Lachenmair.info IT Consulting

What Lachenmair.info IT Consulting does

Lachenmair.info IT Consulting is a German sole proprietorship founded in 2008 by Peter Lachenmair, operating as a boutique IT security and data science consultancy from Egling an der Paar, Bavaria. The firm delivers IT security strategy consulting, ISMS implementation, penetration testing, GDPR data protection audits, interim IT management, and data science services to mid-sized German companies (Mittelstand) typically up to approximately 1,000 employees, with additional engagements in automotive, healthcare, KRITIS (critical infrastructure), and public sector. The founder, supported by a Data Scientist, positions the firm as a "Trusted Advisor" and "Krisenmanager" — a crisis manager brought in for IT security situations where larger firms have failed, with a stated 25+ years of experience in the German system-house environment.

The firm's product and revenue architecture blends professional services with reseller and implementation income. It is a long-standing ESET Gold Partner reselling ESET PROTECT Elite, ESET MDR Service, and ESET MDR Ultimate; a Microsoft Silver Partner implementing Microsoft 365 Defender and Intune; a NinjaOne RMM partner; one of the first EasyEntra partners in Germany; and offers RedMimicry cyberattack emulation. In 2025 the firm launched EasyEntra as its first proprietary product — a Microsoft 365/Entra ID/Exchange Online management tool built entirely on Microsoft Graph. Revenue streams combine professional services (consulting, interim management, audits) with subscription-based resale (ESET, NinjaOne, EasyEntra).

The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with the founder personally engaged on each project as a trusted advisor. Marketing is content-driven through the company blog, LinkedIn presence, public speaking engagements (e.g., "Mensch und KI" at Wittelsbacher Land Verein), and earned media via the Deutscher Mittelstandsbund. The firm holds an unusually dense stack of compliance credentials — BSI IT-Grundschutz Praktiker (2026), NIS2 Coordinator (2025), ISO 27001 ISMS Foundation (2019), Datenschutzbeauftragter and Datenschutzauditor (TÜV Rheinland, 2018–2019), plus ESET deployment certifications — positioned to capture demand from EU NIS2 directive enforcement and GDPR-driven audits in the German Mittelstand.
