About Paul

I'm a cybersecurity and information security specialist with over 15 years of experience helping automotive suppliers, OEMs, and their partners navigate TISAX assessment, from initial gap analysis through successful label award.

My career is rooted in German industrial sectors and some of Europe's most compliance-demanding environments. I've delivered TISAX-aligned programs for clients including a major European motorcycle manufacturer, and I currently lead global ISO 27001 and TISAX certification across 10+ sites at a multinational materials technology company — with zero major nonconformities across renewal cycles.

I work with organizations that need a clear, structured path to TISAX readiness without the overhead of a large consultancy. Whether you're preparing for your first assessment, responding to customer pressure from an OEM, or aligning an existing ISMS to VDA ISA requirements, I bring both the technical depth and audit experience to get you there efficiently.

I work primarily remote. On-site workshops and audit preparation sessions can be requested within greater Munich/Regensburg. Daily and hourly rates for on-site engagements are agreed in advance and differ from my standard remote rate.
