WLAN planning and analysis

We plan and evaluate WLAN infrastructures in all project phases – from predictive simulation and on-site site surveys to validation measurements after commissioning. Our measurements are carried out using professional measurement technology and spectrum analysis in the 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz bands. This is how we ensure stable, comprehensive and high-performance radio coverage.

We check existing WLAN environments specifically for faults, performance bottlenecks and optimization potential.

Enterprise network technology

We plan, structure and support the development of complex enterprise networks for companies and public clients. The focus is on client separation, high availability and BSI baseline protection-compliant network architectures that also meet NIS2 requirements. Our concepts are based on modern design principles and take into account current best practices for redundancy, segmentation and operational security.

With over 25 years of practical experience, in-depth “hands-on” know-how and our own IT laboratory, we accompany projects from the concept phase through planning and tendering to implementation and operational support.

Electronic locking systems

We develop and plan electronic locking systems to increase physical security – especially for KRITIS environments. The aim is to replace traditional master key systems with modern, centrally managed and scalable access solutions. Our services include market research, concept development, planning, tendering and project support through to commissioning. This provides operators with a future-proof, economical and audit-proof access organization.

Security architectures and firewall design

We design security architectures in accordance with the requirements of BSI basic protection and the NIS2 guideline. The focus here is on segmentation, multi-level firewall design and the integration of secure authentication procedures.

Our planning also takes into account the current requirements for systems for attack detection (SzA) in accordance with the IT Security Act and the Reporting Obligations Ordinance (BSI-MeldPV), so that operators can meet their legal obligations technically and organizationally.

Server and storage technology

We plan customized server and storage solutions for enterprise environments – from the classic 3-tier approach to hyperconverged infrastructures (HCI) and private cloud operations. Our services include design, planning, tendering, profitability assessment and migration concepts. The goal is a high-performance, scalable and economically viable IT platform.

Risk analysis and safety assessment

We carry out risk analyses to varying degrees – from targeted investigations of individual applications or infrastructure areas to comprehensive risk analyses in accordance with the requirements of the BSI baseline protection compendium and the NIS2 guideline. The aim is to systematically identify technical, organizational and operational risks (gross risk), evaluate them and derive suitable risk mitigation measures (net risk). In doing so, we record both existing vulnerabilities and potential attack paths and assign these to the respective protection requirements. The results are documented in a comprehensible manner and can be transferred directly to management systems such as Verinice. Our risk analyses thus form a reliable basis for security concepts, network segmentation, firewall protection measures and the fulfillment of legal compliance requirements.

IT expert opinions, analyses and hardware investigations

Expert office

Publicly appointed and sworn expert office for IT hardware

As a publicly appointed and sworn expert for information technology, I provide expert opinions on IT systems, hardware components and network infrastructures. The focus is on the investigation of technical defects, damage assessment and the analysis of complex IT structures in the corporate and public authority environment.

Expert reports are prepared for private clients as well as for courts – always documented in a comprehensible, objective and court-proof manner.

Investigations in our own IT laboratory

In our laboratory, we examine IT hardware and mobile devices such as notebooks, tablets and smartphones for damage caused by glass breakage, moisture, pressure or bending. We use precise measurement and analysis technology (including microscopy) to identify causes and document the results in detail. In this way, we create a reliable basis for technical and legal assessments.

Technical analysis of video material

We also carry out technical checks on video files, for example to identify objects, persons or vehicle license plates. Orders in connection with sexual offenses are generally not accepted.

SOLUTIONS

PREVIOUS CHALLENGES

Optimization of enterprise networks to avoid broadcast storms

Many enterprise networks, especially those in critical infrastructures (KRITIS), are based on architectures from the 1990s that have merely been expanded over time, but not fundamentally modernized. Today, technologies such as spanning tree and VLAN are reaching their limits when it comes to efficient bandwidth utilization, rapid recovery in the event of disruptions and coping with increasing complexity. Particularly problematic are broadcast storms that are difficult to localize and can significantly impair the operation of important processes.

Implementation:

A complete technology change would be too complex and cost-intensive for many public bodies. Instead, a step-by-step migration to a modern network technology was developed that builds on the existing VLAN structures while ensuring a high level of security and resilience. This design has already been successfully implemented and rolled out for public clients.

Successful procurement of IT solutions

The successful implementation of digitization projects often requires the procurement of new IT systems or the modernization of existing hardware
and software solutions, such as network technology, server and storage solutions or firewalls. The challenge lies in ensuring that the vendor-neutral solution put out to tender meets the specific requirements and processes of the public client. How can this be achieved in a public procurement procedure?

Implementation:

The technical specifications are precisely determined through a precise requirements analysis and integrated into the tender specifications. This ensures that there are no unpleasant surprises after procurement and during implementation. With many years of experience and in-depth knowledge of the market of providers, manufacturers and technologies, project success is guaranteed at an economical price.

Planning with practical experience

In IT, it is often not enough to simply plan functionalities in theory. To ensure that a solution works under real conditions, it may be necessary to carry out tests in a laboratory or a proof of concept set up specifically for the use case before a decision is made on a company-wide rollout.

Implementation:

Networks, servers, WLAN and other IT environments can be set up, tested and evaluated together with the client in our own laboratory. Alternatively, they can also be set up directly on the client’s premises. The targeted use of practical expertise ensures that the environment can be put into operation stably and reliably.
