Information Security & GRC Expert at GLG (Gerson Lehrman Group)
As a Council Member at GLG (Gerson Lehrman Group), the world’s leading expert network, I provide organizations, investment firms, and consulting companies with expert discussions on demand – wherever specialized knowledge in information security, IT governance, and regulatory compliance is needed.
My assessments are based on many years of practical experience in highly regulated industries: from building and implementing information security management systems (ISMS according to ISO 27001), IT risk and vulnerability management, and business continuity (ISO 22301) to the practical implementation of European regulations such as DORA, NIS2, BAIT, and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
The cooperation is project- and discussion-based. I provide decision-makers with a practical perspective gained from real-world experience on cyber risks, security governance, and operational resilience – exactly when it is needed.

About the technology
What Prompt Engineering does
Prompt Engineering structures the instructions, context and output rules given to large language models. It is used to create dependable chat assistants, document workflows, search experiences, content systems and tools that call external services. Prompt design and LLM prompting are common names for the same practical discipline.
Core delivery areas
Strong prompt specialists turn vague goals into repeatable interactions and measurable outputs.
- System prompts for assistants and internal copilots
- Structured extraction from contracts, tickets and reports
- Retrieval-augmented generation with grounded answers
- Tool calling, workflow routing and JSON responses
- Evaluation sets for accuracy, safety and consistency
Ecosystem and skills
Prompt Engineering sits alongside model APIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, open-source models, vector databases and orchestration frameworks such as LangChain and LlamaIndex. Useful specialists understand token limits, embeddings, retrieval, function calling and model-specific behavior. They also bring Python or JavaScript skills, API integration, data handling and clear technical writing.
When companies need specialists
Companies usually bring in freelance expertise when an AI prototype gives inconsistent answers, exposes sensitive context or fails under real user input. A specialist can audit prompts, define an evaluation process and improve the handover from experimentation to a maintainable production workflow. In Hamburg, remote collaboration often works well, while workshops may benefit from on-site sessions and clear German or English communication.
What quality looks like
A capable professional does more than write clever instructions. They separate system rules from user input, constrain formats, test edge cases and document assumptions. They compare model behavior against representative examples, monitor regressions and design fallback paths for uncertainty, refusal and missing data. Good work makes results easier to inspect and improve.
Choosing the right fit
Look for evidence of shipped AI workflows rather than isolated prompt samples. Ask how the specialist handles hallucinations, prompt injection, privacy, version changes and evaluation criteria. The right fit understands your data and users, explains trade-offs between prompting, retrieval and fine-tuning, and leaves behind reusable prompts, tests and operating guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about Prompt Engineering? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
Prompt Engineering is used to guide language models toward useful, consistent and safely formatted results. Companies apply it to assistants, document analysis, customer support, knowledge search, content workflows and applications that use model tools or APIs.
Prompt Engineering changes the instructions, context and output constraints sent to a model, while fine-tuning changes the model through additional training data. Prompting is often faster to adapt and easier to audit; fine-tuning may help when a stable behavior or specialized style cannot be achieved through context alone.
A strong Prompt Engineering specialist often understands retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, vector databases, model APIs and evaluation design. Python or JavaScript, data privacy, API integration and user research are also valuable when prompts become part of a production system.
The right level depends on the work. A simple prompt audit may need focused language-model experience, while a production assistant requires deeper skills in retrieval, security, testing, observability and integration. Ask for relevant shipped work and a clear method for evaluating results rather than relying on a generic experience label.
Prompt Engineering is well suited to remote work because prompts, test cases and model outputs can be reviewed collaboratively online. On-site workshops in Hamburg can still help with stakeholder interviews, process mapping and access to domain experts, especially when German-language requirements matter.
A good Prompt Engineering deliverable includes representative test cases, explicit success criteria and documented failure modes. Review whether outputs remain accurate under ambiguous input, resist prompt injection, follow the required format and stay grounded in approved information.
A Prompt Engineering specialist should consider retrieval when answers depend on changing, private or extensive source material. Supplying selected documents at runtime is usually easier to maintain than placing all knowledge in a long instruction, but retrieval adds work around chunking, indexing, access control and source citations.
Professionals in Prompt Engineering benefit from learning evaluation frameworks, structured outputs, tool calling and retrieval pipelines. They should also understand model limitations, prompt injection defenses, privacy controls and how to explain trade-offs to product and domain teams.
