Because your employees aren't liable. You are!

Attacks on your company are prepared where your security has no visibility. Scematiq uncovers what attackers are actively preparing against you, and gives your teams the tools to take countermeasures in time.

Fourassumptions. Allfourwrong.

Most executives have delegated cybersecurity internally. That makes sense. But it doesn't protect you from what happens outside.

01

"That's what my CISO is for."

Law: NIS2 § 20

Your CISO is responsible for implementation within your system boundary. Legal liability lies with the board and management, personally and directly. Your CISO doesn't see what's being prepared against you in hacker forums, darknet markets, and at your suppliers. Scematiq makes exactly that visible.

02

"That's what we have cyber insurance for."

Law: Insurance Law

Fines and sanctions under NIS2, DORA and CER are explicitly not insurable. Regulatory violations remain with you personally, regardless of any policy.

03

"We have firewall, EDR, a SOC contract."

Law: CER / RKEG

These tools see what happens internally. Ransomware, malware and data breaches are prepared externally: in hacker forums, in your supply chain, via compromised service providers. No internal tool has visibility there. Scematiq operates exactly there.

04

"We don't fall under NIS2."

Law: Corporate Law

The duty of care for managing directors applies always – regardless of NIS2 or DORA. Negligent omission of adequate IT security establishes personal liability. Additionally: Affected third parties (customers, partners) can claim damages directly against you under GDPR Art. 82.

Your IT protects what's inside . Attacks are prepared outside .

In closed forums, on your suppliers' infrastructure, in compromised supply chains. No internal tool sees there. Scematiq operates exactly there and delivers curated insights, not raw data.

"Security reacts. External intelligence prevents. The limit of your internal visibility is not the limit of your risk."

No one is too small. No one too unimportant.
