Cybersecurity Advisory

Cyber security is not about technology. It is about responsibility, decisions, and clarity.

We help organisations understand what matters, why it matters, and who is responsible — before tools or controls are discussed.

A dedicated competence within INGENS

Cyber Security is a dedicated competence area within INGENS — built to be clear, independent, and practical.

This means you get a named scope, transparent responsibility, and advice that is not tied to selling tools or long contracts.

Delivery work is performed by trusted independent specialists under INGENS-defined scope, responsibility boundaries, and quality gates.

  • Clear scope and boundaries (no surprises)
  • Independent thinking (vendor-agnostic)
  • Practical accountability (who owns what)

Areas of responsibility

Security problems rarely arise from missing tools — they arise from unclear ownership, assumptions, and blurred responsibilities.

We separate decision support from day-to-day operations, so you always know what we do — and what stays with you.

Advisory & Decision Support

Advisory work is about enabling informed decisions — not outsourcing responsibility or producing reports that no one uses.

  • Security posture review & cyber risk assessment
  • Policies, procedures, and security governance
  • Compliance readiness (GDPR / NIS2 — advisory scope)
  • Security architecture review (trust zones, segmentation, access)
  • Vendor & supply-chain risk
  • Awareness & practical guidance for teams

Operational Cyber Security & IT Support

Practical security for organisations without internal IT or security teams — with transparent scope and predictable cost.

Packages below define responsibility and scope. They are not promises of “total security”.

If you only need clarity and a plan, start with advisory. If you need ongoing protection, choose an operational package.

Packages & Pricing

Prices below help you understand scope and responsibility before any conversation starts. They reflect typical SME environments and scale with complexity — never by surprise.

Onboarding is one-off and transparent, so the monthly scope stays predictable.

Basic — Establishing a security baseline

€150–€200 / month

  • Baseline endpoint protection
  • Secure access to email and user accounts
  • Regular critical security updates
  • Basic visibility of device and security status
  • Remote security support during business hours
  • Clear, periodic security status reporting

Standard — Active protection and incident readiness

€300–€400 / month

  • Everything in Basic
  • Continuous monitoring of key security signals
  • Email protection against phishing and misuse
  • Controlled backup to reduce data-loss risk
  • Defined incident response in agreed timeframes
  • User cyber awareness session (periodic)

Advanced — Security oversight for complex environments

from €800 / month

  • Everything in Standard
  • Deeper analysis of events and security trends
  • Extended monitoring across the environment
  • Regular review of risk and exposure
  • Decision support for compliance and customer expectations
  • Defined escalation paths for high-impact incidents

Advanced pricing is finalised after initial setup to ensure scope is clear and responsibilities are realistic.

Onboarding & Initial Setup

€500–€2,000 (one-off)

  • Initial discovery of the IT and security environment
  • Identification of key assets and exposure points
  • Baseline configuration of core protections
  • Agreement on responsibilities and communication

Boundaries and responsibilities

Packages define scope, not guarantees. Cyber security reduces risk — it does not eliminate it. Business and legal responsibility remains with the organisation.

We do not replace internal IT or security ownership — we support it within an agreed scope.

  • Scope and pricing change only by agreement — never by surprise
  • “100% security” does not exist
  • Cyber security supports decisions — it does not replace management

How engagement works

A structured process — not a sales conversation.

  • We clarify context, assets, and responsibilities.
  • We agree scope: advisory, operations, or both.
  • We set expectations, boundaries, and a practical next step.
  • Delivery follows the agreed scope — transparently and predictably.

Who this is for — and who it is not

Designed for organisations that value understanding over promises.

Good fit:

  • SMEs without an internal IT or security team
  • Owner-managed businesses that want clarity and accountability
  • Organisations handling customer or operational data

Not a fit:

  • Organisations with an internal SOC or large security team
  • Clients looking for the cheapest “IT outsourcing”
  • Anyone expecting guarantees or “total security”

When Cyber Security is not enough

Some decisions cut across cyber risk, legal exposure, operational constraints, and organisational responsibility.

In those cases, INGENS Consulting provides the decision layer — defining scope, ownership, and risk before technical execution begins.

Before relying on a sense of security

Controls, tools, and policies do not automatically mean that risk is understood.

Are you secure — or only compliant on paper?

Formal compliance may satisfy requirements, but it does not automatically reduce real operational exposure.

What would actually happen if a breach occurred tomorrow?

Real preparedness becomes visible only when impact, ownership, and response are examined together.

Which risks are currently accepted without being named?

Unspoken acceptance is still acceptance. It simply means risk exists without structure or ownership.

Who owns cyber risk beyond the IT function?

If cyber remains isolated inside technical teams, business consequences are often left outside the decision process.

What is protected most carefully — and what is exposed by neglect?

Security maturity is rarely even. Strong controls in one area can hide critical weakness somewhere more ordinary.
