Audits for Digital Risks

Some technological purveyors provide you with technologies which can empower you, help you increase revenues, find new clients, users or hires, or allow you to scale seamlessly, and so on.

No doubt.

Technologies can help.

However, usage of technologies can also undermine your ROI, your ability to do business, or, agency you have over your business.

Technologies can make your business fragile.

These technological purveyors can’t see:

• the regression effect
• solutionism
• the Lindy Effect
• via negativa
• economies of network
• technological usage is a pharmakon
• the acquisition risk
• what security is about

Or, in other words, these purveyors think that:

• scale is economies of scale
• technologies solve problems
• Open Source is the panacea
• Free Software is the panacea
• Copyleft is the panacea
• data-driven decisions lead to innovation
• technologies make things easier
• ditching old technologies for the latest is wise
• all-in-one tools are better than single-use tools
• having agency over technologies is about DIY
• security comes at the expense of something else.

These statements should not convey the idea that we reject technologies.

Obviously not.

I do research in the field of technology.

• one-off consultation calls
• audits
• in-house assistance to help your teams with implementations

I keep things simple, document what I do, and work with freely distributed software.

Why?

So you don’t become dependent on me, or on a vendor.

Once I’ve delivered, you can call me back, or you can hire someone else.

My value proposition is that there is no vendor lock-in.
