Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services
My FAQ page provides quick and clear answers to the most important questions about my services, payment terms, and work processes.
What services does MaZe-Consulting offer?
I am happy to advise you on a variety of topics. My primary areas of focus are information security and cybersecurity, based on my professional and certified expertise. I take into account both technical solutions and regulatory requirements (NIS2 assessment and implementation), as well as awareness training and customized training programs.
What payment options are available?
I accept payments via bank transfer or credit card/Apple Pay (through SumUp or Upwork). At this time, I am still exempt from sales tax under the small business exemption (§ 19 UStG).
What is NIS2, and does it affect us as an SME?
The NIS2 Directive is an EU cybersecurity regulation that also affects many small and medium-sized enterprises (potentially indirectly through the supply chain). Among other things, it requires clear security measures and a structured approach to managing IT risks. Through a brief assessment, we’ll determine whether your company is affected and outline the most important next steps—in a clear, practical way and without unnecessary hassle.
What is the current availability?
Since I’m currently working part-time, it depends on the workload and the current status of the project. I offer my services either as a one-time project or on an hourly basis for retainer/maintenance agreements, particularly for web content and social media content management.
What does the AI Integration service include?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not just a passing fad, but essential for making your work processes more efficient and staying competitive. Using and integrating this technology frees up capacity for core tasks that AI cannot handle. I’ll explain how AI works, what integration and usage options are available, and what you need to consider in terms of information security.
Are in-person appointments also available?
My work is conducted entirely remotely. In very rare cases, a brief on-site visit may be arranged on an individual basis.
What does the Social Media service include?
59% of the population aged 16 to 74 in Germany actively use social media (Source: Federal Statistical Office). This means we’re talking about several million potential recipients of your advertising. A smart content strategy can reach these audiences both organically and through targeted campaigns. Together, we’ll review the social media platform of your choice (Meta, TikTok, or Google/YouTube) and develop a plan to increase your visibility and reach. Alternatively or in addition, I can also assist you with setting up a suitable website, including domain registration, hosting, and an email package.
Are there any references?
Since I have only just started my freelance work, you can currently find my initial references at the links below. References related to information security can be supported by employment references upon request.
