Our Five Pillars of Cybersecurity

QESTIT operates as a specialised cybersecurity consulting firm, not a generalist provider. Our service catalogue is structured around five buying categories that match how CISOs and procurement teams actually plan their cybersecurity programmes — from advisory work and offensive testing through secure development, virtual CISO services, and AI security.

Advisory & Audit

Navigate the complexities of global mandates such as DORA, NIS2, KRITIS, FINMA RS 2023/01, and ISO 27001. Our cybersecurity audit and security architecture consulting teams help you build governance structures that transform compliance from a hurdle into a competitive advantage.

  • Regulatory readiness — DORA, NIS2, KRITIS, FINMA, BSI C5
  • Standards implementation — ISO 27001, ISO 42001, IEC 62443
  • Enterprise risk assessment and threat modelling

Offensive Security & Penetration Testing

We think like the adversary. Through application security testing, simulated attacks, and deep-dive vulnerability assessment, we expose weaknesses before they can be exploited. Our penetration testing services combine automated tooling with senior consultant expertise — and align with TIBER-EU and DORA threat-led penetration testing (TLPT) requirements where applicable.

  • Web, API, network, mobile, and cloud penetration testing
  • Red, Blue, and Purple Team exercises
  • Threat-led penetration testing (TLPT) under TIBER-EU
  • Continuous vulnerability management programmes

Secure SDLC

Security is not a final step; it is a foundation. We embed application security testing and secure coding practices into every phase of your development lifecycle — design, build, test, deploy, and run.

  • Threat modelling and architecture security review
  • SAST / DAST / SCA integration into CI/CD pipelines
  • Secure coding training aligned with OWASP Top 10 and OWASP LLM Top 10
  • DevSecOps maturity assessments

vCISO & Compliance-as-a-Service

Not every organisation needs a full-time CISO. Our virtual CISO and Compliance-as-a-Service offerings give you senior security leadership at the right level of engagement — from board reporting and risk programme oversight to hands-on coordination of audits and incident response.

  • Virtual CISO retainers (part-time / project / interim)
  • CISO transition coaching and succession support
  • Compliance programme management as a managed service
  • Board and audit committee reporting

AI Security

With the EU AI Act high-risk deadline arriving on 2 August 2026, AI security has moved from emerging topic to mandatory programme. We help you secure your AI initiatives end-to-end — from model lifecycle and data pipelines to governance and EU AI Act compliance documentation.

  • EU AI Act readiness and high-risk classification support
  • AI/ML model security and adversarial robustness testing
  • ISO 42001 implementation
  • AI governance frameworks aligned with NIST AI RMF
  • Post-quantum cryptography migration planning

Vendor-neutral by design

We are not a reseller. Our recommendations are driven exclusively by your security and compliance objectives. This is the foundation of our credibility and a deliberate strategic choice.

02/04

Group reach, specialist depth

As part of QESTIT Group, we deliver across seven countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, France, Egypt, Saudi Arabia). Our cybersecurity division operates as a focused specialist unit - not a sideline of a generalist consultancy.

03/04

Continuous Vulnerability Management

Structured, scheduled vulnerability assessment cycles with prioritised remediation guidance. We define what is realistic to monitor, on what cadence, and with what response - and we deliver against those commitments.

04/04

Regulatory agility

Rapid adaptation to new regulations through our cybersecurity audit practice. Our consultants have led DORA, NIS2, EU AI Act, and FINMA readiness programmes for clients in regulated industries since these frameworks were drafted, not adopted.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sets QESTIT’s approach apart?

We combine offensive “hacker” mindsets with defensive “architect” precision, and we operate vendor-neutrally. Our cybersecurity services are scoped to your environment and risk appetite, not to a vendor catalogue. Every engagement begins with risk-based prioritisation rather than a tooling discussion.

How is QESTIT Cybersecurity different from a managed security service provider (MSSP)?

MSSPs operate continuous monitoring services on your behalf. QESTIT Cybersecurity is a specialist consulting and assessment provider: we strengthen your security programme, run targeted offensive engagements, and support your CISO with vCISO and compliance services. For continuous SOC monitoring, we work with selected operational partners under transparent governance.

Do you support DORA threat-led penetration testing (TLPT)?

Yes. Our offensive security team is structured to deliver TLPT engagements aligned with the TIBER-EU framework, with the appropriate separation between threat intelligence, red team, and white team functions.

How do you handle EU AI Act readiness?

We support both Provider and Deployer obligations under the EU AI Act, including high-risk classification analysis, technical documentation, conformity assessment preparation, and ongoing AI governance. AI Literacy obligations under Article 4 have been in force since 2 February 2025; the high-risk deadline is 2 August 2026.

Where do you deliver cybersecurity engagements?

From our offices in Hamburg, Stuttgart, Görlitz, Vienna, Zurich, Paris, Malmö, Cairo, and Riyadh, we deliver across Europe, Switzerland, and the GCC. Engagements are led by senior consultants based in the relevant regulatory jurisdiction.

Schedule a Maturity Assessment Today.

Modern security architectures assume that the perimeter has already been compromised. QESTIT Cybersecurity helps you make that transition pragmatically, from where you are today, with the regulatory deadlines you are facing, on a roadmap that fits your operational reality.
