You know this

A security project is coming up. You request offers. What comes back:

Provider A

”Comprehensive pentest”EUR 12,000

Provider B

“Holistic security analysis”

EUR 45,000

Provider C

”Vulnerability scan with report”EUR 8,000

Three offers.
Which is the right one? Which is overpriced? Which one even tests what you need?

Core problem: Without someone who can read these offers technically, you decide blind.


We read for you

We regularly review security offers - from small SaaS setups to complex, regulated environments.
We keep seeing the same patterns: unclear scopes, incomparable services, marketing terms without substance.

Define scope

We translate your initiative into a clear scope - so all providers price the same thing and you can truly compare offers.

Break down offers

We show what is actually included, where assumptions are hidden, and where services are missing or inflated.

Straight talk

No diplomacy, no provider grace period. You get an honest assessment of which offer makes sense - and which does not.


Typical situations

  • Incident response retainer - what should the contract really cover?

  • Commission a pentest - but which scope is realistic and sensible?

  • ISO 27001 certification - which advisor fits your company size?

  • Cloud security review - who truly understands your architecture?

  • Red team assessment - necessary or overkill?

Whenever security budget meets unclear offers, we are the right address.


What we are - and what we are not

We are
  • → Independent security experts
  • → Translators between business and technology
  • → Sparring partners before a decision
We are not
  • → Providers of pentests or audits
  • → Brokers with commission
  • → A long-term advisory retainer

The process

1. You reach out
Via form, one minute.
2. Short call
We understand your initiative, you our approach.
3. Scope definition
If needed. Usually 1-2 hours, remote.
4. Evaluation
Written, clear, and traceable.

5. Decision: Yours. With substance behind it.


What it costs

Billed by effort, transparently. We give you a range as soon as we understand your initiative - usually in the first conversation.

No retainer

No minimum term

No surprises


Why we can do this differently

Cybernauten runs a platform for security service providers.
Advisory is deliberately separate.

Our platform lives on trust and comparability - not on individual deals.
We have no reason to recommend the most expensive provider. Or any specific one.

Our recommendation is what it should be: independent.
