/ 02 AUDITS AND LICENSING

Audits and licensing
without the stress.
Paperwork and regulator meetings? Handled.

Before the Czech National Bank (ČNB) grants a license or comes to inspect, it wants proof that your policies, contracts and systems are in order. We go through everything with you in advance, fill the gaps and sit beside you at every meeting.

  1. We check where you standContracts, policies, IT – what complies and what doesn't.
  2. We prepare the documentsLicense application, policies, registers and contracts.
  3. We guide you through ČNB meetingsWe answer the regulator's questions and track deadlines.

/ 03THE PROBLEM

Paper isn't enough.

Consultants write you policies that nobody ever implements in your systems. IT firms deploy tech that doesn't match the regulation. But the regulator wants both – plus proof that the controls actually run.

That's why our documents, implementation and evidence all come from one team.

Consulting firmdocuments, no delivery
IT vendortech, no regulation
Security Labone team, one accountability

Evidence = logs of who accessed your systems and when, tested backup restores and incident records. Exactly what the regulator asks for during an inspection.

/ 11CYBERSECURITY

Attacks won't wait
until you're ready.
That's why we watch 24/7.

You don't need to understand the tech. Just know that someone watches your systems day and night – and if something happens, they act at once and send you a clear update.

WHAT WE STOP

Encrypted data and ransom demands

An attacker locks your data and demands money. Known as ransomware.

Tested backups – restore operations in hours, not weeks.

Fraudulent emails and invoices

Your accountant gets an “urgent payment order from the CEO.” Known as phishing.

We filter email, train your people and send them practice phishing emails.

Client data leaks

Sensitive data ends up online – and with it, the trust of clients and the regulator.

Encryption and instant alerts on suspicious behavior.

Service outage

Apps or payments stop working and clients leave for competitors.

Failover and a crisis plan: who does what in the first hour.

Compromised access

A stolen password, or a former employee's account nobody closed.

Two-factor login and regular reviews of who has access to what.

/ 13 COMMON QUESTIONS

What you ask us most often.

Don't see your question? Write to us. We reply within 24 hours – on weekdays, usually the same day. Ask a question
Does DORA, NIS2 or MiCA apply to us?

It depends on your license type and the services you provide – and whether you supply ICT services to financial entities. In a free 30-minute consultation, we'll tell you which regime applies, what type of entity you are and what that means for you.

We're a small company. Are we really a target?

Yes. Attackers often go after smaller financial firms – they handle money and tend to have weaker defenses. Most attacks are automated and don't pick targets by size.

Are you a law firm, consultants or an IT company?

We're a compliance and IT partner: we deliver both the regulatory work and the technical implementation ourselves, and we take responsibility for it. We're not a law firm – if you need legal services in the strict sense, we'll tell you and recommend next steps.

We have policies and ISO 27001. Start from zero?

No. We build on what works and only fill the gaps. ISO 27001 is a good foundation for DORA but covers only part of the requirements – typically missing are the ICT vendor register, contract clauses and resilience testing.

Is paperwork enough for the regulator?

No. During an inspection, the regulator wants to see that protection actually works: logs of who accessed systems and when, tested backup restores and incident records. That's why we deliver the tech too and collect evidence continuously, not a week before the inspection.

Do we need an in-house CISO and compliance officer?

Not necessarily. Virtual roles cover the obligations for a fraction of the cost of two senior hires. As you grow, we'll help you hire an in-house team and hand over the work smoothly.

How fast can you start?

We can usually hold the consultation within a week; the audit starts within [X] weeks of signing and takes 8–16 weeks depending on scope. If a register filing deadline is looming, tell us right away.

Where is our data, and does AI see our contracts?

Data stays in the EU, on infrastructure segregated from other clients. We never use your contracts to train models, and a human reviews every AI output before it reaches you.

You're a new company. Why trust you without references?

The company is backed by founders with 14 years of experience and our own IT infrastructure. We'll sign an NDA before the first meeting, show you anonymized deliverables, and offer our first clients preferential terms in exchange for a reference.
