Our Story

Founded in Plovdiv.
Trusted across Europe.

A consultancy named after the city that has stood for 8,000 years — built on foundations that hold.

Who We Are

Senior expertise.
Direct accountability.

Trimontia takes its name from Trimontium — the Roman name for Plovdiv, meaning "Three Hills." Our name reflects our structure: three pillars of expertise, one unified consultancy, built on foundations that hold.

We are an IT security, operations and governance consultancy based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, working with companies under 100 employees across the EMEA region. We combine deep technical expertise with structured consulting methodology — delivering the kind of work that enterprise firms charge enterprise prices for, at a price point that growing companies can actually justify.

Every engagement is led by a senior consultant from day one. Structured deliverables. Clear scope. Documented outcomes. No ambiguity about what you receive and when.

"Three hills built Plovdiv over 8,000 years — one stone at a time. Deep foundations outlast everything built on sand. We build the same way: structured, documented, defensible — so what we deliver holds up long after the engagement ends."
Our Approach

How we work.

📋
Fixed scope, written before we start
Every engagement begins with a signed Statement of Work. The deliverables, timeline, and fee are agreed in writing. No scope creep billed without a prior change request.
📄
Everything documented and yours
Every deliverable is editable, client-owned, and designed so your team can operate independently after the engagement ends — without everything depending on us staying involved.
🛡️
Data protection before access
A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is signed before any system access is granted. Access is scoped to what is needed, MFA-protected, logged, and revoked at engagement completion.
The Three Hills

Three pillars. One consultancy.

Every service we deliver maps to one of three pillars. Every retainer spans all three.

I
Security
The citadel. The oldest hill. The first line of defence.
CrowdStrike Falcon EDR — policy, triage, remediation
Microsoft Defender Suite — Endpoint, Identity, Office 365
Email security — SPF/DKIM/DMARC, anti-phishing
NIS2 readiness — gap analysis, risk register, roadmap
IT Security Audits — endpoint, identity, access, cloud
WiFi site surveys (EMEA) — Ekahau Sidekick
II
Operations & Infrastructure
The engine room. Where things get built and maintained.
Microsoft Entra ID — identity lifecycle, conditional access
Microsoft Intune / MDM — enrolment, compliance, Autopilot
Active Directory DS — GPO design, hybrid identity, tiering
Azure Virtual Machines — deployment, backup, Site Recovery
Azure Networking — VNet, Firewall, App Gateway, Bastion
Patch management, onboarding/offboarding SOPs
III
Governance & AI
The framework that makes everything else defensible.
M365 & Copilot governance — DLP, lifecycle, admin controls
AI Governance Frameworks — EU AI Act mapping
ISO 27001 — full ISMS build, internal audit, cert prep
NIS2 / ISO 9001 alignment and audit preparation
IT operations frameworks — escalation maps, RACI, SOPs
Monthly board-ready leadership & security summaries
The Basics

Three things worth knowing.

🇧🇬
Based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria
Registered as a Bulgarian LTD — a full EU legal entity. VAT-compliant invoicing in EUR. All services delivered remotely. On-site across EMEA where needed.
🤝
Senior consultants, not an agency
Every engagement is led by a senior consultant from scope through delivery. No account manager layers. No hand-off to juniors. Direct access to the expertise you hired at every stage.
Guaranteed response SLA
A substantive reply — not an acknowledgement. Every business day. SLA tiers range from next business day to same day depending on your retainer level. Async-first, structured delivery.
The Situation We Solve

Growing companies that have
outgrown ad-hoc IT.

You have a product that works — and clients who are starting to ask hard questions about security.

The Problem

Your IT is held together
by whoever has time.

No risk register. No incident response plan. No internal lead who owns it — and no board-ready answer when someone asks.

The NIS2 or ISO 27001 deadline is not abstract. It is already affecting your deals.

Here is where we come in.

We bring a decade of production IT security and infrastructure experience to companies that need it most. No agency overhead. No account manager layer. No enterprise price tag.

