A big purchase or tender
A second opinion before the signature. Without it, a poor fit gets paid for twice: once to buy, once to rebuild.
Ideally you contact us while the contract is still unsigned and the order not yet placed. The IT bill keeps growing, every supplier has its own version of events, and nobody in-house can referee between them. We translate the situation into kroner and timelines, so management can see which step comes first and the reasoning behind it.
One looks ahead at where you want to go. The other scrutinises the estate you already operate.
Our starting point is the business plan for the next 12-24 months: new sites, growth, new products, acquisitions. We turn it into concrete changes to systems and operations. The outcome is a roadmap in which each step has a cost, a rank and the prerequisite it depends on.
Are your systems doing the job you acquired them to do? Where are the hidden weak points, and which component gives way when traffic doubles? We also weigh vendor lock-in: how many others in the market could take over if your current partner walked away?
Bringing in outside eyes is not always necessary. These are the situations where it nearly always earns its keep.

We assess the current state and handover risks. Without it, you take over an undocumented setup shaped by choices you never made.
We establish whether and how you are in scope. Management is personally accountable for cyber security and needs an overview it can stand behind.
We draw up a plan with headroom. Otherwise you hit the ceiling in a year, just when it hurts most.
An outsider sets the bids side by side. Without that, the cheapest bid tends to win over the most suitable.
Let us be upfront about our own bias. A supplier that both uncovers the problems and sells the fix is not impartial by nature. That is why the cost estimates in our reports reflect typical Danish market levels, not Apply's tariffs, and you are free to hand the follow-up work to any other supplier.
Talking to people takes up far more of the schedule than looking at configurations. Problems typically stem from habits and workflows, seldom from hardware specifications. Interviews and meetings take place on Teams.
Directors get one session; the staff who work in the systems from nine to five get another. The gap between those two stories is often the key finding.
We examine the architecture, licences, supplier contracts and how much critical knowledge depends on a single colleague.
Every finding is scored twice - the damage it does today and the price of removing it. You end up with an ordered plan rather than a list of good intentions.
We do not just email the report. We go through it page by page with the leadership team on a video call and answer questions as they come up.
No. The assessment is a technical inventory covering hardware, licensing and weak spots. Consulting is about choosing a direction, so it begins with your commercial goals. Many clients book the two back to back.
Quite common, and not a problem. Our conversations are with the owner or CFO, framed in kroner and deadlines instead of jargon. The technical material is kept in an annex.
Yes. We determine whether the company is an essential entity, an important one or out of scope, map the gaps against the requirements and plan risk management, incident reporting and supplier oversight. Management gets a basis for decisions it can approve and follow up on. We work along ISO 27001 principles but do not issue certification.
That does occur, for instance when a platform bought a few months ago turns out to miss the mark. We say it plainly, then lay out alternatives, including routes that keep some of the money already spent working for you.
It depends on scope and depth, usually two to six weeks of work. The hourly rate is DKK 895 excl. VAT, though most clients opt for a fixed price, quoted once an introductory Teams meeting has shown us how many systems and people are involved.
Let us know which decision lies ahead and what is causing doubt. We will agree the depth of the review and propose a format.
Thank you for getting in touch
