A practical security baseline
for European SMEs.

Petr Pospíšil // Cybersecurity Architect & vCISO

I help European SMEs get security that is organised, defensible, and genuinely used - a practical baseline you can show customers, with ISO 27001 or NIS2 added only when you really need them.

The Problem

It's not a security problem. It's a "where do we start" problem.

  • A customer questionnaire arrives, and no one can answer it.
  • Little real security in place, and no starting point.
  • Tools get bought to suit the vendor, not the business.

That is chaos, not security.

The Solution

One senior owner for the whole picture

One retained partner to assess, prioritise, implement, and prove - every month. Senior ownership on call, not a full-time hire.

Vendor-agnostic and open-source-first. The fix is simpler than vendors admit: basic policies, basic processes, steady improvement - new tools only when they earn their place.

How We Work Together

Retained Security Partnership

Security is not bought once. It is owned, reviewed, and improved over time. The core engagement is a retained partnership - always a continuous collaboration, never a one-off project.

Advisor, architect, and engineer on demand

Senior security ownership without hiring a full-time CISO. I set priorities, review architecture, guide implementation, and keep ISO 27001 or NIS2 work grounded in practical security. The programme moves forward every month - final business accountability stays with management.

Where to Start

Start in three steps

The clearest first step is the same for almost everyone: spend about four minutes on the Security Path Discovery, send me the result, and book a short call - or email it with your questions. Once I can see your actual situation, the advice is specific rather than generic.

  1. Step 1

    Run the discovery

    Four minutes, no signup. It maps your situation to a framework path and flags the regulations that apply.

    Open the discovery
  2. Step 2

    Send the result

    Share the output and your questions by email. The more context I have, the more useful the first reply.

    Email your result
  3. Step 3

    Book a call

    We walk through it together and agree the next step - usually the retained partnership.

Fixed-Scope Projects

Came for one specific thing?

These are one-time projects with a fixed scope and a fixed price. You can order any of them without a retainer. The retainer is different by design: always a continuous collaboration, not a project with an end date.

A scoped penetration test of your web application or API, with findings you can act on.

View scope & pricing

Testing of AI assistants and LLM features for prompt injection, data leakage, and abuse.

View scope & pricing

A configuration and privilege review of Active Directory and Microsoft 365.

View scope & pricing

A realistic phishing campaign that measures how your people actually respond.

View scope & pricing

Interactive sessions for executives, boards, and technical teams that build real-world judgement.

Explore workshops

A guided incident scenario that tests your decisions before a real crisis does.

Explore exercises

Any project can lead into the retainer later. Need a one-off opinion instead? Ad-hoc consulting is available by the hour, but it is not how I prefer to work - in two or three hours I can barely understand your environment before the engagement ends. ISO 27001 and NIS2 work always runs through the retainer.

Leadership

If customer questionnaires, ISO 27001 readiness, enterprise sales, or NIS2 scope questions are creating pressure, let's turn them into a practical assessment, roadmap, and implementation rhythm.
