How it works

Cybernauten helps companies make well-founded IT security decisions - structured, neutral, and without marketing noise. This page explains how the platform works, our role, and what you can expect.

Background

In practice, IT security decisions rarely fail because there are no providers -
but because scopes are unclear, results are hard to compare, and first talks are marketing-driven.

Typical situations we see:

  • many providers, but no clear orientation
  • bold promises, few tangible results
  • unclear boundaries between pentest, incident response, red teaming, etc.
  • time pressure due to audits, incidents, or go-lives
  • no internal security expertise for pre-selection

Cybernauten was built for exactly these decision situations.

Not a marketplace.
Not a price comparison.
But a structured decision platform.

Our approach

🧭 Need before provider

We start with your situation: goals, risk, timeline, dependencies.

🔍 Curated pre-selection

Requests are sent to a small number of specialized providers - not broadcast.

📐 Clear scopes

Structured requests make offers comparable, realistic, and technically clean.

Our focus is decision quality, not reach or lead volume.

Step by step

1) Submit a request

Describe your situation, e.g. pentest, incident response, audit prep, or an active incident.

2) Structuring

We refine and technically frame the request so it is actionable for providers.

3) Matching

The request goes to 1-3 suitable specialists - not generalists.

4) Direct contact

Providers contact you directly. You decide how to proceed.

Responsibilities & boundaries

Transparency matters. So clearly:

What Cybernauten does
  • Structuring IT security needs
  • Curated pre-selection of specialized providers
  • Reducing wrong decisions
  • Orientation on complex security topics
What Cybernauten does not do
  • no legal advice
  • no operational delivery
  • no price negotiations
  • no guarantees on provider choices

Cybernauten is not a service provider, but a decision aid.

Neutrality & selection criteria

Providers are not listed because they pay,
but because they:

  • offer clearly defined services
  • are demonstrably specialized
  • deliver structured results
  • work with realistic scopes

There is no pay-to-play listing
and no preferential treatment for money.

Who this platform is for

Cybernauten is built for companies that:

  • have a concrete IT security need
  • are under time or decision pressure
  • do not want long provider screening
  • value clarity over marketing

Not suitable for:

  • pure price comparisons
  • anonymous tenders
  • “just looking around” requests

Conclusion

Cybernauten does not replace security teams
or service providers.

But it helps you make the right decision at the right time.
