From risk analysis to a lived security culture
Cyberattacks cost the German economy over 200 billion euros per year.
The figures are clear: according to the Bitkom study 2024, cyberattacks cause annual damage of over 200 billion euros to the German economy. Two thirds of all companies see their existence threatened by a successful cyberattack. At the same time, regulatory pressure is increasing significantly: NIS2 obliges thousands of companies to implement systematic risk management and holds senior management personally liable.
Our expert consultants provide comprehensive information security strategy services tailored to your organization's specific needs. We combine deep regulatory expertise with practical implementation experience to deliver measurable results.
6 service modules
Bookable individually or as an end-to-end programme.
Development and optimization of information security management systems based on ISO 27001:2022, BSI IT-Grundschutz, or NIST CSF. From gap analysis to certification — including transition to the new 2022 standard with 93 controls in 4 categories.
Design of effective security organizations: CISO role, reporting lines, committees, and decision-making processes. We create structures that clearly assign responsibility and integrate security into corporate governance — as required by NIS2.
NIS2 affects over 30,000 companies in Germany. DORA defines new rules for the financial sector. We analyze which requirements apply to you, identify gaps, and support implementation — pragmatically and audit-proof.
Development of a consistent policy framework: from the overarching security policy through topic-specific guidelines (access management, cryptography, incident response) to operational work instructions.
Strategic planning and implementation of zero trust architectures: identity-based access control, micro-segmentation, continuous verification. We develop an architecture that fits your infrastructure — cloud, hybrid, or on-premise.
What you cannot measure, you cannot manage. We define meaningful security KPIs, build dashboards, and establish review cycles — so that your security strategy does not remain a statement of intent, but delivers measurable results.

4 QUESTIONS, BRIEFLY ANSWERED
Start with a maturity assessment: Where do you stand today? Which regulatory requirements apply to you? Which risks are most critical? On this basis, we prioritize measures and develop a roadmap with quick wins and strategic milestones. ADVISORI offers a structured introductory workshop that creates clarity within 2–3 days.
The industry standard is 5–10% of the IT budget for information security. For the initial strategy development and establishment of foundational structures, you should plan for 50,000–200,000 EUR — depending on company size and maturity level. What matters is not the absolute amount, but the right prioritization: it is better to implement a few measures properly than to pursue everything simultaneously in a half-hearted manner.
This depends on your industry, size, and regulatory situation. ISO 27001 is the international gold standard and universally recognized. BSI IT-Grundschutz is particularly suitable for German companies, KRITIS operators, and public authorities. NIST CSF is a good complement for companies with US operations. TISAX is mandatory for automotive suppliers. In practice, we often recommend ISO 27001 as a foundation with industry-specific additions.
NIS2 requires, among other things: systematic risk management, incident reporting within 24/72 hours, supply chain security, business continuity management, cryptography concepts, and regular training. Particularly relevant: senior management is personally liable and must participate in training. An ISMS based on ISO 27001 already covers the majority of these requirements.
