How we work

We deliver structured, risk-based services tailored to your organization’s needs and maturity. Our working methodology emphasizes a clear structure and professionalism while remaining flexible to adapt to your unique context. Every engagement aligns with your business goals and risk profile, ensuring we focus on what matters most. We offer multiple ways of working together, from on-demand expertise to full project delivery. So you get the support you need in the way that suits you best.

Working with us is a competitive advantage. When you partner with our team, you benefit from:

  • A tailored, risk-Focused approach
    We prioritize what’s most critical to your business. By using a risk-based approach, we address high-risk and high-value areas first, aligning our services with your organization’s maturity and objectives. This ensures efficient use of resources and solutions that fit your environment.
  • Flexible engagement options
    Forget one-size-fits-all consulting, we adapt to you. We offer three engagement models. Consulting hours, packaged services, and project-based delivery. Giving you the freedom to choose how to collaborate. Whether you need occasional expert advice or a fully managed project, our flexible models mean you get the right level of support every time.
  • Deep expertise and quality
    Our team consists of highly qualified specialists with certifications and real-world experience. We bring multi-disciplinary expertise in IT and information security, project management, and compliance. Using proven frameworks and best practices, we deliver high-quality results that meet technical standards and strengthen your overall business strategy. You can trust that our professional, efficient processes will optimize your investments without compromising on security or quality.
  • Personalized service and reliability
    We pride ourselves on being a hands-on partner rather than a distant vendor. Every project is met with a dedicated, personal approach, a level of engagement our clients often don’t get from larger firms. We build long-term relationships based on trust and transparency. To ensure continuity, we always assign at least two consultants to your engagement, providing a broader perspective and a backup at all times. This team-based approach creates natural redundancy and reliability in our service.

Our Methods

We use a structured, risk-based approach to create clarity, momentum, and measurable results. Our methods are designed to work across IT operations, cybersecurity, information security governance, privacy and compliance. Below are a few of the practical building blocks we use in most engagements.

1. Risk & Prioritization
We identify critical assets, key dependencies, threat scenarios, and business impact. The output is a practical risk picture (risk register / risk map) and a prioritized treatment plan that focuses on what matters most.

2. Control Mapping & Target State
We translate requirements from standards and regulations into actionable controls and responsibilities. You get a clear target state (what “good” looks like), control ownership, and a gap view between current and desired level.

3. Maturity Assessment & Roadmap
We assess maturity across governance, process, and technology to establish a baseline. Based on findings, we build a step-by-step roadmap with quick wins, longer initiatives, and measurable milestones.

4. Assurance, Reviews & Evidence Packs
We validate that controls work in practice through Reviews, control testing, and evidence collection. The result is audit readiness with documented proof, clear findings, and recommendations that are easy to act on.

5. Delivery & Continuous Improvement
We deliver with clear structure and regular follow-ups: scope, plan, status updates, documentation, and full transparency. We help you implement improvements, verify outcomes, and continuously adjust priorities as risks and business needs evolve.

Engagement Models

Different organizations have different needs. That’s why we provide three flexible engagement models for delivering our services. In every model, our promise is the same: structured, high-quality work tailored to you. Below is an overview of each engagement model and how we operate within it:

Consulting Hours (On-Demand Expertise)

Expert support when you need it. This model gives you access to our experts on an hourly or retainer basis, providing help exactly when and where it’s required. It’s ideal when you need quick answers, guidance on emerging issues, or extra hands for a short-term task. You can call on us for ad-hoc consulting, mentoring, or support for your team. We remain on standby as an extension of your organization’s capabilities. With Consulting Hours, you get maximum flexibility, you control the timing and scope, and we provide the specialized expertise to fill the gaps as needed.

Packaged Services (Pre-Defined Solutions)

Our packaged services are predefined solutions tailored to specific client needs, delivered with clear scope and outcomes. These offerings often include structured engagements like targeted assessments, workshops, or specialized consulting modules with predetermined deliverables. However, packaged services are not limited to one-off engagements; they can also involve the ongoing delivery of specific IT services or solutions for our clients. In such cases, Kristensson i Skåne AB takes on full operational responsibility for delivering and managing a defined service on an ongoing basis, for example, providing service management, continuous application support, or running certain IT components as a managed service. This approach ensures that clients benefit not only from an initial solution, but also from continuous expert management and support over time.

