What is IT security consulting?

Consulting is a process in which an IT security expert reviews and evaluates a company's IT security. Potential weak points are identified and recommendations for improvements are made. The goal is to protect the company from cyber attacks and ensure that company data and IT systems are protected from unwanted access.

Responsibilities of IT security consulting

The areas of responsibility of a consulting mandate can vary depending on the company and its requirements. However, generally they include the following areas:

Risk assessment

A risk assessment is an important first step. It's about identifying potential threats and assessing their impact on the company.

Security check

As part of the security check, IT systems and infrastructures are checked for misconfigurations and potential points of attack. This also includes checking firewalls, antivirus software and other security components.

IT security strategy

The IT security strategy determines how the company wants to protect its IT systems and infrastructure. This also includes developing security policies and procedures.

Training and awareness raising

Training and awareness-raising measures are an important part of the IT security strategy. Employees must be informed about the risks of cyber attacks and know how to act in a security-conscious manner.

Incident management

Incident management is an organization's ability to respond to security incidents. This also includes the development of emergency plans in order to be able to respond quickly and effectively to security incidents.

Why do SMEs need IT security consulting?

Small and medium-sized companies are just as at risk as large companies when it comes to cyber attacks. In fact, they are often even more vulnerable because they typically do not have the resources and expertise to effectively protect their IT systems and infrastructure. Targeted advice can help SMEs improve their IT security and uncover possible problem domains.

By identifying potential vulnerabilities and implementing security measures, SMEs can reduce the risk of data loss and cyber attacks.
