Cyber Security Check
Test your processes, technology & security awareness
According to the annual report issued by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), the cyber threat level is increasing every year. The financial and reputational damage companies across Germany experienced as a result in 2024 was enormous. So why is this happening?
Why Does a Lack of Transparency Put Your Security at Risk?
Every day, you process, store and transmit a large amount of sensitive information via your company's various IT systems and applications. At the same time, system and application landscapes are becoming increasingly complex. This quickly leads to the risk of losing track of your own cyber security status, for example due to:
- Unclear situation in regards to compliance requirements
- Overlooked admin or privileged access
- Misconfigured firewalls, endpoints or cloud services
- Lack of transparency regarding backup status and integrity
- Unclear responsibilities in the event of security-related incidents
How Can You Regain Control with the Cyber Security Check?
Our Cyber Security Check is a tailored tool that provides you with clarity about your own security level and the associated risks. This is particularly essential in crucial phases, such as:
- During a change in management
- In the context of mergers & acquisitions

- In the context of an audit
