    Cyber Security & Cyber Resilience Consulting for OT/IT Environments

    Cyber Security & Cyber Resilience Engineering

    VektorSchild is the cyber security and cyber resilience unit of Venedix Systems. We support organizations in designing, assessing, and operating secure OT and IT systems — from early architecture decisions to regulatory-ready security management.

    We see security not as a checklist or a document set, but as a technical and organizational capability that must work in real-world environments.

    Testing & Awareness Services

    Effective cybersecurity is not achieved through technology alone - it requires continuous testing of both systems and people. At Venedix Systems, our VektorSchild unit provides practical, real-world testing methods designed to reveal vulnerabilities before attackers do and to strengthen your organization's resilience in measurable ways.

    Phishing Campaigns & Awareness Training

    Human error remains one of the most common entry points for cyber incidents. We conduct controlled phishing simulations tailored to your organization's structure and communication patterns. These campaigns measure susceptibility, identify high-risk areas, and provide concrete data for improvement.

    The simulations are combined with targeted awareness training, enabling employees to recognize social-engineering attempts, suspicious links, and credential harvesting techniques. Over time, organizations typically see a measurable reduction in risky behavior and a stronger security culture.

    SPAM & Threat Traffic Analysis

    Unwanted and malicious email traffic can reveal valuable insights about ongoing attack patterns. We analyze SPAM statistics, filtering performance, and threat indicators to assess how effectively your current defenses handle phishing, malware delivery, and bulk attacks. This evaluation helps optimize mail gateway configurations, improve filtering rules, and detect targeted campaigns that may otherwise go unnoticed.

    Penetration Testing

    To assess technical security, we perform structured penetration tests that simulate real attackers attempting to compromise your systems. Depending on your needs, tests may target external infrastructure, internal networks, web applications, or cloud environments. Our approach focuses not only on identifying vulnerabilities but also on demonstrating realistic attack paths and business impact. The result is a clear, prioritized remediation plan rather than a list of technical findings.

    Security Engineering

    Security engineering is the path from a concrete security problem to a practical, implementable solution.

    Our work starts with understanding your systems. Together with your technical and operational experts, we analyze architectures, interfaces, data flows, and real use cases. From this, we develop structured system models that highlight critical functions, dependencies, and attack surfaces. These models often remain valuable long after the initial project, serving as a living reference for future changes.

    Based on this foundation, we conduct targeted risk analyses. Our methodology is flexible and adaptable to regulatory, organizational, and industry-specific requirements — including CRA, NIS2, ISO/IEC 62443, and internal governance frameworks. Risk analyses can be performed independently or collaboratively. In joint workshops, risk identification also serves as practical awareness training for engineering and operations teams.

    The outcome depends on your needs: a tailored security concept, integration of security into new system specifications, review of existing concepts, supplier security requirements, or focused risk analyses of safety-critical or business-critical systems. Our goal is always the same: effective security that fits your system and your reality.

    Security Management

    An Information Security Management System (ISMS) is only valuable if it works in daily operations.

    We design security management systems that are embedded into your existing structures and processes — not layered on top as a compliance artifact. Starting with a gap analysis, we identify what already exists and build from there. Many organizations already have more security-relevant processes than they realize.

    Our approach aims for rapid operational capability. Within a short time, your ISMS becomes usable, auditable, and actionable. Over time, responsibility transitions to your teams, while we move into a supporting and advisory role.

    Security management must remain technically grounded. That is why VektorSchild closely links management systems with security engineering. We support and train your organization in incident handling, risk management, business continuity, change management, and vulnerability handling — ensuring that governance decisions align with technical reality.

    Where required, we also integrate data protection into security management frameworks, including Privacy Information Management Systems (PIMS) in line with ISO/IEC 27701.

    Vulnerabilities, Incidents & the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)

    Regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) introduce clear expectations on how vulnerabilities and incidents must be understood and handled. In practice, this requires differentiation:

    • General vulnerabilities
    • Exploitable vulnerabilities
    • Actively exploited vulnerabilities
    • Severe security incidents

    VektorSchild helps organizations classify, prioritize, and manage vulnerabilities and incidents correctly — avoiding both overreaction and dangerous blind spots.

    Our Principle

    Effective security must be technically sound, operationally realistic, and organizationally integrated.

    Anything else is paperwork.

    With VektorSchild, Venedix Systems delivers cyber security that works — for engineers, management, regulators, and real systems.