01
NIS2 & ISO 27001 deadlines
Enforcement is active. Clients and auditors are asking for documented compliance. Most companies have nothing to show.
02
No internal IT or security lead
No one owns it. No risk register. No incident response plan. Just the hope that nothing goes wrong.
03
Rapid growth, no governance
New people, new tools, new clients — with no identity governance, no device management, no baseline keeping pace.
04
A breach or phishing incident
Something happened. Now: what do we actually have in place, and who is responsible for fixing it?

Outcomes reflect the environments and starting conditions of each engagement. Individual results vary based on your infrastructure complexity, team availability, and the current maturity of your IT setup. We provide a realistic assessment of expected outcomes before any engagement begins — never a guarantee we cannot keep.

Scope & Approach

What we do —
and how we do it.

We are an IT consulting firm. Not a helpdesk, not a managed service provider, not a software reseller. Clear scope means better outcomes for both sides.

✓ What Trimontia does
IT security audits — endpoint, identity, access, cloud, email
NIS2 readiness — gap analysis, risk register, remediation roadmap
ISO 27001 — complete ISMS build, internal audit, certification preparation
Microsoft 365 and Copilot governance — DLP, lifecycle, admin controls
Azure infrastructure — virtual machines, networking, backup, migration
Active Directory — on-premises and hybrid, GPO design, security tiering
Microsoft Defender Suite — full deployment, tuning, and monitoring
Monthly oversight retainers — structured reports, async advisory
AI governance frameworks — EU AI Act mapping, acceptable use policy
WiFi site surveys — professional RF assessment, EMEA on-site
Outside our standard scope
L1 IT support and helpdesk. Password resets, printer issues, and service desk tickets are not what we do. Trimontia provides IT governance and consulting — not reactive frontline support. We can refer you to a complementary MSP partner who operates that layer.
Operations centre and 24/7 monitoring. We are not a Security Operations Centre or managed service provider. We do not staff continuous monitoring infrastructure. Incident response advisory is available under retainer during business hours.
Legal interpretation of compliance obligations. We identify gaps and document controls — specific legal obligations under GDPR, NIS2, or sector regulation require qualified legal counsel. We work alongside lawyers, not in place of them.
Certification body audit. ISO 27001 and NIS2 certificates are issued by independent certification bodies. We prepare you — the audit is conducted by the body you engage directly.
Software and licence procurement. We are tool-agnostic and earn no commissions on tools we recommend. Procurement happens directly between you and the vendor.
+Available on request — subject to separate scoping and pricing: Penetration testing and red team exercises · Phishing simulations · Out-of-hours emergency advisory · Extended SLA windows · Security awareness training · Software procurement coordination. Contact us to discuss scope and fee.
Not sure if your situation fits? Send a short description to contact@trimontia.io and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit — or point you toward someone who is.

Common Questions

Before you get in touch.

Twelve questions we hear most often — answered plainly. If yours is not here, send it to contact@trimontia.io.

Getting started
Send a short message via the contact form or directly to contact@trimontia.io. Describe your situation in a few sentences — what you are dealing with, what your company does, and roughly how many people you have. That is enough.

We will reply within two business days with one of three things: a direct proposal if your situation is clear, a short list of follow-up questions, or an honest note if we are not the right fit and who might be.

If there is likely a match, we schedule a 30-minute discovery call — no pitch, no deck, no obligation. We understand your situation and you understand whether we can help. From there, we produce a one-page proposal with fixed scope, fixed fee, and a start date. Nothing starts until the proposal is signed.
The IT Health Check exists precisely for this situation. It is a fixed-price, 5-day remote assessment — €1,500 — that gives you a structured picture of where your security and compliance posture actually stands, the top 5 priorities you should address, and a clear recommended next step.

It is not a sales tool. If the answer is that your environment is in reasonable shape and you do not need anything urgently, we will tell you that. Around 60% of Health Check clients move to a follow-on project or retainer — because once you can see the gaps clearly, the decision is usually obvious.

Services & scope
Every retainer begins with a baseline assessment of your environment delivered within 7 days of signing — so you start with a documented picture, not a blank page.

Security Watch (€800/mo): Monthly security posture report delivered by the 5th of each month, patch compliance summary, endpoint health overview, and two async advisory sessions per month.

