      Developing a security strategy, strengthening cyber resilience

      Cyber security has become a management task. Companies are facing a threat situation that is becoming more technical, more organised and more economically relevant. Cybercrime affects not only IT systems, but also business processes, supply chains, customer trust and regulatory responsibility.

      A resilient security strategy helps management to prioritise risks, target investments and anchor cyber resilience in the company. For many organisations, professional security consulting is thus becoming the decisive lever for combining protection measures, governance and operational responsiveness in a meaningful way.

      Steering cyber security strategically: from security strategy to cyber resilience

      Cyber security describes the organisational, technical and procedural measures that companies use to protect digital assets, systems and information from attacks, misuse and breaches. A security strategy that fits the business model and is linked to the corporate strategy is crucial.

      We support companies in making cyber risks transparent, prioritising them and establishing effective protection mechanisms. Our security consulting not only looks at individual technologies, but also at governance, processes, responsibilities and control mechanisms. This creates a resilient framework that strengthens cyber resilience and combines security requirements with operational feasibility.

      Our topics in cyber security consulting

      • Security strategy and governance

        A sustainable cyber security model starts with clear responsibilities. We advise you on the development of a security strategy, governance structures, objectives and decision-making channels that anchor cyber security in management. This includes role models, risk reports, control frameworks and interfaces with compliance, data protection, IT and specialist departments.

        It is particularly important for management boards and executive boards to assess cyber risks in a comprehensible manner. Our security consulting helps to translate technical risks into business impacts and create a basis for decision-making on investments, prioritisation and control.

      • Protection against cybercrime

        Attacks caused by ransomware, phishing, identity theft or compromised service providers often affect companies where processes, authorisations and systems are not sufficiently coordinated. Effective protection is therefore not achieved through additional tools alone.

        We provide support in the evaluation of existing protection measures, in the hardening of critical systems and in the further development of security architectures. A particular focus is on identity and access management, vulnerability management, cloud security and securing digital supply chains.

      • IT security models and cyber resilience

        IT security models must be comprehensible, testable and scalable. They should not only prevent attacks, but also strengthen cyber resilience: in other words, the ability to react quickly to incidents, limit damage and keep business operations stable.

        We support you in the development and review of security strategies, target architectures, control models and security processes. This includes maturity analyses, security concepts, technical controls and coordination with regulatory requirements. The aim is to achieve a level of security that reduces risks and at the same time supports ongoing operations.

      • Incident response and crisis capability

        When a cyber incident occurs, preparation, speed and clear communication determine the damage. Many companies have emergency plans in place, but have not tested them sufficiently or linked them to management processes.

        We provide support in setting up incident response structures, in crisis training and in preparing for technical, legal and communication requirements in the event of an emergency. As a result, cyber security is not only understood as a protective function, but also as part of corporate resilience.

      • Regulation and verifiability

        Regulatory requirements for cyber security are increasing. Companies increasingly need to document and review security measures and be able to provide evidence of them to regulators, customers or business partners.

        We advise you on categorising relevant requirements and implementing them in controllable processes. We ensure that evidence is not created in isolation, but is integrated into governance, risk management and operational security processes.

      We provide holistic support

      We support you from the initial assessment to the ongoing development of your cyber security. Our experts combine technological expertise with regulatory understanding, industry knowledge and experience in complex transformation programmes.

      We work together with your management, IT, compliance function and specialist departments. This results in solutions that are technically resilient, organisationally compatible and usable in day-to-day business. Our security consulting aims to effectively implement your security strategy and anchor cyber resilience in your company in the long term.

      Frequently asked questions

      Cyber security consulting covers the analysis, planning and implementation of measures to protect digital systems, data and processes. This includes security strategy, governance, technical security, incident response and regulatory compliance.

      A security strategy creates clear priorities for cyber security and combines technical protection measures with business objectives. It helps management to comprehensibly assess risks and build cyber resilience in a targeted manner.

      Cyber resilience describes a company's ability to prevent cyber attacks, respond to security incidents and continue business operations in as stable a manner as possible. This is achieved through coordinated processes, clear responsibilities and regularly reviewed security measures.

      IT security models structure responsibilities, controls and protective measures. They help companies to systematically assess risks and implement a security strategy in a comprehensible manner.

      We support companies with prevention, risk analysis, security architecture and response to cyber incidents. Our security consulting strengthens cyber resilience and aligns measures with the respective business model.
