Cybersecurity consulting
Cybersecurity consulting services from the team that secures your AI
KDS started as a cybersecurity consultancy, and we still protect the rest of your business: cloud, networks, applications and people. You work with senior engineers who find the weaknesses that matter, explain them in plain language and help you fix them.
What you get
- Security assessments and penetration testing
- Part-time security leadership (virtual CISO)
- Incident response plans and drills
- NIS2 and Cyber Resilience Act preparation
Cybersecurity consulting sized for your company
Growing companies need senior security expertise long before they can justify a full security team. We fill that gap. We assess where you stand, fix the highest risks first and give you a roadmap your budget can support.
Our AI security work adds a second benefit. When your teams start using AI tools and agents, the engineers who already know your infrastructure test and secure them too.

Security assessments
We review your cloud, network, identity and endpoint setup against established frameworks and rank the gaps by risk and by the effort to fix them.
Penetration testing
We test your web applications, APIs, cloud and internal network the way an attacker would, report each finding with evidence and a fix, and retest after you apply it.
Virtual CISO
A senior security leader works with your team part-time. They own the security roadmap, answer customer security questionnaires and report to your leadership.
Incident response planning
We write your incident response plan, define who does what and run tabletop exercises, so your team knows its role before a real incident.
NIS2 and Cyber Resilience Act preparation
We map your obligations under the EU's NIS2 Directive and Cyber Resilience Act, close the gaps and prepare the evidence regulators and customers ask for.
Security awareness training
Short, practical sessions on phishing, social engineering and safe AI use, built around the tools your staff use.

Security work touches sensitive systems, so we agree on the rules before we start.
- A written scope and rules of engagement before any test.
- An NDA before you share details.

Cybersecurity consulting FAQ
What does a virtual CISO do?
A virtual CISO is a part-time chief information security officer. They set your security strategy, manage risks, answer customer and auditor questions and guide your team, at a lower cost than a full-time hire.
How often should we run a penetration test?
At least once a year and after major changes, such as a new application, a cloud migration or a large new integration. Some regulations and customer contracts set their own schedule.
Do we need to comply with NIS2?
NIS2 applies, through each EU country's national law, to medium and large organizations in the sectors it lists, and to some providers regardless of size, such as DNS and trust service providers. It can also reach you through customers who must secure their supply chain. We check whether and how it applies to you.
What does the Cyber Resilience Act require?
The Cyber Resilience Act sets cybersecurity rules for products with digital elements sold in the EU, mainly for their manufacturers. Reporting of actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents has applied since September 11, 2026. Most other requirements apply from December 11, 2027.
Do you work with companies outside the United States?
Yes. We work with clients worldwide, except in countries and regions under U.S. sanctions, and deliver our services remotely.
