Snowblue
Personal IT help from Munich

White and blue. Open. Yours.

I'm Michael from Munich, and I help you take back control of your digital life – your own cloud, safe passwords and a messenger that doesn't read along. For private households, small businesses, law firms and practices. Explained honestly, no jargon.

Who is it for?

For everyone who cares about their data

Family, workshop or law firm – everyone has data that's nobody else's business. Together we'll find the solution that fits you.

Households & families
Photos, documents and passwords safe at home instead of with Google & co. I set it all up and show you how it works.

Small & medium businesses
No more rising licence fees. Your own cloud, your own messenger, your own rules – and someone who picks up the phone.

Subscriptions get pricier, rules get stricter

More and more money for Microsoft & co., data somewhere in the US, plus new rules like GDPR and NIS2. Enough to make anyone's head spin.
  • More expensive every year
    Licences and subscriptions keep rising. With open source you pay for care – not for licences.
  • Your data in the US
    US providers must grant access to US authorities (CLOUD Act). With me, your data stays in Germany.
  • New obligations
    GDPR, NIS2 and professional secrecy – I translate what really applies to you and what needs doing.

As an information security officer (ISO), I help businesses, law firms and practices set up security properly – step by step, understandable and proportionate instead of piles of paper.

    I take on the role of information security officer for you – ongoing and at a fixed price.
  • Assessment & action plan
    Where do you stand, what's missing, what really matters? You get a clear, prioritised list.
  • Security awareness for your team
    Spotting phishing, safe passwords, handling sensitive data – on-site training with certificate of attendance.
