Our approach

Many executives see security as an expense. We see it as an investment: a good cybersecurity strategy protects your company, strengthens customer trust, and helps you meet regulatory requirements. You learn exactly where the real risks are and what steps come next.

01

Security audit: a clear assessment of your risks

You learn exactly what vulnerabilities exist and what real impact they have on your business.

02

A personalized action plan

Prioritized by urgency, impact, and budget.

03

A strategy everyone understands

Simple solutions you can apply immediately, without useless theory.

04

Long-term support

We can stay at your side through implementation too.

Our consulting services

For companies with compliance obligations (SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001), we cover the full set of requirements as well.

Assessment and testing

  • Security audit

    The complete X-ray: what risks you actually have, what you are paying for nothing, and what is missing. The starting point for any security decision (and the first step frameworks like SOC 2 and NIST CSF call for).

  • Penetration testing

    We attack before someone else does: we test in practice how well your systems hold up, with a clear report on what we managed to break and how to close it.

  • vCISO

    An experienced security executive without the cost of a full-time hire: strategy, priorities, and accountability, at a fraction of the cost.

Immediate protection

  • Cloud & M365 Security

    Your data in Office 365, Teams, and OneDrive is the first target. We secure it completely.

  • Email Security

    90% of attacks arrive by email. We stop phishing, malware, and business email compromise.

  • Backup & Recovery

    When ransomware hits, the right backup is the difference between 2 hours and 2 weeks of downtime.

Long-term resilience

  • Security Training

    We turn employees from the weak point into the first line of defense.

  • Incident Response Planning

    A clear plan for “what we do when it happens,” not improvisation.

  • Third-Party Security

    We vet your vendors too, because many attacks come in through them.

Control and visibility

  • Identity & Access Management

    You know exactly who has access to what. No surprises, no former employees with active passwords.

  • Monitoring and alerting

    You see attacks in real time, not 6 months later when it is too late.

  • Vulnerability Management

    We find and close the doors before hackers find them.

Results from real projects

What actually changed for our clients

BEC attack stopped in 4 hours

The attackers had active access to the email systems at The Lovely Works and were threatening to shut the business down. We cut off their access within the first hours, and the company resumed operations without major losses.

~EUR 70,000 saved per year

A complete security audit redirected costs that were not buying real protection toward measures with impact. The company now has a better security posture than before the audit, on a smaller budget.

The HIFENCE team working together with a client team

“A large client sent us a security questionnaire some 40 pages long, and we realized we could not seriously answer half of the questions. That is how we got to HIFENCE, for an audit. Beyond the answers, they also found subscriptions and licenses we had been paying for nothing for years - those alone covered the cost of the audit several times over. And I was able to present the report to the board without calling anyone in to translate it for me.”

Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical consulting engagement take?
It depends on the complexity of your company. In general, it takes between 6 and 24 weeks, but we adapt the process to your needs and timelines. For companies that want ongoing support, we can also set up a recurring monthly engagement.
What does a security audit include and how long does it take?
The audit covers infrastructure, access, configurations, backup, and the services you pay for - what risks you have and what you are paying for without getting protection in return. It usually takes 2–4 weeks, depending on the size of the company, and ends with a risk-prioritized report written in the language of business decisions, not jargon. It is the same audit that serves as the first step toward frameworks like SOC 2 or NIST CSF, or toward the requirements of your cyber insurer - you do it once and use it in all three directions.
Do you recommend specific technologies or vendors?
No. We are independent - we recommend the solutions that best fit your company, not what a vendor wants to sell. Our team has experience with the top security technologies across every major domain.
How do you balance security with business operations?
For us, good security does not mean roadblocks - it means supporting day-to-day work. That is why our recommendations focus on measures that deliver maximum protection with minimal impact on the way your team works. You stay protected without sacrificing productivity.
Can you help after the consulting phase too?
Yes. Many clients choose to keep working with us through implementation. We can provide technical support, testing, and even hands-on involvement in projects.
How do you handle new types of attacks?
We use up-to-date threat intelligence and adapt our recommendations so that your security plan is always ready for what comes next.
