IT Security
How do I identify IT Security Gaps in my business?
Attacks on corporate networks are no longer the exception. The question is not if, but when your IT infrastructure will come under fire. As a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), we don’t just respond to cyberattacks, we detect them before they cause damage.
Our IT systems house covers all areas of cybersecurity: from cyber risk analysis and vulnerability assessments to protective solutions, managed firewall, and 24/7 monitoring.
For over 20 years, as a certified Cisco partner, we have relied on proven security technologies, always implemented according to the Zero Trust principle and established information security standards.
We address regulatory requirements including NIS2, ISO 27001, DORA, and TISAX.
Our expertise
Cyber Risk AnalysisCyber Risiko Analyse
A one-time audit is not enough. The threat landscape keeps evolving, and your security strategy needs to keep pace.
Managed IT Security
The most important protective measure against cyberattacks and ransomware in your network is the configuration, updating, and monitoring of your firewall.

Cyber Risk Analysis
A one-time audit is not enough. The threat landscape keeps evolving, and your security strategy needs to keep pace. Our experts start with a structured cyber risk analysis and assess your entire IT infrastructure at both the technical and organizational level, from vulnerability scanning to a comprehensive gap analysis. We support you with a concrete roadmap for the next 18 months, tailored to your compliance requirements (NIS2, ISO 27001), industry, and company size.
- Firewall rule sets, network structure, endpoint protection & cloud security
- DNS protection, home office security & third-party vendor access
- Alerting, monitoring & incident response procedures
- Emergency handbook & organizational security structures
This is how we proceed with your cyber security check

Security Coaching
You want to manage information security strategically, rather than just delegate it? Then our Security Coaching is the right starting point. Through 1:1 sessions and hands-on units, we work together to build a solid security foundation.
- 10 selectable modules: from technical understanding to security culture
- Technik allein reicht nicht: Wir verbinden technische Maßnahmen mit Prozessen, Mitarbeitenden und Compliance-Anforderungen
- IT risk management: identify, assess, and strategically manage risks
- Clear roadmap: the foundation for your ISMS instead of short-term individual measures
- Security is not a project with a finish line. We support you long-term and continuously adapt measures as needed.
Managed IT Security
The most important protective measure against cyberattacks and ransomware in your network is the configuration, updating, and monitoring of your firewall. As a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), we rely on the Next-Generation Firewalls Firepower and Meraki from our long-standing partner Cisco. This includes an Intrusion Prevention System (IDS/IPS) as well as 24/7 monitoring by our security experts. Our Firewall as a Service is not based on an “Any/Any” rule set, but on a carefully developed, granular Zero Trust rule set.
- 24/7 monitoring and active threat defense
- Next-Generation Firewall (Cisco Firepower and Meraki) with integrated IDS/IPS packet filtering
- Consistent network security through VPN connectivity for home office, locations, and cloud
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA / 2FA)
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA / 2FA)
- Transparent and predictable fixed costs (OPEX instead of CAPEX) including hardware and licenses
- Cisco Umbrella for location-independent managed DNS and web security across all devices
Workplace Security
We know that most attacks start on your users’ devices. At the USB port, in the browser, or with an email that looks harmless. New work models and hybrid working have only expanded this attack surface. That is why Modern Workplace Security is our focus, to reliably protect both the data on your devices and your Microsoft 365 environment. As a certified Microsoft and Cisco partner, we combine the strengths of both platforms, for protection against cyber threats, centralized management, and compliance with regulatory requirements (NIS2, ISO 27001).
- Endpoint Security: device protection & antivirus with AI-powered detection (EDR/XDR)
- Email Security: spam and phishing protection, cloud mailbox defense
- Entra ID, Conditional Access, Single Sign-On & Zero Trust architecture
- Device management (BYOD, admin permissions, asset management)
- DNS & web security and Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
- Microsoft Security Score Optimierung für Ihre M365-Umgebung
- Identity & Access Management, Multi-Faktor-Authentifizierung

Questions we get asked frequently
Our experts analyze your IT infrastructure at both the technical and organizational level, from firewall rule sets and cloud security to home office connections. We combine automated vulnerability scans (vulnerability assessment), a breach analysis, and a gap analysis against relevant compliance standards such as NIS2 and ISO 27001. The result is a concrete action roadmap for the next 18 months, tailored to your industry and company size.
A vulnerability assessment is an automated scan that systematically identifies known security gaps in your IT infrastructure. A penetration test goes further: our experts simulate real, manual attacks to uncover complex vulnerabilities that no scanner can detect. Anyone who wants to know how far a real attacker could get cannot avoid a penetration test.
Zero Trust is based on the principle of "never trust, always verify": no user and no device is automatically trusted, not even within your own network. This is especially critical for companies with hybrid working, cloud services, and external access, because traditional network boundaries have long since dissolved. As a certified Cisco partner, Specific Group implements Zero Trust architectures, including MFA, Conditional Access, and granular access control
As a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), we handle the operational measures that NIS2 specifically requires. This includes 24/7 monitoring, managed firewall, vulnerability assessments, security reporting, and security awareness training. We also guide you through the requirements of NIS2, ISO 27001, DORA, and TISAX with an individual roadmap, from the initial cyber security analysis through to documented implementation.
For mid-sized companies without their own security department, an MSSP is generally the more cost-effective choice. Instead of unpredictable investments in hardware, licenses, and personnel, you pay a monthly fixed fee, including 24/7 monitoring and ongoing updates. In a free initial consultation, we will show you which model fits your situation.
