Service overview
Bring legal priorities into hands-on security work.
Security Team as a Service delivered by Astria Security, in collaboration with Ceiba Law’s strategic and legal guidance for practical, hands-on risk management.
This service is provided by our partner Astria Security, in alignment with Ceiba Law’s holistic approach and in collaboration with our strategic and legal guidance. Astria delivers the hands-on cybersecurity work; Ceiba Law advises on the legal and governance issues that inform priorities, decisions and implementation.
A flexible external security team can complement your internal IT resources, fill specialist capability gaps and deliver scoped security projects. Drawing on Astria’s published capabilities, an engagement may include security architecture, threat and vulnerability management, attack surface reviews, incident readiness and post-breach recovery support. Responsibilities, deliverables and availability are agreed at the outset; continuous monitoring or 24/7 coverage is not implied.
Who it’s for
- Organizations whose IT teams need additional security expertise or delivery capacity
- Businesses implementing security improvements or addressing customer and supplier commitments
- Teams strengthening incident readiness or rebuilding securely after a breach

- 3
Improve security processes, incident playbooks and evidence of implementation for governance and contractual needs
- 4
Transfer knowledge to internal teams and report progress, unresolved risks and decisions requiring leadership input
Why work with us
Our holistic approach bridges legal advice and technical execution. Astria provides the security team, while Ceiba Law helps connect its work to applicable legal obligations, contracts and governance. Stephanie Sabatini and Jaspreet Kaur support the collaboration so legal issues lead to practical action rather than disconnected recommendations. Scope and responsibilities are documented; legal privilege is assessed case by case, not assumed for all partner work.

Germany passes its Cyber Resilience Act implementation law
The Bundestag passed the Act Implementing the Cyber Resilience Act, designating the BSI as Germany's market surveillance authority, notifying authority and coordinating CSIRT under the CRA. As market surveillance authority, the BSI can order noncompliant products with digital elements removed from the market. It will also act as a complaints office for consumer reports. The Act still requires Bundesrat approval. Once in force, provisions matching CRA obligations that already apply take effect the day after promulgation, and the remaining obligations follow the CRA's general application date of December 11, 2027.