IT Co-Pilot (€1,600/mo): Everything above, plus Microsoft 365 and Copilot governance oversight, Microsoft Defender Suite monitoring, NIS2 compliance gap tracking, Entra ID oversight, one policy document per quarter, and a quarterly IT roadmap call.

Fractional IT Lead (€2,800/mo): Everything above, plus Azure infrastructure advisory, on-premises and hybrid Active Directory oversight, monthly board-ready leadership summary, ISO 9001/NIS2 audit preparation support, IT operations framework maintenance, and vendor rationalisation advice.

Enterprise Guardian (€4,000/mo): Everything above, plus multi-tenant M365 governance, full Azure networking oversight, continuous NIS2/ISO audit readiness, same-business-day response SLA, quarterly executive security briefing, and an annual IT strategy roadmap.

All tiers: monthly rolling contract, 30 days written notice to cancel, no minimum term. Unused advisory hours do not carry over. Overage at €120/hr (business hours).
No. Trimontia provides IT governance, security consulting, and infrastructure advisory — not frontline support. We do not handle password resets, printer issues, application errors, or Level 1 service desk requests.

If you need both governance consulting and a helpdesk, the most effective model is to run both in parallel: a dedicated MSP for reactive support, and Trimontia for the strategic and compliance layer above it. We are happy to advise on what to look for in an MSP partner if needed.
Yes, NIS2 readiness is one of our core services.

The NIS2 Readiness Assessment (€6,500–12,000, 3–5 weeks) delivers: a gap analysis against all applicable NIS2 requirements with a RAG rating (Red / Amber / Green) per control, a formal risk register, a risk treatment plan with named owners and deadlines, a prioritised remediation roadmap, and a board-ready executive report suitable for leadership presentation or regulatory dialogue.

If you also need an IT Security Audit at the same time — which most companies do — the Security + NIS2 Bundle (€10,000–18,000) combines both into one engagement. The same discovery work powers both deliverables, saving time and reducing the disruption to your team.

On timelines: most companies doing this for the first time are at least partially non-compliant. We set realistic expectations at the scoping stage — compliance remediation typically takes 3–12 months depending on where you start. The assessment tells you exactly where you stand; the roadmap tells you what to prioritise.
Yes. We deliver the complete ISO 27001:2022 ISMS build — gap analysis against all 93 Annex A controls, risk assessment and treatment plan, full policy library (12+ documents), Statement of Applicability, technical controls implementation guidance, internal audit, and management review preparation ahead of Stage 2.

The certification body (Kiwa, Bureau Veritas, BSI, TÜV, or your preferred body) is engaged and paid directly by you — we help you choose the right one for your context and prepare you thoroughly for Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits.

Realistic timeline from engagement start to certification: 14–22 weeks for a company with some existing controls in place; longer if starting from scratch. We will give you an honest estimate after the initial gap analysis — never a guarantee we cannot keep.
A signed Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is required before any system access is granted. This is non-negotiable and not a formality — it governs exactly what data we access, why, and what happens to it.

For monitoring and reporting (retainer): Read-only access to your admin portals — typically Global Reader role in Microsoft 365 and equivalent read-only roles in Azure and other platforms. No write access, no configuration changes under this level.

For implementation work (projects): Temporary, scoped delegated access to the specific workloads involved — for example, Intune administrator during a device management project. This access is: granted for the duration of the task only, protected by multi-factor authentication, logged, and revoked in writing when the task is complete.

We never retain persistent broad administrative access beyond what is needed for the current engagement. Client admins retain full control and can revoke access at any moment.
Pricing & commercial
A senior IT security or governance specialist in the Netherlands, Germany, or UK typically costs €70,000–110,000 per year in salary — before employer contributions, benefits, equipment, onboarding time, and management overhead. Total employment cost is usually 1.3–1.5× the gross salary figure.

Trimontia's IT Co-Pilot retainer (€1,600/mo) runs €19,200 per year. Fractional IT Lead (€2,800/mo) runs €33,600 per year. Either is a fraction of a comparable in-house hire, with no headcount commitment, no notice period beyond 30 days, and no risk of the person leaving mid-project.

