Free Initial Consultation on IT Security

Clarify Your Security Questions in a Personal Conversation

Are you facing a concrete decision in IT or information security? Wondering whether a penetration test, a red teaming engagement, building an ISMS, or implementing regulations like DORA, NIS2 or CRA is the right next step? In the free initial consultation, you get an independent, well-founded assessment – directly from an experienced security consultant, with no sales detour.

What you take away from the call:

  • Clarity – An honest assessment of your situation and suitable solution paths
  • Concrete next steps – Tailored to your situation, not generic recommendations
  • Transparency on effort and cost – We outline the effort and budget range for a potential project during the call itself
  • A dedicated contact person – If further work follows, the same contact person stays with you throughout the process

The initial consultation is fully free and non-binding. You decide afterwards, in your own time, whether and how to proceed.

Three Steps to Your Initial Consultation

1. Book a slot

Choose an open slot from the calendar. A short description of your question helps us pick the right contact person for you.

2. Have the conversation (15–45 min.)

An experienced consultant takes time for your questions. You get an honest assessment of your situation and a recommendation on possible next steps.

3. Decide at your own pace

On request, you receive a brief summary of what was discussed and an outline of possible solution paths. If you’re interested, we’ll prepare a tailored proposal. If not, the engagement ends here – no obligation.
