What Tanum consult does

Tanum consult GmbH is a Munich-based IT consulting and managed services firm founded in Hamburg in 2001 and relocated to Munich in 2010, operating as a privately held subsidiary of the dierckgroup. The company delivers an integrated portfolio of four core service lines: Professional Services covering the full IT project lifecycle (needs analysis, integration, training, operations); Managed Services for ongoing operation of servers, networks, endpoints, Microsoft 365, and backups across on-premises, cloud, and dedicated deployment models; Managed Security Services including MDR, vulnerability management, and backup hardening; and IS-Management covering ISMS implementation, risk analysis, and compliance with ISO 27001, BSI Grundschutz, NIS2, and KRITIS. Specialized offerings include OT-Sicherheit for industrial control systems and the BSI-certified CyberRisikoCheck (DIN SPEC 27076) priced at approximately 800–1,200 EUR for SMEs, plus a Cyber-Resilienz consulting line.

Underlying technology is multi-vendor and manufacturer-neutral, centered on Fortinet (Advanced Partner status, FortiGate/FortiManager/FortiAnalyzer/FortiExtender/FortiSwitches), Rapid7 (insightEDR for SIEM/EDR/NDR), Microsoft 365 administration, and Veeam for backup. The firm is ISO 27001 certified (TÜV NORD), holds IDW PS 951, and is a participant in the BSI Allianz für Cyber-Sicherheit. The go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven: a direct sales team (Vertrieb, Inside Sales), enterprise field sales for large accounts, and an annual partner event ("Cyber Threats & Treats") with Fortinet, Okta, Bitdefender, and Rapid7; over 90% of services are delivered remotely.

Customers span German SMEs (via CyberRisikoCheck), large enterprises (a documented European pharmaceutical SD-WAN transformation across hundreds of sites and 1,000+ devices), regulated organizations (NIS2, KRITIS, DSGVO), and OT/industrial companies. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the team is small (1–10 employees per firmographics, ~13 named staff on the leadership page). No funding rounds or external investors are reported.
