Well-founded assessment of current IT topics

Manage Now - Cybersecurity Whitepaper

Cybersecurity is a board level responsibility.​

Cybersecurity has long since ceased to be a purely IT issue.
Since December 6, 2025, executive management teams and boards in Germany have been personally liable for cybersecurity failures.

This whitepaper provides a clear assessment of your current situation and shows where specific action is required:

• A structured overview of the three key cybersecurity risks
• Specific leadership questions that make critical gaps visible
• The most important regulatory requirements (incl. NIS2 / BSIG §38)
• An overview of technical developments around PKI and post-quantum
• Five key decisions that cannot be delegated

    Challenges

    Many IT organizations face structural challenges

    Skills shortages, increasing regulatory requirements, lack of transparency, and growing complexity make operations more difficult and tie up resources. Decisions slow down, and costs become harder to manage.

    Skills shortage

    The shortage of qualified IT professionals means that ongoing tasks and further development can no longer be handled in parallel. Teams are permanently tied up reacting. We take operational responsibility and standardize processes across SAP, cloud, security, and workplace environments. Internal teams are specifically relieved and can focus on governance and further development.

    Outdated systems

    Legacy and technically outdated systems make operations more difficult and limit further development. Changes are time-consuming, and dependencies are difficult to resolve. Through targeted modernization, clear target architectures, and by linking operations and transformation, we renew systems step by step without destabilizing ongoing operations.

     

     

    Compliance Druck EN

    Regulatory requirements increase the demands on governance, operating models, and technical target architectures. Without clear responsibilities and implementable standards, additional effort, uncertainty, and implementation risks arise. We systematically embed compliance in governance, security concepts, and sovereign cloud and operating models, so that regulatory requirements are not checked retrospectively but considered from the outset.

    Lack of transparency

    Often, there is no reliable overview of systems, dependencies, and risks. As a result, decisions are based on assumptions rather than robust information. We create transparency through centralized governance, consolidated data models, and integrated monitoring and analytics approaches.

     

     

    Complex processes

    Evolved IT landscapes lead to fragmented processes and unclear responsibilities. Coordination increases and decisions are delayed. We reduce interfaces, consolidate responsibility, and establish end-to-end models that bring systems and processes together.

     

     

    Costs and inefficiency

    Costs often arise from a lack of overview and inconsistent processes, not from the technology itself. Efficiency potential remains untapped. Through standardization, targeted automation, and clear governance, we can make costs transparent and create the basis for well-founded decisions.
