Implementing NIS-2 Without a Consultant –
with the Selfmade ISMS

Why Selfmade ISMS?

Does this sound familiar?

NIS2, customers are asking about information security, ISO 27001 seems too complex, and consultants can easily cost €20,000–50,000.

Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important for SMEs – and at the same time increasingly complex. Many standards such as ISO 27001, TISAX® or BSI basic protection are helpful, but often too costly or too technical for small businesses. Selfmade ISMS closes this gap: a pragmatic system that you can implement yourself – step by step, with immediately noticeable improvements.

• Quick results: With “quick wins” directly to more security
• Understandable & compact: Ideal for beginners and non-technicians
• Relevant reference to: ISO 27001, TISAX®, GDPR & BSI
• Bonus chapter: VPN, home office and cloud
• Ready for immediate use: Including practical implementation tips
• For the real everyday life of SMEs: No overhead, no blah blah blah
