Our mission

We automate and simplify Information Security.

We understand the challenges you face. Filling out huge checklists and navigating through Excel sheets is time-consuming and fall short of achieving your goals. What you need is a system that aligns with your company’s philosophy, work approach, and culture. Our collaboration aims to transform your compliance and security journey into an enjoyable experience that brings tangible benefits.

Innovation: Embracing a forward-thinking mindset, we are a cloud-native and remote company ourselves.
Collaboration: Placing our customers at the heart of everything we do, we meet eye-to-eye with your team.
Continuous learning: Cultivating a culture of continuous learning, we stay curious and actively seeking for growth, as well as improvement.

Our experience

A decade of experience in Information Security & ISO 27001

Our Founder & CEO Fabian Weber has gone through every stage and problem within the information security and compliance field.

The beginning: Thesis about ISO 27001

The journey started with earning a B.Sc. in Information Technology. Fabian delved into the realm of information security, culminating in his thesis focused on the implementation of ISO 27001 at the SCALTEL Group. This laid the ground for all the following steps of his career.

Hands-on practice: Implementing an ISMS and building up a Security Team

Implementing an ISMS into an integrated management system and building up a security team, Fabian quickly transitioned into practical roles. He spearheaded the implementation of ISO 27001 being the CISO and IT responsible for an IT service provider. Within a month, the company got successfully certified. Fabian lead the IT team for 5 years and extended the ISMS to the subsidiary companies.

Changing seats: Auditing for Liebherr International

Seeking new challenges, Fabian transitioned into the realm of auditing, working for a global enterprise group with 50.000 employees worldwide. As Corporate IT-Security Specialist and Auditor, he led international compliance & IT-security audits. Additionally, he was responsible for the global cloud security strategy.

Evolution: Managed Information Security for cloud-native companies

Continuing to evolve and adapt, Fabian embraced the growing significance of ISO 27001 simplification and automation. He expanded his expertise to encompass consulting services with a particular focus on assisting cloud-native companies after auditing and implementing multiple ISMS in different industries. His clients achieved a 100% success rate in their first certification and he successfully tackled projects that previously failed under other consultants.

Results of cloud-natives companies

Empowered clients, secure & certified

“The internal audit was planned and performed in a professional way. The quality, depth and comprehensiveness of the audit were outstanding. The auditor (Fabian) especially understood our business needs appropriately. The service outperformed what we have experienced in the past. WHYSEC is our auditor of choice from now on.”

WHYSEC has and been helping us out with our effort to acquire ISO 27001 certification and has greatly contributed to that with their knowledge and know-how within IT-sec. IT security is a large complex field that is undergoing fast development and the support from WHYSEC has been really beneficial for us. I can strongly recommend them."
