What is cyber emergency preparedness?
The risk of cyber-attacks is constant and can affect companies and private individuals at any time. Preparedness for such attacks involves implementing measures and strategies to minimise their impact. This includes preventive measures, which aim to stop attacks from happening, and response strategies, which help to react quickly and effectively to incidents.
Cyber-attacks can take many forms, from phishing emails that aim to steal sensitive information to ransomware attacks that encrypt data and demand a ransom. The consequences of such attacks are often serious and range from financial losses and reputational damage to legal consequences.
It is therefore important to take appropriate measures in advance to be prepared for an emergency. We combine all our services that help you to deal with a security incident in the best possible way under cyber emergency preparedness.
Contingency plans and BCM – keeping an overview in a crisis
If you find yourself unable to respond to a security incident without a plan, you are at risk. It is inadvisable to do so.
In order to maintain control in such situations, it is essential to have appropriate emergency plans and instructions in place. A comprehensive emergency plan can help to minimise damage, maintain operations and speed up recovery after an incident. We are here to assist you in developing a suitable plan for your company.
We would also be happy to support you in introducing a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) according to the BSI standard 200-4. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information. Our experts are at your service.

Cyber maturity assessment – your way toward insurability!
In order to be prepared for any potential emergency, many companies decide to take out cyber insurance. However, due to the increased costs of security incidents, insurers are also placing higher demands on companies.
Have you experienced challenges in the past when attempting to secure cyber insurance? We are here to support you by offering a maturity assessment and ensuring that you are insurable.
Our maturity assessment involves an analysis of your current situation, followed by the creation of an individual action plan to enhance your IT security. We then develop suitable technical and organisational measures to help you sustainably improve your security strategy. Following this, you will be fully insurable.
