Cyber security consulting: risks under control

Cyber security consulting: clarity instead of complexity

Cyber security that accelerates your business, not slows it down? Welcome to MaibornWolff. Our cyber security consulting combines resilience, compliance and practical relevance. We analyze risks, prioritize measures and support you until you are ready to make a decision and, if desired, also during implementation. As much as necessary, as little as possible - in the spirit of: Less technology. Better business.

MaibornWolff translates security into tangible decisions

We combine business understanding with in-depth tech know-how. This results in pragmatic, audit-proof security solutions that quickly take effect - with a clear focus on risk, ROI and feasibility.

Fast results

No endless workshops - we bring clarity in weeks where elsewhere slides are still being sorted: prioritized risks, concrete measures and a realistic roadmap. You make more informed decisions - and get from idea to decision measurably faster.

Resilience and compliance

We take a holistic approach to security: target images for clean processes and traceable documentation. The result: resilient in operation and audit-ready - without legal promises, but with comprehensive preparation for audits.

Enablement instead of control

We make your people fit - instead of standing by with a raised index finger. We recommend automated checks and show you how to establish them. In this way, security remains effective without unnecessarily slowing down product development and operations.

Maximum effect, minimum effort

We prioritize measures that really count - saving you budgets and time while noticeably increasing your security level. We only involve you where it makes sense, and we take care of the rest.

We don't see security as an external police force that constantly writes you parking tickets - but as a safety belt that you won't even feel at some point. In this way, you avoid expensive restarts every few years and build up sustainable protection structures.
Jannik Pfeifer, Unit Head Cybersecurity

Who particularly benefits from cyber security consulting

Cyber security consulting is worthwhile for companies that need to secure digital value creation and reliably meet regulatory requirements - from large corporations to highly networked SMEs. Industries with complex supply chains and distributed IT/OT landscapes, such as automotive, manufacturing, energy and insurance, benefit in particular.

Whether cloud transformation, IoT rollout or legacy modernization: we provide orientation, prioritize risks and translate requirements into feasible steps. The result: manageable security that supports time-to-market, prepares audits and keeps operations stable - with clear responsibilities, measurable impact and a focus on economically appropriate measures.

Spoiler: There is no such thing as 100% safety. 50% is prevention - the rest is smart preparation for an emergency.

Do you want to take a pragmatic approach to security and get started right away?

We pick you up where you are - with a compact kick-off, clear priorities and fast results. On request, we can provide the right team and accompany you through to audit-ready implementation.

Our range of services in cyber security consulting

Security chaos? We sort it out! From tool proliferation to legacy ballast: we address typical hurdles in corporate groups and networked environments in a targeted and pragmatic way, for example:

  • Lack of awareness
  • Unclear responsibilities
  • Unclear roadmaps
  • Unclear requirements
  • Fragmented tool landscapes
  • Multi-cloud and hybrid IT
  • Lack of visibility
  • Complex supply chains
  • Legacy and technical debt
  • Roles, rights, access

Absolute security is an illusion: we plan for emergencies (Assume-Breach) and make you capable of making decisions and taking action - even when attacks happen. We respond to this with a focused consulting approach, whether on-prem or in the cloud. In essence, we offer: Methodology, processes, predictability, strategy and enablement.

Frequently asked questions about Cyber Security Consulting

  • What are the goals of cyber security?

    The objectives of cyber security are the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data, systems and processes. Companies should reliably protect their information, prevent manipulation and keep critical systems usable at all times. It is also about traceability, compliance with regulatory requirements and the ability to react quickly and effectively in the event of an emergency.

  • Which areas belong to cyber security?

    Cyber security primarily includes: network protection, identity and access management, end device security, application security, cloud and IoT security, data backup as well as governance and compliance. Comprehensive risk management forms the basis of effective cybersecurity. It is supplemented by continuous monitoring and structured emergency management so that companies can not only prevent attacks, but also respond in a targeted and effective manner in the event of an emergency.

  • How much do cyber security services cost?

    The cost of cyber security services depends heavily on a company's individual requirements. Factors such as the size of the company, the existing IT infrastructure, the desired level of protection and the scope of the services - such as risk analyses, penetration tests, security monitoring or emergency management - influence the outlay and therefore also the costs.

    Basically, a tailor-made security strategy is always an investment in the future viability and resilience of your company.
