Unconsulting in Cohorts

Become measurably safer together

In a cohort, several organizations implement the same security topic at the same time, each on its own systems. With a fixed rhythm, experienced experts and peers who face the same questions.

  • Measurable progress in 6 to 12 weeks
  • Proven with mid-sized companies and municipalities
  • Exchange with peers on equal footing

The risks are known. Still, too little gets done.

Mid-sized companies and municipalities are attacked regularly, often successfully. Knowledge is rarely what's missing. What's missing is time, staff and budget.

In many organizations, IT security depends on one or two people. Audit reports reliably show them where the gaps are. Nobody tells them where to start.

Traditional consulting only helps so much: it is expensive, often delivers documents instead of implementation, and the knowledge leaves the building with the consultants.

  • Continuing risk

  • Scarce resources

  • Expensive one-to-one consulting

One task, many organizations, one shared roadmap.

In our cohorts, a group of organizations works on a clearly defined security topic at the same time. Each one implements it on its own systems. What they share: the method, templates, scripts, expertise and the exchange with each other.

The result: what each organization would otherwise buy on its own is created once and works for all of them. The experts' time is shared across the group. The documentation is finished when the cohort ends. And the knowledge stays with your own team.

A cohort combines the best of three worlds:

  • Project: a clear goal, a fixed time frame, a shared finish
  • Training: knowledge that stays, because it is built directly on your own systems
  • Community: exchange on equal footing with people who have the same task

Unconsulting is built on the principles of the Unconsultancy Manifesto : impact at scale, organicity, transparency. How we apply it: Unconsulting at int[cube]
