Our Information Security Consulting Services for SMEs
We offer comprehensive information security services tailored specifically to the needs of SMEs. Our goal is to protect your data, systems, and business processes from potential threats while meeting regulatory requirements.
Risk management and threat analysis
We identify potential risks and threat scenarios for your IT infrastructure and assess their impact on your company. We take targeted measures to minimize the risk of security incidents.
Implementation of an ISMS according to ISO 27001
We assist you in implementing an information security management system (ISMS) according to ISO 27001 to ensure the long-term confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your information.
Implementation of an ISMS according to TISAX®
Companies in the automotive industry need to implement an information security management system following the TISAX® Automotive Standards. This allows you to meet the strict requirements for information security and data protection in the supply chain.
ISMS Review
Do you already have an ISMS in place and would like to develop it further? With our consulting services, we review your existing ISMS, identify vulnerabilities, and provide specific recommendations for optimizing and improving security standards.
Creating an information security concept
An information security concept is a strategic document that defines a company’s security objectives, guidelines, processes, and technical measures to ensure information security. The systematic protection of data and IT infrastructures against threats such as cyberattacks, data loss, or unauthorized access is transferred into a concept.
Preparation for certification
We support you in preparing for certification according to the 27001 or TISAX® standards so that you successfully meet all requirements and pass the audit processes.
Prepare for your ISO 27001 certification with our knowledge.
Internal audits for TISAX® and ISO 27001
A structured assessment of your systems is necessary to ensure the security of your information. Through regular internal audits, you can ensure that information security has been successfully implemented and meets the requirements of the authorities and other institutions.
Strategic consulting on information security
Strategic consulting focuses on long-term information security objectives. It defines these goals and helps to achieve them. We consider current threat scenarios and technological developments so that you are always up to date.
Project support and coaching
With comprehensive security consulting, companies can effectively manage the threats to their information security. We use our consultants’ expertise to support and coach your projects to achieve compliance with security-related standards.
Our consultants will support you during the auditing and certification of your ISMS according to ISO 27001 to ensure compliance with the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) requirements.
Employee training and awareness programs
Training your employees is crucial for IT security and information security. Comprehensive training based on BSI IT-Grundschutz strengthens information security management within the company.
Customized training courses continuously improve information technology security. This allows cyber security to be successfully established and maintained.
Business Continuity Management
To ensure that your business processes remain operational even during a crisis, we develop and implement measures to sustain operations during IT failures or security incidents, minimizing disruptions.
Information security documentation
Thorough documentation on information security is crucial for establishing an information security management system (ISMS) in your industry. It includes guidelines, processes, responsibilities, and technical measures that define security standards and serve as a basis for audits, certifications, and the continuous improvement of information security measures.

Needs analysis of the security requirement with the help of a GAP analysis
A needs analysis of security requirements using a GAP analysis is a systematic process in which a company’s current information security measures are compared with the desired or required standards. The aim is to identify vulnerabilities (GAPs) and, based on these, determine the actions required.
The process is explained here in several steps:
We support you in ensuring that all relevant regulations for information security are complied with. Our advice and audit preparation services help you avoid fines and damage to your reputation, while also reassuring your customers and business partners about the security of their data.
1.Definition of the targets
As a first step, the desired objectives are defined that the company wants to achieve about information security. This may refer to specific certification standards (such as ISO 27001, TISAX®) or internal security requirements intended to protect operations and data. These targets serve as a benchmark against which the current measures are measured.
Based on this analysis, we develop measures to improve the protection of your IT infrastructure (IT systems) and sensitive data. This means you are prepared for potential IT security threats and can react quickly to ensure the integrity and availability of information.
2. Assessment of the current status
The next step is to determine the current status of the existing measures. This involves checking which technical, organizational, and procedural security measures are already in place. This concerns
- Technical measures such as firewalls, encryption, and backup solutions
- Organizational measures such as guidelines for handling data, access control concepts, role allocation
- Processes such as emergency and recovery plans, regular security checks
This inventory is often conducted through interviews, document reviews, and system checks.
3. Comparison of current and target status
The current status is compared with the defined target specifications. This shows where deviations exist. In other words, where information security requirements are neither fully met nor implemented. This comparison is the core of the GAP analysis.
4. Prioritization of risks
Not all GAPs are equally critical. Therefore, a risk analysis is carried out in which the security gaps are prioritized according to their threat scenarios and impact on the company. Factors such as the probability of a risk occurring and the potential damage (such as financial losses or reputational damage) are considered.
5. Creation of an action plan
An action plan is prepared based on the identified gaps and their priority. This plan contains concrete steps to close the GAPs. Some examples are:
- Introduction or improvement of access controls
- Implementation of new technical security measures such as firewalls or SIEM (Security Information and Event Management)
- Development and implementation of training programs for employees
