What are the impacts of lack of IT security?

Protect yourself from high costs!

A study by the Ponemon Institute shows that the average cost of a cyberattack for a company is around $3.86 million. In addition, a study by IBM found that companies that were able to respond to a cyber attack within 30 days suffered around $1 million less in damages than companies that took longer to detect and respond to the attack.

Our Security Consulting Services

Compliance & IT-Audit

We verify whether you comply with legal or industry-specific regulations and rules regarding your security systems. In the IT audit, which includes a vulnerability analysis, we check your IT systems for potential dangers and risks from attackers, technical deficiencies, or force majeure. Our basic examination is about creating an overview quickly and cost-effectively for liability bearers in the company of how the company is positioned in the field of information security.

Our Compliance & IT-Audit Security Consulting Service process

Taking into account the special requirements of small and medium-sized enterprises, we have developed a questionnaire which includes a wide range of questions on various topics.

You will be tasked with answering all questions, which will be covered in subsequent audits. There are 16 audit groups and 126 questions. The content of these audit groups and questions does not exclusively deal with technical protective measures but also covers the security process and necessary documentation within organizations.
In a comprehensive final report, the level of compliance will be measurable in a percentage and all deficiencies found in the company will be summarized, along with the current state of affairs. For all deficiencies found, our IT security experts will prepare recommendations for measures on how to rectify them.
As part of a final discussion, the individual measures will be prioritized together, and responsibilities will be determined, taking into account the risk of the deficiencies, so that a project plan for implementing the information security process can be developed afterwards.

Final Report for Clarity:

To prevent these potential dangers, we work with you to develop and implement best practice solutions. The results of the questionnaire are presented to you in a comprehensive final report.
