Security that doesn't slow down your business

For us, honest cloud security consulting doesn't start with the tool, but with the real business value. We don't provide you with 100-page reports for the drawer, but a crisp, prioritized list of measures. This enables you to justify budgets on a sound basis and know exactly where the problem really lies.

Less technology. Better business.

Your benefits from professional cloud security consulting

Quick to clarity

In just a few days instead of weeks, you receive a structured risk overview with clear priorities. The results are prepared for management and formulated in such a way that they can also be understood and decided upon outside of IT.

Plain text instead of technical jargon

We deliver an actionable list of measures with transparent costs, high benefits and all dependencies. Cloud-native controls are used where they really make sense - without any technical baggage.

From concept to operation

We ensure that security concepts remain realistic and operable in day-to-day business. The focus is on IAM, zero trust and incident response - accompanied by an implementation that can withstand the rigors of day-to-day business.

Knowledge that stays

We don't make ourselves irreplaceable, but pass on knowledge in a targeted manner. With our workshops and open source tools, we empower your team to simply rock cloud security themselves in future - without dependencies.

Thanks to the in-depth expertise of the MaibornWolff team, we were able to meet the IT security requirements in a short space of time. The collaboration with our team worked well, as the security engineers responded flexibly to requirements. On the basis of the threat analysis, we can also plan how we can position ourselves for the future in terms of IT security.

Cloud security is an issue when...

  • ...your IT landscape has grown "organically" over the years (and you lack an overview).

  • ...regulatory requirements hang over you like the sword of Damocles.

  • ...you want to know where the real risks lie instead of just having abstract compliance discussions.

  • The result: C-level and staff units know where the fire is. Your teams receive the necessary orientation and know exactly what to do next.

Quick clarity: your cloud security assessment in just a few days

We record your situation, consolidate existing information and deliver a prioritized list of measures with an economic assessment. Minimal effort for your team, maximum clarity for your decisions.

Cloud security consulting clearly structured, effectively implemented

Cloud security needs orientation instead of actionism. In our approach, we combine a holistic view of your IT landscape with clear prioritization according to risk and impact. The result is well-founded decisions and actionable measures - from the initial classification to sustainable anchoring in operations.

Pragmatic & risk-based approach

We don't start with tools or catalogs of measures, but with your actual risks. Instead of going through possible security measures and looking for suitable risks, we first analyze your critical assets, real threats and the impact on your business. On this basis, we develop prioritized, comprehensible measures - without unnecessary complexity.

Cloud security assessment: identifying risks, prioritizing measures

We record your situation, consolidate existing information and deliver a prioritized list of measures with an economic assessment. Minimal effort for your team, maximum clarity for your decisions. Whether the results are used for a migration or to secure the existing situation - you gain focus without unnecessary technical baggage.

Risk Assessment

We analyze your cloud risks based on business processes, data and realistic threat scenarios. The assessment is carried out in a comprehensible manner according to the impact and probability of occurrence. The result provides a basis for well-founded decisions instead of abstract compliance discussions.

Security architecture in existing buildings

We look at the existing cloud structures and security foundations. The focus is on identities, access models and the question of whether basic security mechanisms have been properly implemented. The aim is to identify weaknesses in established structures and avoid unnecessary or incorrectly prioritized measures.

Dealing with security incidents

We examine how security incidents are recognized and handled today. The focus here is on existing monitoring and the handling of security incidents. The background to this is that many companies have deficits here despite using the cloud and only recognize the need for action after an incident.

Frequently asked questions about cloud security consulting

  • When is the right time for a cloud security consultation?

    Ideally before major migrations, platform changes or the productive use of sensitive data. In practice, however, many companies approach MaibornWolff after a security incident, during audit preparation or under regulatory pressure. Cloud security consulting is useful both preventively and reactively.

  • Is cloud security different from traditional IT security?

    Not fundamentally. Cloud security follows the same security principles as traditional IT security. The difference lies less in the what than in the how: in cloud environments, existing weaknesses - for example in access rights or monitoring - become visible more quickly. It is therefore crucial to carry out thorough groundwork instead of developing new security concepts.
  • Is cloud security also relevant for smaller companies?

    Yes, especially when cloud services map business-critical processes or personal data. This often includes seemingly harmless applications such as file and data exchange platforms, online translation tools, collaboration software, CRM or accounting systems from the cloud. Even smaller organizations benefit from clear access models, clean IAM and transparent risk assessment - often with manageable effort.
  • Can cloud security also be implemented sensibly in multi-cloud environments?

    Yes, but it requires a consistent security model across multiple providers. Consistent principles for IAM, logging, monitoring and incident response are crucial. Cloud security consulting helps to bridge differences between platforms and make complexity manageable
