Reality Check for cyber, IT and AI risk

Make digital dependency governable

For the director whose tender, key client or own board asks for evidence.

An independent judgement for executives and boards on what must not stop, what can go wrong and where the evidence is missing. So that you can act on your risks.

Discuss your question

Erik Hartwich, founder of Hartwich Risk & Resilience

Reality Check from €1,999 excl. VAT.
Three tiers: what you assume, what your documentation proves, what holds.
From an evidence map to a full board memo.

For organisations that recognise this

A lot is in place. Yet your question remains unanswered.

Everything you hear about cyber, IT and AI is right, piece by piece. Together it does not answer your question, because nobody has asked it.

I answer that question, so that you can act on it.

See how it works

What you gain

After a Reality Check you know what your confidence rests on, and where it ends.

That changes what you do.

You spend money on risk, not on reassurance

A contract you do not renew, a tool you do not buy, someone you do not need to hire. What you do not need, you do not buy.

You take the decision that was left waiting

A decision stalls because the picture is incomplete. Afterwards you see what is established and what is open. That is enough to decide, even when the answer is uncomfortable.

You explain why you are confident

To your fellow directors, your supervisory board, your insurer or your customer. Not because your supplier says so, but because you had it tested.

You ask your supplier the questions, instead of the other way round

You know what to ask, and you notice when an answer does not come.

Whether this holds for your question too becomes clear in a first conversation.

Discuss your question

Approach

I start with your question and bring the evidence back to it.

Your question

I start with what is business-critical, not with a standard or a checklist.

The line of enquiry

What must not stop? What does it depend on? Who is accountable? What can go wrong? What is in place? Where is the evidence?

The judgement

I bring the evidence back to your question and say what it means as a whole.

It takes a few conversations with me and nothing you do not already have. You receive a judgement on paper you decide on, from an evidence map to a full board memo.

Why Hartwich Risk & Resilience

I have no stake in the outcome.

I am Erik Hartwich. For more than thirty years I have built and run, myself, what businesses depend on. I know the business and I know the operations.

After a Reality Check I have nothing to sell you. No tools, no implementation, no follow-up that hangs on the findings.