The other difference: a single in-house hire covers one person's knowledge. Trimontia brings a breadth of specialisms — security, cloud infrastructure, compliance, identity, AI governance — that no single hire realistically covers.

Annual prepay option: pay 12 months upfront and receive 10% off the total. For IT Co-Pilot, that means €17,280 instead of €19,200 — saving €1,920.
Less than you would expect. The entire model is built around minimising the time burden on your team.

For a retainer: Typically 30–60 minutes per month for your point of contact — reviewing the monthly report, answering our questions asynchronously, and a brief call each quarter. The work happens on our side; you review and decide.

For a project: The main requirement is a 60–90 minute kick-off call to understand your environment, access to the relevant systems, and availability for a final delivery call. For a security audit, for example, we work from the admin consoles — we do not need to interview every staff member or run sessions that pull your team away from their work.

We will always tell you upfront what we need from you and when. Surprises in both directions — unexpected time demands, or deliverables that arrive without any context from your team — are avoidable with clear upfront scoping, which is why every engagement starts with a signed SoW.
Practicalities
Every engagement is led by a senior IT consultant from scoping through delivery. You will have a named engagement lead who is responsible for all deliverables and who you contact directly — not a rotating team, not a junior analyst who escalates to a senior for sign-off.

Trimontia operates as a specialist consultancy. The people doing your work have production-level, hands-on experience with the specific tools and environments your engagement involves. If a particular engagement requires a specialist outside our core capability, we will tell you that at the scoping stage rather than proceeding and delivering substandard work.
There are two scenarios worth being clear about:

If a deliverable is not what was agreed: We fix it at no extra cost. Every engagement is governed by a signed SoW that defines deliverables precisely. If what we deliver does not match what was agreed, the SoW is the reference point and we are accountable to it.

If scope changes mid-engagement: Nothing happens without a written change request agreed by both parties first. We will not expand scope without your approval, and we will not charge for work outside the original SoW without that same approval in writing.

In the event of a security incident during an engagement: All access is immediately revoked on request. We carry professional indemnity insurance. A Data Processing Agreement governs what data we accessed and how. Full cooperation with any investigation is provided as standard.

If at any point during an engagement you have a concern — about scope, quality, or approach — we expect you to raise it directly. Problems raised early are solved. Problems that accumulate in silence are not.
Trimontia is registered in Bulgaria as a private limited company (ЕООД) — a full EU legal entity. Invoicing is in EUR with valid EU VAT documentation. All engagements are governed by Bulgarian law, which is EU law.

All services are delivered remotely and asynchronously. Time zone: Eastern European Time (EET, UTC+2 / UTC+3 summer). Business hours overlap comfortably with Western and Northern Europe across the entire working day.

For on-site engagements (WiFi surveys, specific infrastructure work), we travel to the client site. Travel and accommodation are billed at cost with zero markup.

On pricing: being based in Bulgaria is why our rates are structured the way they are — lower operational costs than a Western European firm, passed directly to clients. The methodology, deliverables, and depth of expertise are identical to what a London or Amsterdam boutique firm would deliver at 2–3× the price.
Both are published in full on this site:


The Terms cover: scope of services, fees and invoicing, IP ownership, confidentiality, system access, liability limitations, governing law, and contact.

The Privacy Policy covers: what data we collect and why, retention periods, who we share data with, DPA obligations, your GDPR rights (access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction, objection), and how to complain.

Terms & Conditions

Effective date: 1 June 2026 · Trimontia ЕООД · Plovdiv, Bulgaria

1. Parties

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern all services provided by Trimontia ЕООД, a limited liability company registered in Bulgaria (UIC pending registration), with registered address in Plovdiv, Bulgaria ("Trimontia", "we", "us", "our") to its clients ("Client", "you").

By signing a Statement of Work (SoW) or Master Services Agreement (MSA) referencing these Terms, or by commencing an engagement with Trimontia, the Client agrees to be bound by these Terms.

2. Scope of Services

Trimontia provides IT security consulting, governance advisory, infrastructure consulting, and related professional services as specified in a signed Statement of Work (SoW) for each engagement.

