Cybersecurity consulting for SMEs

Q: What does a cybersecurity consulting project involve?

A consulting project consists of three steps: an intake, an analysis of your environment, and a presentation of the findings. You receive a risk report and a cybersecurity roadmap that outlines who does what and when for each measure. We prioritize the order based on your biggest risks and your budget.

Q: Is this a one-time or ongoing service?

The process itself is a one-time engagement for a fixed price (starting at €2,495) that we agree upon in advance. Afterward, you decide how to proceed with the roadmap: implement it with your own IT provider, with us, or a combination of both. If you want your environment to be monitored continuously, Managed Detection & Response (MDR) is the logical next step.

Q: How does this differ from the free scan?

The free cybersecurity scan looks at what is visible from the outside, such as your email security, certificates, and open ports. You don't need to install anything. The consulting process also looks inside: accounts, MFA (logging in with an extra step), workstations, backups, suppliers, and processes. It doesn't just tell you what the risks are, but also the order in which to resolve them.

Q: Who benefits most from this consulting?

For SMEs that want to go beyond ad-hoc measures but don't have an in-house security specialist. For example, if your IT provider manages your systems but doesn't audit them, if a client, insurer, or the Cyber Security Act requires you to demonstrate that your security is up to standard, or if you have recently experienced an incident or a near-miss.

You know your security needs work, but not where to start. Every vendor sells a different product and nobody tells you what matters most for your business. That is what cybersecurity consulting is for.

In plain language

A report your management will read, not just your IT administrator.

What does a consulting engagement involve?

A cybersecurity consulting engagement answers three questions: where are you vulnerable, what should you do about it and in what order. Where security consultancy often ends with a thick report, you end up with a plan you can actually carry out.

We look beyond technology. Processes, suppliers and agreements with employees are part of it too, the wider field of information security. That way you get information security and cybersecurity advice in a single engagement.



Risk assessment

We map where your business is vulnerable: accounts and access rights, email, workstations, backups and the suppliers that can reach your data. For each risk you see how likely it is and what happens if it goes wrong.



Concrete roadmap

We turn the findings into a cybersecurity roadmap: measures with an order, an owner and a deadline. No generic tips, but for each measure who does what and when.



Prioritised by risk and budget

Not everything has to happen this year, and often it can't. At the top is whatever removes the biggest risk for the least cost and effort. That way your budget goes first to the measures that deliver the most. Then you decide which risk to tackle first.

How our cybersecurity consulting works

Three steps, and after each one you have something in hand.

Introduction and intake

A one-hour conversation, on site or online. We ask how your business works, which systems you use, who manages your IT and what worries you. You then get a questionnaire to fill in yourself or together with us. We base the report and advice on your answers.

You get: a proposal with scope, planning and a fixed price

Analysis and reporting

We go through your environment, usually together with your IT provider. Measuring is knowing, so we also run a technical analysis of your environment. Think of your Microsoft 365 settings, your email domain, your backups and who has access to what. Everything we find goes into a report that is easy to follow without an IT background.

You get: a risk report and a draft roadmap

Presentation and next steps

We present the results to you and your management or IT provider and answer their questions. Then we agree on the order together. If you want help with the implementation, we can provide it, but you don't have to.

You get: a presentation and a final roadmap with owners and deadlines

Who benefits most from consulting?

Cybersecurity consulting for SMEs pays off most when you want to go beyond individual measures but don't have a security specialist on staff. You will probably recognise yourself in one of these three situations.

Growing SMEs without an
IT department

You have 10 to 250 employees and an external IT provider that keeps your systems running.



No one is responsible for security



Your IT provider manages your systems, but does not audit them



No insight into where your company is at risk

Companies with new requirements

A client, insurer, or regulation requires you to demonstrate that your security is in order.



You fall under the Dutch Cybersecurity Act (Cbw, the Dutch implementation of NIS2)



Your cyber insurer is sending a questionnaire



A major client is requesting a security audit



You are preparing for ISO 27001, the international standard for information security

After an incident or near-miss

Something went wrong, or it was a close call. You want to prevent it from happening again.



An employee clicked on a phishing email



One of your suppliers was hacked



A fraudulent invoice was paid



Your backup could not be restored

How is this different from the free scan?

The free cybersecurity scan looks at what anyone can see from the outside. The consulting engagement also looks inside and tells you what to do about it. You can easily start with the scan and choose consulting afterwards.

Reviews

We received excellent help from Peakproteqt. After a thorough analysis of our existing ICT situation and our requirements, we received a great proposal tailored to our organization. Everything has now been implemented, and our digital work environment is working to our full satisfaction. Peakproteqt completely unburdens us in the areas of ICT, cloud management, cybersecurity, and network management. This gives us peace of mind and is extremely pleasant for us to work with.

Thanks for delivering all the IT services and securing my workstation (the password manager is ideal!). In my view, Peakproteqt is very knowledgeable, patient, and they can explain everything they do in plain language, which builds trust! I'm happy that everything is taken care of!
