Gain a clear view of your most important IT risks and a prioritized action plan. Practical, understandable and without unnecessary scare tactics.
What the IT security check gives you
The assessment gives you a reliable basis for understanding risk and planning sensible next steps.

Concrete next steps ordered by urgency, impact and implementation effort.
Discuss the findings
A personal review meeting with room for questions and informed decisions.
When is an IT security check worthwhile?
Security issues rarely come down to one major flaw. More often, several small uncertainties have accumulated across a growing IT environment.
What we review together
We agree the scope before starting, focusing on the areas that genuinely matter for your environment.
Passwords and access rights
Secure password use and storage, sign-in methods, administrator accounts, and internal and external access.
Email and Microsoft 365
Baseline protection, sharing, configuration and common phishing risks.
Devices and updates
Patch levels, protective controls, legacy devices and technical ownership.
Backup and recovery
Backup design, separation and the practical ability to restore operations.
Network and attack surface
Exposed services, remote access, connections to the internet and between network areas, and sensible separation of important systems.
Organization and incident management
Responsibilities, documentation and clear procedures for an emergency.
The IT security check is carried out by an employee certified to ISA/IEC 62443. Technical testing is performed only with your written authorization. Before starting, we agree which systems and areas will be reviewed.
What you receive after the check
You do not receive a difficult technical report without context, but a clear basis for deciding what to do next.
- A summary for management and responsible teams
- Risks ranked by urgency and potential impact
- Immediate actions for the first 30 days
- Recommendations for the continued development of your IT, including effort and dependencies
- A clear record of areas that are already appropriately protected
How the IT security check works
Transparent, clearly scoped and without unannounced interference with your systems.
Initial call
We discuss your starting point, the structure of your IT, your objectives and a sensible scope.
Framework and authorization
Together, we define which systems and topics are reviewed, which access is required and where the boundaries of the assessment lie.
Security check
The agreed technical and organizational areas are assessed systematically.
Findings and action plan
We prioritize the findings and discuss practical next steps with you.
A factual assessment, not fear-based selling
Good IT security starts with a realistic assessment. We therefore identify existing strengths as well as areas that need attention.

Frequently asked questions about the IT security check
How much does an IT security check cost?
The effort depends on your organization, system landscape and agreed scope. After the no-obligation initial call, you receive a transparent quote with clearly defined services.
How long does the security check take?
Depending on the scope, a compact assessment can be completed and evaluated within a few days. We agree the exact schedule with you before starting.
Does the check have to take place on site?
An on-site visit is usually useful for the first appointment because it helps us understand your processes, systems and physical environment properly. We still tailor the approach to your needs. By agreement, individual checks and follow-up appointments can also be carried out remotely.
Will you actively attack our systems?
Not without explicit authorization. Active technical testing is described, limited and documented in advance. We do not perform unannounced tests.
Is the security check a penetration test?
No. The security check covers several technical and organizational areas to provide a prioritized baseline. A penetration test is a separate, deeper technical assessment with a different scope.
Do we receive a tangible result?
Yes. You receive a clear assessment with prioritized risks, immediate actions and medium-term recommendations, followed by a review meeting.
Can you help implement the recommendations?
If requested, we can support individual measures. You decide which actions are handled internally, by existing providers or together with us.
Would you like to know where action is most urgent?
In a short initial call, we establish whether the IT security check fits your situation and what scope makes sense.
