Why PaSBaT?
On-demand, anonymized, audit-ready. Security & compliance audits in minutes instead of days – without heavy integration.
Note: Currently PoC status (Cisco focus); further vendors under development.
The Problem
- Growing regulations: NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001 & others require regular evidence – structured and verifiable.
- High costs & skill shortage: Manual audits are slow, expensive, and rely on scarce expert resources.
- Tool overhead: Classical suites are costly, integration-heavy, and impractical for many SMEs.
The Solution
PaSBaT is a highly modular platform-as-a-service for automated security & compliance audits. Instead of complex live integrations, PaSBaT works config-based and anonymized and delivers audit-ready reports with clear findings and remediation guidance.
- On-demand: Audits whenever needed, no vendor lock-in.
- Privacy by design: Anonymized inputs, local de-anonymization possible on customer side.
- Scalable: From quick checks to continuous compliance monitoring.
How it Works (simplified)
- Preparation: Customer uses the local anonymization tool to clean up .cfg files (network devices).
- Upload: Anonymized configurations are uploaded to PaSBaT.
- Simulation & Analysis: Topology, policies/checks, evaluation against frameworks (e.g. NIS2/ISO controls).
- Report: Audit-ready report with findings, priorities, GAP analysis, and remediation roadmap; optionally de-anonymizable at the customer.
What Makes PaSBaT Unique
- Anonymized, config-based simulation instead of live system access – reduces legal and operational hurdles.
- Modular check engine – new controls/frameworks can be quickly added.
- Audit-ready by default – structured evidence, clear traceability.
- Vendor roadmap: PoC with Cisco; expansion to more vendors planned.
Value in Numbers
- Up to 90% less audit effort through automation & reusability.
- Significantly lower costs compared to classical audit projects/enterprise suites.
- Faster time-to-value – first results in minutes instead of days/weeks.
Numbers vary depending on size/complexity – PoC benchmarks available.
Target Customers
- MSSPs / security service providers: Scale audits for many customers (white-label/co-branding possible).
- Companies (SME → Enterprise): Deliver NIS2/DORA/ISO evidence more efficiently.
- Education/Training: Realistic, anonymized networks for courses and labs.
Use Cases (selection)
- NIS2 readiness check: Baseline assessment in hours instead of weeks.
- Baseline & hardening: Target/actual comparison, GAP analysis, prioritization.
- Due diligence (M&A): Quick check of network hygiene before/during transactions.
- Continuous compliance: Regular, automated checks in CI/CD pipelines.
Pricing Approaches (flexible by context)
- Per report: One-off audits (e.g. project or annual report).
- Subscription: Ongoing compliance checks/monitoring (monthly/annual).
- Partner/Sponsoring: Listed providers in the report, co-selling/lead routing.
Specific terms depend on size/scope – pilot packages available.
Partnerships
PaSBaT is designed as a partner enabler: service providers accelerate audits, co-brand reports, and directly transition into remediation projects. PaSBaT delivers evidence & structure, partners deliver implementation & operations.
Roadmap (excerpt)
- Vendor support: Expansion beyond Cisco (prioritized by demand).
- Frameworks: Extension of checks/controls (e.g. NIS2 domains, ISO controls, DORA references).
- API & integrations: Ticketing/CMDB/SIEM, CI/CD hooks, export formats.
- Self-service: Tenant workspaces, report designer, scheduling.
Ready for a Quick Start?
I am specifically looking for pilot partners (SMEs, MSSPs, enterprise teams) to bring PaSBaT into productive contexts together.
This is a demo with test data; no access to live systems.
