The missing link.
Modern cyber risks no longer arise internally – but from external dependencies, authorized access, and software supply chains. This shifts responsibility directly to management level.
Five questions every decision-maker must answer.
NIS2 and DORA shift liability to management level. Ignorance no longer protects – it establishes liability.
Is it known which external parties are technically communicating with the company?
Can it be proven that no attack is being prepared through supply chains?
Is there an independent instance that technically validates security investments?
Is risk management proactively steering or primarily reactively documenting?
Is compliance documentation not only available, but operationally implemented?
Risk arises in the connections.
Not in your own systems – but in the dependencies between them.
Standard software creates shared attack surfaces.
Market-leading cloud, ERP, and security solutions: one vulnerability affects thousands of organizations simultaneously. Standardization saves costs – and creates systemic risk.
Authorized access as an entry point.
Remote maintenance access, external services, and authorized integrations create attack surfaces outside your control. These connections appear compliant – and are risk regardless.
Governance does not end at the network boundary.
Software supply chains shift control outside your own infrastructure. Security investments must cover external dependencies.
The blind spot in classic security models.
Internal security only sees what happens inside your own infrastructure. Attack surfaces arise outside.
- EDR / XDR / SIEM
- Firewall & Perimeter
- Vulnerability Management
- Compliance Documentation
Visibility limited to own infrastructure
- Threat actors & campaigns
- Supply chains & software artifacts
- Attacker infrastructure & C2
- Cloud ecosystem & partners
Proactive, independent risk perspective
From external verification to operational governance.
External findings only become effective when translated into decisions, processes, and responsibilities.
Prioritization over alarmism
Not every vulnerability is a risk. We show where action is required – prioritized and explainable.
Auditable decision foundations
Documentable assessments for board, supervisory board, and audit. Explainable, defensible.
Supply chain validation without questionnaires
Technical verification of external dependencies based on real threat data. No self-assessments.
Liability protection through evidence
Proof of due diligence to regulators, insurers, and supervisory bodies.
Observation before first contact
Threat actors and campaigns are observed before contacting the company.
Targeted budget prioritization
Security investments based on validated decision templates instead of the watering-can principle.
Compatible with existing governance structures.
External verification complements internal security controls with an independent view of risks outside your own infrastructure.
