Talks that end with a clear next step

We speak at conferences, board meetings and internal events. No generic slides, examples from the host sector and clear messages for the people who decide.

Why most talks leave nothing behind

The audience leaves feeling the topic matters, but with nothing they can act on when they get back to their desk.

Talks on cyber security usually fall into one of two traps. Either they are frightening, so people close up and conclude it is inevitable anyway. Or they are too technical, so the board gives up after five minutes and goes back to the phone.

We are interested in a third answer: that the people who decide leave with one thing they can change. Sometimes that is a single rule, confirming a payment instruction through a second channel for instance. Sometimes it is one missing record. Sometimes it is simply a moment where somebody is allowed to stop and check.

That is why before every appearance we ask who is in the room, what lies ahead of them and what has already happened to them. The examples and scenarios come from the host’s own field.

Topics

Each topic states what the audience takes away.

TOPICFOR WHOMWHAT THE AUDIENCE TAKES AWAY

The Cybersecurity Act, what a board needs to knowBoardsWho is accountable, which deadlines run from the categorisation notice, and what gets signed at a meeting

Audits and proving readinessBoards and specialistsWhy a document without records fails, and what an auditor asks for first

Agentic artificial intelligence threatsAll audiencesWhy an attack becomes cheap and repeatable, and which rule actually holds

Fraud and human deception onlineAll audiencesWhat a cloned voice sounds like, why it works, and where the chain breaks

The AI Act and institutional obligationsBoards and specialistsWhether you are a provider or a deployer, and what follows from that

Cyber security in healthcareHealthcare institutionsWhy healthcare has stricter obligations and where hospitals most often get stuck

The human factor and the limits of trainingBoards and HRWhy training alone does not solve the problem and what has to exist alongside it

Formats and duration

We choose the format by the audience and by how much time you actually have.

FORMATDURATIONWHEN IT MAKES SENSE

Conference keynote30 to 60 minutesWhen the audience is mixed and the aim is to get the topic into the conversation that continues in the breaks

Panel participation or moderationAs the programme allowsWhen the organiser wants opposing views rather than another presentation

Internal briefing for the board45 to 60 minutesWhen a decision on investment or deadlines is waiting and the board has no shared picture of where things stand

Team workshop2 to 4 hoursWhen the talk needs to be paired with hands-on work on your own examples, and the session has to leave a record

Educational blockHalf day or full dayWhen the topic is covered in depth, usually within a training programme

We deliver talks and workshops in Croatian and English. For events outside Zagreb travel is arranged in advance, and for appearances abroad we ask for a slightly longer lead time.

How a talk is prepared

Five steps behind every appearance, whether it runs thirty minutes or a full day.

A conversation with the organiser

We ask who is in the room, how many there are, what they heard before us and what you would like to change afterwards. The topic follows from that, not the other way round.

AUDIENCE PROFILEAIM OF THE TALKDURATION

Examples from the host’s own field

The scenarios and system names come from your sector. Generic examples from foreign reports do not reach an audience, because they do not recognise them as their own, so nothing stays with them.

TAILORED SCENARIOSSECTOR EXAMPLES

Checking every claim

What is said about the law is checked against the law, not against somebody else’s slide deck. Figures from external reports are cited with their source and with the caveat that they are estimates.

SOURCE FOR EVERY CLAIMLEGAL VERIFICATION

The talk itself

No reading from the screen and no tool lists. One idea per slide, an example the audience recognises, and time left for questions, because that is usually where the most useful part happens.

THE TALKTIME FOR QUESTIONS

Materials after the event

A summary with the key messages and, where applicable, a list of what can be done straight away. For an internal talk, the delivery record goes into the evidence set for the training measure.

SUMMARY FOR PARTICIPANTSFIRST STEPS LISTDELIVERY RECORD

Three audiences, three different conversations

The same topic, but what interests them is not the same.

01The boardThey care about accountability, deadlines and cost. The language is the language of decisions: what can happen, what it would cost and what is being asked for approval. Technical vocabulary gets in the way here.

02The specialistsThey care about how something is proved and where the limits are. Here we go into sub-measures, records and deadlines, and here the questions usually run longer than the talk.

03Everyone elseThey care about what is expected of them and whether they are allowed to get it wrong. The aim is not that they spot every fraud, but that they know they may stop and check without being second-guessed.

Frequently asked questions

The questions we are asked most often before we start.

What languages do you speak in?

Croatian and English. Materials are produced in the language of the event, and bilingually on request.

Do you tailor the topic to our sector?

That is exactly what we do. Before the appearance we ask for a short description of the audience and the sector, and the scenarios and examples come from there.

Does an internal talk count as audit evidence?

It does if it leaves a record. With an internal talk we produce an attendance list, a programme and a date, which is evidence for the training measure in Annex II of the Regulation. A conference keynote is not a substitute for internal training.

Do you charge for appearances?

It depends on the type of event and on whether it is a public event or an internal briefing. Tell us the setting and we will answer concretely, with no items added later.

Do you do media appearances too?

We do, and that is separate from speaking. For media enquiries and commentary, see the media page.

Can we ask for a topic that is not on the list?

You can ask. If the topic is within what we actually do, we will arrange it. If it is not, we will say so openly, because a talk about something we do not do helps nobody.
