Cybersecurity Audit
Strengthen your digital security: we uncover vulnerabilities, reinforce your security measures and protect your company from cyber threats, following standards such as DIN SPEC 27076 and CIS Controls v8.
No-obligation consultation on technical due diligence, integration, and value creation.
Cybersecurity Audit
Identify vulnerabilities before attackers do
A single security incident can cause millions in damages and irreparably harm client and stakeholder trust. At the same time, navigating thousands of competing security tools is daunting. We conduct rigorous cybersecurity audits that pinpoint hidden vulnerabilities and sustainably elevate your security posture – both within M&A transactions and for ongoing enterprise resilience.
Our Core Areas
An audit reaches deep into the digital infrastructure and uncovers threats to integrity, confidentiality and availability.
Security Architecture & Infrastructure
From network segmentation to cloud configuration: we assess the technical security architecture and uncover vulnerabilities, including backup and recovery strategies.
Access & Identity
We review access management and IAM: authentication mechanisms such as MFA, password policies and permission concepts, the most common attack surface in a company.
Processes & Incident Response
Technology alone is not enough: we assess vulnerability and patch management, incident response and recovery processes, and the security awareness of your employees.
Compliance & Data Protection
We review GDPR compliance, data protection strategy and readiness for NIS2 and ISO 27001, including a clear gap analysis and prioritized action plan.
Our Process
Baseline Analysis & Risk Status
We capture the current state of information security in your company and make the most important security risks visible. Unmet requirements are clearly marked.
Architecture Review & Penetration Testing
We assess security architecture and configurations. For deep insights, from source code to internal architecture, we conduct white-box penetration tests with our partner Cure53.
Measures & Funding Opportunities
You receive specific recommendations for improving your IT and information security. On request, we identify funding programs that can be used for implementation.
Final Report & Awareness
When handing over the report and recommendations, our team sensitizes your company to common threats, so the measures have a lasting effect.
Your Security Report
The final report summarizes all findings in an understandable way: identified vulnerabilities, risk assessment and an actionable remediation plan. Unmet requirements are clearly marked, prioritized measures show the shortest path to a resilient security posture, also as a basis for post-merger security roadmaps in M&A contexts.
