About Scutoria
How we work.
Scutoria makes information security, compliance and the use of AI understandable and workable for businesses without an IT department of their own. This page says how the content is made, what it does and where its limits are.
What Scutoria is for
For businesses from the one-person company to the mid-sized firm where management decides itself, because there is no IT or security department. Three subjects belong together here: security, business and AI.
Four kinds of products: handbooks that say what applies and what to do; practical guides that show an interface step by step; templates and kits to fill in; online tools that place a business and suggest a first step.
How we research
Every statement in a handbook carries its source: publisher, title, date of the passage, date retrieved and link. We read legal texts in the original, for example in the Official Journal of the European Union or the Austrian legal information system, not in third-party summaries.
What cannot be substantiated is called “not ascertainable”, with the reason. We do not estimate, round or fill in what seems plausible.
How we deal with uncertainty
Every title ends with its own section “Uncertainties”: what is open, why, and when we last looked. None of it disappears quietly into the running text.
While writing we work with four markers (fact, interpretation, uncertain, gap). They are gone in the finished title; instead the sources sit under the statements and the open points are collected at the end.
How we update
Updates within an edition appear in the online reading access without buyers having to do anything; the version line on every page shows the status. Practical guides carry the date of the interface shown, because every interface goes out of date. Tools state the status of their sources on the page.
How we use tools
The content is produced with AI support and checked by people before publication: sources cross-read, figures and deadlines looked up, open points named. What a tool cannot substantiate does not go into the title.
What we do not do
We do not advise and we do not represent. The titles are guides, not legally binding documents, and do not replace an assessment of the individual case. No tool determines whether a rule applies to a particular business, and none rates products of individual vendors.
Who is behind it
Stefan Dallinger studied security management and is building Scutoria as a one-person company in Austria: writing the handbooks, building the tools and answering support in person. The provider details are in the legal notice; questions about access, invoices or content are answered within 24 hours on working days.
Source-based · no legal advice · “subject to confirmation” means: date and source are given, the assessment of your own case remains yours.
