Which audits we help you pass

Pick your situation or write to us: we will tell you where to start.

  1. 01

    Passing an NIS2 audit (KSC Act)

    What it is

    The EU cybersecurity directive (NIS2). In Poland its requirements are set out in the KSC Act, which covers the protection of IT systems, critical infrastructure and supply chains.

    Who needs it

    Medium and large companies in essential and important sectors: energy, transport, IT services, logistics, manufacturing, digital infrastructure. Whether the act applies to you depends on your sector and company size.

    Result

    Reduce the risk of fines of up to €10M and of personal liability for management.

    We find the technical gaps in advance and show how to close them before the regulator's audit. The measures must be in place by April 3, 2027.

  2. 02

    Passing ISO 27001 certification

    What it is

    The international standard for information security management, ISMS (SZBI in Polish). The certificate confirms that the company has a system for protecting information built to the standard's requirements.

    Who needs it

    IT companies, startups and SaaS services that are moving toward large corporate clients or working with investors.

    Result

    Get your infrastructure ready for certification and reduce the risk of being sent back for rework.

    We work through the technical side of the requirements and collect evidence in advance, so you do not spend budget on repeat audits.

  3. 03

    Passing client and partner checks

    What it is

    When a B2B client sends a long security questionnaire before signing or renewing a contract.

    Who needs it

    B2B companies, vendors and contractors whose large customers require proof of data protection.

    Result

    Protect your deals: answer the client quickly and with evidence.

    We help you prepare honest answers backed by technical evidence, so the deal is not held up by security questions.

  4. 04

    RODO/GDPR technical requirements

    What it is

    The European regulation on personal data protection (RODO in Poland). It sets out how a company stores, processes and protects client and employee data.

    Who needs it

    Any business in the EU that processes personal data: accounts, client databases, HR data.

    Result

    Reduce the risk of data leaks and UODO fines.

    We check the technical side: where data is stored, who has access to it, how backups and logs are protected. This does not replace a legal opinion.

  5. 05

    Security policies and rules

    What it is

    A set of internal documents that define access, incident response and rules for employees.

    Who needs it

    Companies whose auditors, partners or investors have asked for information security procedures.

    Result

    Get a ready set of documents you can show to an auditor or a major client.

    We prepare access rules, incident response plans, backup schemes and AI usage rules for employees.

  6. 06

    Passing a PCI DSS audit

    What it is

    The international security standard for payment card data. Payment networks and banks require it from companies that process, store or transmit card data.

    Who needs it

    Online stores, fintech projects, booking services and other companies that accept online payments.

    Result

    Reduce the risk of being blocked or fined by payment networks.

    We check the technical side of the requirements and find the gaps before the official audit.

What companies come to us with

  • A client sent a security questionnaire, and you have no answers or evidence

    Put together honest answers, back them up with settings and documents, and close the gaps before sending.

  • You have heard about NIS2 but are not sure whether it applies to your company

    Take a self-check and, if needed, assess the technical gaps and draw up a plan.

  • You lack evidence for ISO 27001 certification

    Collect logs, access lists and evidence against the standard's requirements in advance.
