How Cybernauten Works
Cybernauten helps companies make well-founded IT security decisions - structured, independent, and without a sales agenda.
What Cybernauten does
Classify security needs, clarify scope, and propose suitable providers - so decisions become comparable.
What Cybernauten is not
No agency, no marketplace, no sales operation. No pay-to-play listings, no rankings for a fee.
When it makes sense
When scope, risks, and offers are unclear - for example for pentest, incident response, ISO 27001, or customer requirements.
Who Cybernauten is for
Typical roles
- IT leadership, CISO, security owners
- Executive teams with risk or liability pressure
- Procurement when offers must be technically comparable
Typical situations
- Audit, certification, customer requirement, or go-live
- Security incident or elevated threat level
- Multiple offers, but unclear scopes and deliverables
Focus: mid-sized and upper mid-sized companies in the DACH region - where decisions must be fast and internal security resources are limited.
Why Cybernauten exists
In many projects, security decisions fail not because of technology, but because of missing clarity: too many providers, offers that are hard to compare, unclear scopes, and time pressure from audits or incidents.
Comparability
Requirements are structured so offers become truly comparable - not just on paper.
Realistic scopes
Focus on scope fit and reliable deliverables - instead of vague promises.
Independence
No sales agenda. Selection based on technical suitability and specialization.
Professional background
Cybernauten is run by a small team with backgrounds in IT security, consulting, and technical project work. Experience includes:
Penetration tests
and red teaming for mid-sized and large companies
Support for
ISO 27001 certifications
and ISMS rollouts
Incident response
, forensics, and crisis management
- Security audits and technical due diligence
We do not optimize for “pretty PDFs”. We optimize for decisions that hold up internally: clear scopes, clear responsibilities, clear results.
How a request works
Step 2
Assessment
We clarify scope, goals, and constraints. If needed, we follow up with targeted questions.
Step 3
Provider suggestions
You receive 2-3 suitable providers - including a short rationale for scope fit.
Step 4
Your decision
You decide whether and with whom you want to speak. No follow-up pressure, no commitment.
Typical turnaround time: 1-3 business days for the first response.
Our way of working
Technical assessment
We review target systems, attack surfaces, criticality, and dependencies - as the basis for realistic decisions.
Clear scopes
Requirements are phrased so offers stay comparable and expectations are explicit.
Neutral selection
Forwarding to a few specialized providers - no generalists, no mass distribution.
Scope and responsibility
- Structuring IT security needs
- Technical assessment of complex requirements
- Curated preselection of specialized providers
- Support for decision-making
- Operational execution of security measures
- Legal advice
- Provider representation
- Project management or implementation
Cybernauten assumes no responsibility for operational security measures or provider services.
Neutrality and transparency
Providers are not listed because they pay. There are no pay-to-play listings and no rankings for a fee. Recommendations are based on technical suitability, specialization, and scope fit.
If Cybernauten receives a referral fee in individual cases, it does not influence the selection. This is communicated transparently.
Frequently asked questions
How does Cybernauten make money?
In some cases, through a referral fee from service providers or separately agreed decision support. Selection and recommendation are based solely on technical suitability.
Am I required to hire a recommended provider?
No. You decide entirely. Cybernauten connects you with providers - you stay in control.
What does it cost to use the platform?
Submitting a request is free for companies. Optional decision support is agreed separately.
Does Cybernauten work with all providers?
No. We only consider providers that deliver specialized services, transparent methodology, and realistic scopes.
How is my data handled?
Your request data is used only for processing and not sold. Providers receive only the information needed for an offer - and only with your consent.
How quickly will I receive a response?
Typically within 1-3 business days. For urgent cases, please note this in the free-text field.
Optional decision support
Some companies want additional support for complex initiatives - for example for scope definition, assessing multiple offers, or technical evaluation of recommendations.
- Refine scope definition and requirements
- Compare offers and make differences understandable
- Prepare internal decisions
No project management. No operational implementation. Just independent guidance tailored to your situation.
