent, quality-oriented IT security that works in everyday life and is effective in an emergency."
We are an independent consulting and auditing company for IT security with over nine years of experience and more than 400 projects in highly regulated industries. Our expertise begins where technology providers, large system houses or international consulting groups often reach their limits.
Our supreme discipline is manual IT security testing. As a result, we know in detail how real attackers proceed, how they think, plan and actually exploit vulnerabilities. We translate this knowledge into effective, practical security measures. In this way, we combine the perspective of attackers with the operational realities of highly regulated companies. This results in solutions that are technically sound, regulatory viable and can be implemented in everyday life.
For corporations, highly regulated industries and Critical Infrastructures, we provide manual security audits and IT security consulting wherever it is important to understand how attackers really operate. We are a long-term sparring partner for SMEs and take responsibility for the entire IT security situation of our customers. This means that we take care of all security-related issues and ensure that IT security is stable and reliable.