Project-Based Delivery (End-to-End Projects)

Complete project ownership from start to finish. In a Project-Based engagement, we take full responsibility for delivering a defined project or outcome. This is ideal for larger initiatives such as implementing a new security framework, launching a complex IT project, or any undertaking where you want an expert team to drive the process. We will assemble a project team tailored to the task – typically including project management, subject matter experts, and any specialized roles needed. From initial planning and requirements through execution and handover, we manage every phase. We use a structured project management approach with clear milestones, and we coordinate closely with your stakeholders to ensure alignment. Accountability is central in this model: we commit to delivering on agreed scope, on time and on budget. You receive regular progress reports and one point of contact for status updates. Project-Based Delivery lets you offload the heavy lifting to us, giving you peace of mind as we drive the project to a successful conclusion.

Getting Started – Needs Analysis

No matter which engagement model you choose, our first step is always to understand your situation in depth. We typically begin with a start-up workshop or needs assessment. In this kickoff phase, we review your current state (e.g. existing policies, systems, or processes), discuss your goals and requirements, and identify any risks or constraints. This collaborative discovery process helps us tailor our plan effectively. By the end of this initial phase, we will jointly define the project scope or service plan, so expectations are clear and aligned.

We place great emphasis on continuity, knowledge sharing, and documentation throughout our work. As mentioned, we assign at least two team members to every engagement to provide a wider perspective and ensure work continues seamlessly even if one person is unavailable. We also maintain comprehensive documentation at every stage, from initial findings and decisions to final deliverables. You will receive documentation of our work. This not only provides transparency into what we’re doing, but also ensures that knowledge is transferred to your team. Our goal is that by the end of the engagement, you have all the information and materials needed to continue improving and maintain what’s been implemented, confidently and independently.

What to Expect

Choosing a consulting partner can be difficult, so we aim to make the experience as smooth and reassuring as possible. Here’s what you can expect when you work with us:

  • Open communication
    We believe in frequent and transparent communication. You will have regular check-in meetings and timely updates on progress. We’re always available to discuss questions or adjust plans. This means you’ll never be in the dark, you’ll know what we’re working on, upcoming steps, and any findings or issues as they arise. Our collaborative approach ensures you’re involved and informed at the right level, fostering trust and avoiding surprises.
  • Quality assurance & documentation
    We follow strict quality assurance practices to deliver excellent results. Our work is peer-reviewed and aligned with industry best practices and standards for security and compliance. You will receive documentation of our work. This documentation gives you full visibility into the work and serves as a reference for future needs. It also means that every recommendation or change we make is traceable and justified, giving you confidence in the outcomes.
  • Clear roles and responsibilities
    From the beginning of the partnership, we establish a shared understanding of roles. We take responsibility for planning, analysis, and implementation, while your team’s role is to provide input, context, and to make key decisions or approvals. For example, we might ask you to introduce us to stakeholders or provide access to systems, and in turn we handle the rest. By clearly defining “who does what,” we ensure efficient collaboration. This clarity prevents confusion and keeps the project running smoothly. You can count on us to proactively manage tasks and timelines, but we’ll also let you know what we need from your side to be successful.
  • Smooth onboarding & early results
    We strive to deliver value quickly. We generally conduct kickoff meetings and an initial assessment or data-gathering exercise. This helps us get embedded with your team and start identifying priorities right away. You’ll see a plan of action forming. Our goal is to provide a tangible progress, for example, deliver a current-state report, a set of quick-win fixes for urgent issues, or a roadmap of next steps. We focus on achieving some quick wins and steady progress out of the gate, so you get measurable impact at every stage of the journey. Our goal is to build your confidence early and keep momentum throughout the engagement.

Overall, our commitment is to make working with us rewarding and worry-free. We combine a structured, professional approach with adaptability and genuine partnership. You can expect a team that values your success, communicates openly, delivers quality work, and helps you navigate risks to reach your goals. We don’t just deliver services, we create value through our people, culture, and expertise, becoming a trusted extension of your team.
