The Challenge

Security challenges facing modern organizations

DORA, NIS2, KRITIS, ISO 27001. The requirements are complex and constantly evolving. Non-compliance leads to fines, operational shutdowns, and reputational damage.

Experienced security professionals are scarce and expensive. Teams are understaffed and overstretched. One resignation can leave a critical gap.

Security is now a boardroom topic. Regulators and executives demand clear answers. The pressure to demonstrate control has never been higher.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our services and approach.

Timeline depends on your current maturity level, but typically 3-6 months for full KRITIS or NIS2 compliance. We start with a rapid gap assessment (2 weeks) to give you a clear roadmap. Organizations with existing security foundations often achieve compliance faster. We've helped critical infrastructure operators meet tight regulatory deadlines when others said it couldn't be done.

Great - we build on what you have, not replace it. Our first step is always a thorough assessment of your existing investments. We identify what's working, what needs optimization, and where the gaps are. Most enterprises have 60-70% of what they need; we help you close the remaining gaps efficiently without wasting your previous investments.

We integrate seamlessly with your current setup. Our consultants have hands-on experience with Splunk, Palo Alto, CrowdStrike, Microsoft Sentinel, and most enterprise platforms. We work alongside your team - not around them - transferring knowledge and building internal capability. Think of us as an extension of your security team, not a replacement.

Three things: speed, specialization, and hands-on execution. Big 4 firms give you a 200-page report and leave. We deliver working solutions. Our team comes from SOC operations and critical infrastructure - we've built and run the systems we now help you implement. You get senior experts directly, not junior consultants learning on your dime. And we're typically 40-60% more cost-effective.
