Specific Challenges for Munich-Based Companies
The Munich economic region is dynamic, innovative and highly competitive. Your success depends not only on your performance, but also on the trust of your customers and partners. Do you recognise yourself in these challenges?
High Competitive Pressure
In one of Europe’s most innovative and competitive economic areas, every advantage counts. A security incident not only costs money, but also valuable time and the hard-earned technological edge over direct competitors.
Strong Industries, High Standards
Munich is a hub for automotive, insurance, high-tech and SaaS. Your customers and partners in these industries have the highest expectations when it comes to data security. Can you demonstrate that you can meet these expectations in order to stay in the race?
Reputation in the Local Market
A good reputation in the Munich area is crucial for business success. A well-known data leak can permanently damage this trust and make it difficult to attract new local talent, customers or investors.
Our pentest methodology – tailored for Munich
very company in Munich is unique – from global automotive suppliers to agile SaaS start-ups in the Werksviertel district. A standard test does not do justice to these differences. That is why we specifically analyse the digital attack points that are most relevant to you, be it your customer portals, mobile apps or the underlying cloud infrastructure.
Our approach combines automated scans for efficiency with the creative, manual analysis of our experts to find the logical vulnerabilities that tools overlook.

In Practice
From Compliance Pressure to Selling Point
Challenge:
An innovative Munich-based software company wanted to sell its management solution to customers in the financial sector. The biggest hurdle: without independent proof of the application’s IT security, it was impossible to meet the strict compliance requirements (e.g. according to DORA) and gain the trust of this security-critical industry.
Solution:
Lutra Security was commissioned to conduct a comprehensive penetration test of the software. Our focus was on finding the type of critical vulnerabilities – in particular authorisation and injection errors – that would have been a deal breaker for potential customers in the financial sector.
Result:
Our detailed report enabled the customer to fix all vulnerabilities found within a few weeks. With the final test report in hand, the company was able to demonstrate its proactive security strategy. This was the decisive factor in winning the first pilot projects in the financial sector and transforming IT security from a hurdle into a compelling selling point for the demanding Munich market.
