IT security & data protection

IT security that fits everyday work.

Backups that work when it counts. Updates that actually get installed. Firewalls and permissions that protect without being a nuisance. We noticeably reduce the risk for small and medium-sized businesses and make their IT more resilient – pragmatic, not panicked.

We keep an eye on updates, backups and security – before anything happens.
01 What we protect

Protection on several levels.

Security is not a single product, but the sum of many clean settings. We start where it really counts for medium-sized businesses.

Backup & recovery

3-2-1 strategy with real restore tests – so that the backup holds up when it counts.

Updates & patches

Keeping operating systems, applications and firmware up to date regularly and transparently.

Firewall & network

Sensible firewall rules, VPN for branch offices, separate guest and working networks.

Permissions

Who is allowed to do what? Clean permissions prevent most internal mishaps.

Email security

Spam and phishing protection, SPF/DKIM/DMARC set up correctly.

Staff awareness

Short, practical training sessions – people are the most important firewall.

02 When things go wrong

A dedicated contact – who knows your IT.

When it counts, what matters is that someone knows your environment and reacts quickly – not a hotline that first has to ask about everything. With us you talk to a dedicated contact, reachable directly by phone, with a reliable partner network of business partners and freelancers in the background when an incident needs more hands. IT security is part of our IT Service – on request we look after your entire IT.

03 When it gets serious

Security is cheaper than the damage.

Before the incident

A security check uncovers gaps before they are exploited – by far the cheapest option.

Ransomware prevention

Tested, separated backups are the most effective protection against encryption trojans.

After the shock

Something has happened? We help with the clean-up and then set up the IT to be resilient.

04 Background

Why SMEs in particular are in the crosshairs

Small and medium-sized businesses are seen as worthwhile targets: often financially solid, but rarely with their own security department. Most incidents are not caused by sophisticated hacks, but by missing updates, weak passwords and careless clicks.

The good news: with manageable effort, the risk can be reduced dramatically. That is exactly where we start – without scaremongering and without overpriced security packages that no one maintains.

What does IT security cost?

An initial security check can be costed by the hour and gives you a prioritised list of actions. Implementation follows by urgency – we start with what brings the greatest protection per euro. Ongoing support is available through our managed services and service packages.

What the security check covers

  • Patch & update status – which systems, applications and devices are lagging behind?
  • Backup test – do backups exist, and can they really be restored?
  • Firewall & permissions – who is allowed to do what, which access points are open?
  • Phishing & email risk – spam protection, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, awareness within the team.

The result is a sober, prioritised list – not a sales pitch, but an honest assessment of what is really urgent.

Data protection: technical measures & evidence

As a company, you must take and document technical and organisational measures (TOMs). We support the technical side – backups, encryption, access control, logging – and provide the evidence your data protection officer wants to see. The legal assessment itself is handled by your data protection officer or lawyer; we make sure the technology behind it is sound.

05 Frequently asked questions

IT security – briefly explained.

Where should we start?
With a security check and a tested backup. Together they cover the biggest risks and create a clear basis for further steps.
Isn’t a virus scanner enough?
No. A virus scanner is one building block, but without updates, backups, permissions and aware staff it remains piecemeal. Security only works as a whole.
We are a small team – is it worth it?
Especially then. Small teams are hit particularly hard by an outage. Even simple measures reduce the risk considerably.
Do you also help in an emergency?
Yes. Get in touch via support – we help with containment, clean-up and a resilient rebuild.

Goes well with it: a company VPN with WireGuard for remote access, device backup that alerts you when a device stops backing up, and backup for Microsoft 365 against deleted emails and files.

Check your security

How secure is your IT really?

Let’s start with a security check – honest, without scaremongering, with a prioritised list of what to do.
