Your business model in three sentences

We offer clients a wide range of technical offerings. We provide a virtual CISO service that allows customers to outsource their cybersecurity strategy to a certain degree leading to a more resilient organization.

What problem do you solve?

We solve the problem that SMEs do not have cybersecurity capabilities independently. From our knowledge of the field we also deduct that SMEs do not have the resources (time & money) to build capabilities. We offer a vCISO ecosystem that is a one-stop shop for SMEs to gain resilience in their cybersecurity posture. They can ask for advice and their infrastructure and business is monitored for threats like phishing or defacement campaigns.

What's your digital solution?

We offer an ecosystem where clients can register and book services via this ecosystem via mail, web, or phone. The clients get different solutions and approaches for their cybersecurity problems. We automatically monitor threats like phishing and defacement for our clients if they book in with our vCISO service.

Why should we award you for your digital business model?

Building and maintaining cybersecurity is a process not a stop-and-go project. Our vCISO business model helps SMEs to become more resilient and safeguard their valuables from cybercrime. The service is paid on a monthly basis and with the prize money we would further strengthen this product.
