What is the Gap-to-Certified lifecycle?

It is our proprietary methodology that takes companies from their current security posture to full certification (TISAX, ISO27001) by identifying gaps, implementing controls, and supporting the final audit.

Do you offer outsourced CISO roles?

Yes, we provide outsourced CISO, DPO, and ISMS Manager roles to help organizations maintain compliance without the overhead of full-time executive hires.

How long does TISAX labeling usually take?

The timeline varies based on maturity, but typically ranges from 4 to 9 months including gap analysis, implementation, and the final assessment audit.

One puzzle piece is missing from the circle, while a separate red illuminated piece labeled "TISAX® Requirements – Not Fully Addressed" sits beside it, visually emphasizing the gap between ISO 27001 certification and additional TISAX requirements. The scene conveys enterprise cybersecurity, trust, and the need to close remaining compliance gaps.
