CRA consulting
Making security risks visible - before it's too late
Cyber attacks are constantly increasing in frequency and complexity. This makes it all the more important to identify, assess and close security gaps at an early stage.
A cyber risk assessment (CRA) is a structured analysis of the IT risks in your organization. It provides clarity about threat situations, vulnerabilities and potential impacts - and forms the basis for well-founded decisions in the security strategy.
Our CRA consulting supports you in carrying out risk-based analyses and deriving suitable measures - individually, practically and in compliance.

A CRA is a structured analysis of potential IT and cyber risks. It assesses how likely an incident is and what impact it would have - with the aim of identifying vulnerabilities and planning suitable protective measures.
A CRA is a strategic assessment - it evaluates risks at an organizational and technical level, often document-based and interview-based. A penetration test, on the other hand, is a practical examination of security gaps in systems that are specifically exploited.
A CRA is particularly helpful:
- before the introduction of new IT systems or applications
- when preparing for ISO 27001, NIS2 or TISAX®
- after major changes in the IT landscape
- as a regular risk assessment as part of an ISMS
We are guided, among other things, by:
- ISO/IEC 27005 (risk management for information security)
- Methods from the BSI baseline protection
- Individual threat models (e.g. STRIDE, DREAD)
The selection depends on your environment and objective.
This depends on the desired scope: Everything is possible, from a compact risk quick check to a comprehensive threat analysis of entire infrastructures. We scale the effort and depth to suit your needs and resources.</p
At least once a year or in the event of relevant changes, e.g. new systems, processes, regulatory requirements or recognized security incidents. Regular updating increases effectiveness.</p
