GPT-3.5 ### The turning point Stack and workflows aligned with AI and automation. TODAY ### Software GmbH Security audits, ISO in preparation, fixed teams, 13+ engineers. Today we work at a different quality level: annual security audits, ISO certification in preparation, internal code reviews before releases, and multi-stage checks along critical paths. Every application we deliver goes through documented quality steps, not just fast iteration without evidence. Our clients operate systems that are essential to their business. This orientation is therefore not marketing fluff but the working method that matches that responsibility. #### Security audit annual · external #### ISO 27001 in preparation #### Code reviews before every release #### Made in Germany fixed team · GmbH Management & contacts ## Core team with a direct contact ![Portrait of Joel Burghardt against a light background](/images/team/joel-burghardt.png) ### Joel Burghardt Founder & managing director, Lightweb Media GmbH Responsible for delivering scalable web and AI solutions for enterprises. - [Profile & media](/joel-burghardt/) ![Portrait of Marcel Schorr against a light background](/images/team/marcel-schorr.png) ### Marcel Schorr Founder & managing director, DRIVE Ventures GmbH Focus on corporate development, consulting, and leading interdisciplinary teams. - [DRIVE Ventures](https://drive-ventures.de/) ![Portrait of Cindy Ohlhöft](/images/team/cindy.png) ### Cindy Ohlhöft HR & finance HR with focus on applicant management and recruiting.

Whitebox pentests and load tests are part of standard delivery. AI and compliance ### EU AI Act and evals Risk assessment per use case, red-team tests, eval sets, and transparent model documentation. AI systems stay governable and auditable in B2B use, aligned with the EU AI Act.
