Weber Consulting

What Weber Consulting does

Weber Consulting KG is an Austrian cybersecurity and IT-security consulting firm founded in April 2006 by Franz Weber, headquartered in Güssing (Burgenland), and operating as a privately held limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft) under Austrian law. The firm delivers four integrated consulting service lines to small and medium-sized enterprises and the mid-market Mittelstand in Austria and the broader German-speaking region: Security Strategy & Governance, Risk & Compliance Management (ISO 27001, NIS2, DSGVO), Penetration Testing & Security Audits, and Security Awareness training. Delivery is supported by a core partnership ecosystem — Cobalt for Pentest-as-a-Service, KnowBe4 for awareness training and phishing simulation, and the Austrian ISMS vendor condignum — which provides platform capabilities without the firm owning underlying technology.

The business model is a classic boutique professional-services motion: project-based engagements and ongoing advisory retainers, quote-based pricing with no publicly disclosed rates, and lead capture through a bilingual website and HubSpot meeting scheduler. GTM is sales-led and direct, with consultation booked via the website or via phone and email, targeting mid-market and SME buyers in DACH. Marketing emphasizes 15+ years of specialized IT-security experience, regulatory-compliance expertise, and measurable KPIs, with the 2026 20th anniversary positioning explicitly anchored on NIS2/DSGVO compliance and human-factor awareness.

The firm's competitive positioning rests on regulatory specialization for European SMEs, the personal reputation and 20+ years of experience of the founder-managing partner, and the partner ecosystem that enables breadth of delivery without product investment. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed external investors, no parent, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity, indicating an independent, organically scaled consulting practice rather than a venture- or platform-backed business.
