Sandro Ullering
Last position:
HSE Manager at Ullertec GmbH
As Managing Director of Ullertec GmbH, my focus is on advising and supporting companies in the areas of occupational health and safety, workplace safety, and operational safety organization.
As a specialist for occupational safety, I support companies with safety-related services in accordance with DGUV Regulation 2, the creation and further development of risk assessments, operating instructions, and occupational safety organizations, as well as with site inspections, safety committee meetings, and the implementation of legal requirements.
Ullertec GmbH, based in Bochum, has established itself as a specialized service provider for occupational health and safety in the Ruhr area and in North Rhine-Westphalia. Our customers include companies and organizations from industry, production, logistics, skilled trades, services, and public or municipal sectors.
In addition to working as an external specialist for occupational safety, our services also include fire protection, safety and health coordination (SiGeKo), expert noise measurements, inspections of work equipment, and practical training and instruction.
A key success is the continuous building of long-term safety-related support relationships and a growing customer base. In doing so, we combine many years of industry experience with modern, structured health and safety consulting.
Our goal is not to represent health and safety only on paper. We analyze workplaces, machines, and operational processes directly on site and develop clear measures that can be implemented economically.

About the certification
What it proves
CompTIA Security+ is an entry-to-mid level cybersecurity certification that shows a freelancer can work with core security controls and speak the language of modern IT risk. It is vendor-neutral, so it is useful in mixed environments and in teams that need broad security fundamentals rather than one product stack.
Core skills
- Identify common threats, attacks, and vulnerabilities
- Apply network, endpoint, and access security controls
- Support incident response and basic forensics tasks
- Understand risk, governance, and compliance basics
- Handle secure configuration and security monitoring
Typical profiles
You often see Security+ on freelancers who support SOC work, junior security analysis, IT operations, help desk security hardening, or project roles with a security layer. In Dortmund, it can be especially relevant when local companies need someone who can join onsite workshops, but it also fits remote work where English is the main working language.
What it means for hiring
A freelancer with CompTIA Security+ brings a practical baseline, not a deep specialist profile. For companies, that means less need to explain common security terms and more confidence in day-to-day tasks such as reviewing alerts, supporting secure rollouts, or tightening controls in Windows, cloud, or hybrid setups. It is a good signal when you need reliable security awareness without overhiring for the task.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about CompTIA Security+? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
CompTIA Security+ validates practical cybersecurity fundamentals. It shows the freelancer can recognize threats, apply basic controls, and support security work across networks, systems, and operations. For hiring teams, it is a sign that the person understands core security concepts and can contribute without heavy supervision.
No. Security+ covers broad security foundations, while more advanced certifications such as CISSP are aimed at deeper strategy, governance, and senior-level security leadership. Security+ is often a better fit for hands-on technical support, junior analyst work, and general security awareness across IT teams.
Security+ is a strong choice for people moving into cybersecurity, IT support staff who need security skills, and freelancers who support secure operations in mixed environments. It also fits professionals who want a vendor-neutral credential that is understood across many industries. Companies often look for it when they need practical security competence rather than a niche tool certification.
CompTIA Security+ focuses on threats, vulnerabilities, risk, access control, cryptography basics, network defense, and incident response. It also touches on governance and secure operations, so the holder can work within broader security policies. The value is in breadth and practical understanding, not in one specific product or platform.
Preparation for Security+ usually means learning the security vocabulary, understanding common attack patterns, and practicing how to respond to incidents and secure systems. Most candidates benefit from a mix of study material and hands-on lab work. The exam expects applied understanding, so memorizing terms alone is not enough.
There are no strict formal prerequisites for Security+. That said, people with some IT support, networking, or systems experience usually find it easier to connect the concepts to real work. Employers often view it as proof of a solid baseline, even when the freelancer is still early in a security career.
Security+ is part of CompTIA’s continuing education model, so holders keep the certification current by completing approved renewal activity over time. That can include further learning, higher certifications, or other accepted professional development. For companies, this matters because it helps show the credential is still active and relevant.
Security+ is useful for projects that need security-aware support in IT operations, endpoint hardening, incident handling, or cloud and infrastructure rollouts. In Dortmund, it can help when local teams want someone who can join onsite planning or work closely with German-speaking stakeholders, while many delivery tasks can still be done remotely. It is a good signal in industries that handle sensitive data or regulated systems.
