Advisory for IT security decisions

When security decisions are critical, time-sensitive, or technically complex, a simple provider match is often not enough. Cybernauten offers independent decision support on request — from scope definition to proposal evaluation.

When is advisory useful?

Typical situations:

multiple proposals with scopes that are hard to compare
uncertainty about the depth or methodology of a pentest
preparation for audits or certifications
incident response selection under time pressure
lack of internal security resources for a sound preselection
strategic security initiatives (cloud, platforms, product launches)

Advisory is for organizations that do not want “just any provider” — but need a defensible decision.

Our approach

Technical assessment

Analysis of target systems, attack surfaces, risks, and dependencies — as a basis for realistic scopes.

Scope definition

Help formulating clear requirements so proposals remain technically comparable.

Proposal evaluation

Review of methodology, depth, reporting, and realism — independent of provider interests.

The focus is not on project management or delivery — but on decision quality.

Role and boundaries

Transparency is key:

Included

technical orientation for security initiatives
structuring complex requirements
evaluation of proposals and recommendations
support for internal decision processes

Not included

operational execution of security measures
legal advice
provider representation
project steering or implementation

Cybernauten takes no responsibility for operational security measures or provider performance.

How we work

Advisory is intentionally pragmatic:

clearly defined scope
transparent billing by effort or package
no ties to specific providers
full decision freedom for the client

The focus is on realistic decisions, not theoretical ideals.

Relationship to the platform

Advisory is optional.

Many organizations use only the platform for provider selection.
Others want additional expert guidance.

Both are possible.

Cybernauten remains neutral in every case.
