**SME Security & Compliance Guild: Launch Event** **Secure early, scale smoothly** Join us for the first public event of the **SME Security & Compliance Guild**, a free after-work meetup in Vienna for startups and SMEs that want to strengthen cybersecurity, improve resilience, and approach compliance in a practical way. Over the past year, we have hosted similar sessions in smaller, closed circles. Since the response has been so positive, we are now opening the format to a wider community. We will meet at the **OSM Solutions office in Vienna** for an evening of expert insights, discussion, and networking. Expect **free drinks, some food, two practical talks, and open exchange** with people who care about building stronger, more resilient companies. This event is for founders, leaders, operators, IT professionals, and anyone in startups or SMEs who wants to better understand security, pentesting, governance, certifications, and regulatory requirements such as **ISO 27001, DORA, PCI DSS, and NIS2**. ## Agenda ### Talk 1 **Pentesting for SMEs: When to Do It, What to Expect, What to Avoid** Pentesting is often misunderstood. Some companies think it is only relevant for large enterprises, while others pay for low-value testing without knowing what good looks like. This session will explain when pentesting makes sense for SMEs, how professional pentests actually work, and how to get real value without wasting budget. We will cover: * the difference between automated scanning and a real pentest * when a pentest makes sense, and when it does not * what a professional pentest process actually looks like: scoping, rules of engagement, testing, reporting, and retesting * common findings in smaller companies * how to get value from a pentest without wasting budget * how pentests support customer trust, audits, certifications, and enterprise sales ### Talk 2 **Start Early, Scale Smarter: GRC for Startups and SMEs** Governance, risk, and compliance are often treated as something to deal with later. In reality, waiting too long usually makes things slower, harder, and more expensive. This session looks at why early GRC work is a strategic advantage for startups and SMEs, and how to start in a lean and practical way. We will cover: * why GRC is not just for large enterprises * what happens when companies delay structure until a customer, investor, or regulator forces it * how early work on policies, controls, responsibilities, and documentation reduces future pain * how GRC supports certifications and frameworks like ISO 27001, DORA, PCI DSS, and NIS2 * how basic governance decisions early on save time and money later * common mistakes such as spreadsheet chaos, unclear ownership, retrofitting controls, and audit panic * how SMEs can start lean without building a huge compliance machine After the talks, we will open the floor for **questions, discussion, and socialising**. Whether you are just starting your journey or already dealing with growing customer, regulatory, or certification requirements, this meetup is designed to offer **practical insight, real-world experience, and useful connections**. We look forward to welcoming you at **OSM Solutions in Vienna**.

UX Vienna Evening Meetups are on the 2nd tuesday of every month — 12 times a year. We’re excited to invite you to the next **UX Vienna Evening Meetup** – an evening of inspiring talks, interesting perspectives and community exchange. We’re diving into two distinct sides of the industry: the high-stakes world of healthcare and the messy, but hopefully rewarding journey of building your own tools. **UX in Healthcare** by **[Leandro Albino De Oliveira](https://www.linkedin.com/in/leandro-oliveira-uxdesigner/)**, UX Chapter Lead at Roche Leandro will be diving into the unique challenges and trends shaping the current landscape of UX within the healthcare sector. **GoGoGolor – a bloody Vibecode project** by **[Wieland Kloimstein](https://www.linkedin.com/in/wieland-kloimstein/)**, UX Designer, ImmoScout24 In 2014 I had an idea for a better color picker. Then it sat in a drawer for 10 years. Two things changed that: OKLCH — a new perceptual color standard — and LLMs that could actually help build it. A UX designer with no coding background ended up building something he had no business building. **Location** **[mySugr/Roche](https://www.mysugr.com/de/uber-uns)** Trattnerhof 1/5.OG, 1010 Vienna, Austria When you enter via the front door, take the elevator to the **5th floor**. **Important note:** once inside the office space, please stay—if you leave early or arrive (very) late, there’s no way to ring the bell or be let back in.

Welcome to **Execution with Style**, a weekly co-working lab for freelancers, creators, founders, and builders who want structure, accountability, and real momentum. We combine **deep focus + small-group pressure + a playful self-expression twist**. When we wear something unusual, we step outside our normal identity. That’s when creativity becomes easier. 📲 **Want reminders or to connect with others before/after?** Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6), Keep contact via [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/) **Execution with Style** 👗🧥✨ Each session, you’re invited to wear **clothes that you don’t normally wear**. Something expressive. Something bold. Something unusual. **Examples:** * the jacket that never leaves your closet * something colorful or dramatic * something funny / absurd * something you “could never pull off”… until today No pressure — but if you join in, be ready to share the story behind it. **Self-expression + execution = momentum.** **Location** * Our weekly co-working sessions take place at creative, cozy hotel lobby **Jaz in the City in central Vienna**. * Regular participants may also be privately invited to occasional **Skyscraper Secret Sessions** — spontaneous small-group co-working gatherings at a private skyline location with **free tea & coffee**, plus **gym and shower access**. These special sessions are **invitation-only** and shared privately with regular members of the community. 🕐 **Time**: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM Every Tuesday 📍 **Location**: Jaz in the City – Ground Floor Lounge: Windmühlgasse 28, 1060 Vienna, Austria 💻 **Bring**: Your laptop, journal, creative tools, or anything you’ve been procrastinating on 🌿 **Hosted by**: NoCrastination.

If 45 minutes feels too long, feel free to break it into two 20-minute focus sessions with a short 5-minute reset in between.

**The Tax-Returns Exploit** And other hidden lore for Austrian Game Devs Maria Hejlek is a Technical Game Designer with over 10 years of experience in the industry and the founder of Eightfinity Games. In this talk she'll take you along her journey, sharing the many strange titbits and useful learnings she picked up along the way. From building her portfolio while still at university, to figuring out tax deductibles while employed, and finally to diving into the deep end and going freelance in a job-scarce market. Do you have a mandatory internship because of your university studies coming up? Do you not know what the Arbeitnehmerveranlagung is or how to get the most out of it? Or are you thinking of going freelance, but don't know where to start? Maria shares the good, the bad, and the ugly she encountered over the years, so you can profit from niche information that people usually don't hold talks about.