All work is initiated only after a signed SoW is in place. The SoW defines the deliverables, timeline, fee, and any specific conditions. Work that falls outside the agreed SoW scope requires a written Change Request signed by both parties before it is commenced.

Trimontia does not provide: Level 1 IT helpdesk or day-to-day support; 24/7 security operations centre (SOC) or continuous monitoring; legal advice; software or hardware procurement; or managed IT services. These exclusions apply unless separately and specifically agreed in a signed SoW.

3. Fees, Invoicing & Payment

Retainer engagements: Invoiced monthly in advance on the 1st of each month. Payment due within 14 calendar days of invoice date. Unused advisory hours within a calendar month do not carry over to subsequent months.

Fixed-price project engagements: 40% of the total fee is invoiced on contract signing. The remaining 60% is invoiced on delivery of the final deliverable. Payment due within 14 calendar days of each invoice.

Overage: Advisory time in excess of the agreed monthly retainer allocation is billed at €120/hour (standard, business hours) or €180/hour (emergency or out-of-hours, subject to prior written approval). Overage is added to the following month's invoice.

Currency: All fees are invoiced in EUR. Wire transfer to the Trimontia ЕООД bank account specified on the invoice. No credit card payments.

Late payment: Invoices unpaid after 30 calendar days accrue interest at 0.5% per month on the outstanding balance. Trimontia reserves the right to suspend services for accounts more than 30 days overdue.

4. Retainer Cancellation

Monthly retainer agreements may be cancelled by either party with 30 calendar days' written notice sent to the other party's registered email address. Notice must be provided in writing; verbal notice is not accepted.

The Client remains liable for retainer fees accrued during the notice period. Trimontia will complete any outstanding deliverables due during the notice period unless both parties agree otherwise in writing.

5. Intellectual Property

Upon receipt of full payment for an engagement, all client-specific deliverables (reports, policies, documentation, frameworks) produced under that engagement become the property of the Client.

Trimontia retains ownership of all methodologies, templates, frameworks, and processes used to produce deliverables. Trimontia may reuse its own methodologies and templates for other clients. No client-specific or confidential information is reused.

6. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to hold in strict confidence all non-public information disclosed by the other party in connection with the engagement ("Confidential Information"). This obligation continues for three (3) years after the termination of the engagement.

Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no breach of this agreement; (b) was known to the receiving party before disclosure; (c) is independently developed without use of Confidential Information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by law, regulation, or court order.

7. System Access

A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is signed before any access to the Client's systems, data, or infrastructure is granted.

All system access is: scoped to what is strictly necessary for the engagement; protected by multi-factor authentication; logged; and revoked immediately upon completion of the engagement or at the Client's request. Trimontia does not retain persistent administrative access beyond the scope and duration of the agreed engagement.

8. Limitation of Liability

Trimontia's total cumulative liability to the Client under or in connection with any engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client to Trimontia in the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Trimontia shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of data, or business interruption, regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable.

Trimontia's services are advisory in nature. The Client is responsible for all implementation decisions, system changes, and business decisions made on the basis of Trimontia's advice. Trimontia does not guarantee specific outcomes or compliance certification results.

9. Warranties

Trimontia warrants that services will be performed: (a) by personnel with relevant skills and experience; (b) with reasonable care and professional diligence; and (c) in accordance with the agreed SoW.

All other warranties, express or implied, are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. In particular, Trimontia makes no warranty that its recommendations will prevent security incidents, achieve regulatory compliance, or satisfy the requirements of any specific certification body or regulatory authority.

10. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for delays or failure to perform obligations caused by circumstances beyond that party's reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, civil unrest, epidemic, pandemic, government action, or internet infrastructure failure. The affected party shall notify the other in writing as soon as practicable and shall use reasonable efforts to resume performance.

11. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms and all engagements governed by them are subject to the laws of the Republic of Bulgaria, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any dispute arising from or in connection with these Terms shall be submitted first to good-faith mediation between senior representatives of both parties. If mediation does not resolve the dispute within 30 days, the dispute shall be referred to the competent courts of Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

12. Amendments

Trimontia may update these Terms from time to time. Clients with active engagements will be notified of material changes by email at least 30 days before the change takes effect. Continued use of services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
