IT Security for SMEs

Protection measures that work in practice.

Practical IT security for small and mid-sized businesses. On-site in Berlin and Brandenburg, remotely across Germany.

Intro

Security starts with everyday access.

We help small and mid-sized businesses protect their IT sensibly in day-to-day operations. We review the starting point and prioritise measures for accounts, MFA, updates, endpoints, servers, networks and the workflows that matter most.

IT security is not a one-off badge but a process that needs regular review. We review systems from an operational perspective and do not provide classical vulnerability scans. We provide technical support within the agreed scope. Penetration testing, SOC/MDR operations, certifications and blanket security guarantees are not included.

Concretely

What we do in detail

  • Technical review of devices, systems, access and everyday operational weaknesses
  • MFA and traceable, secured accounts for staff and administrators
  • Patch and update management for agreed endpoints, servers and important applications
  • Hardening and baseline settings for endpoints and servers within the agreed scope
  • Regularly review permissions, administrative accounts and separate access paths
  • Plan network segmentation and firewall rules as connected protection measures
  • Monitoring and logging of agreed signals so unusual activity becomes visible
  • Treat backup as part of resilience and align it with the recovery process
  • Document measures, responsibilities and open points
  • Review and adjust the setup as devices, users and workflows change
  • Remote support across Germany and on-site support in Berlin and Brandenburg
Outcome

What you receive

  • Prioritised measures for access, systems and networks
  • Agreed MFA, permission and update measures
  • Protection measures implemented and documented within the agreed scope
  • Traceable overview of open points and responsibilities
  • Regular review points for new devices, users and requirements
Our process

How we work

  1. Review the starting point

    We map devices, users, systems, access, updates, network areas and existing documentation. We focus on risks that matter in your day-to-day operation.

  2. Prioritise the measures

    Together we order the next steps by risk, effort and dependencies. This includes MFA, updates, permissions, segmentation and monitoring.

  3. Implement improvements

    We implement agreed measures within the right scope, coordinate changes and take maintenance windows and team workflows into account.

  4. Review the security setup

    We document changes, discuss open points and check regularly whether new devices, users or requirements call for adjustments.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Which security measures matter most for small businesses?
Clear accounts and permissions, MFA for important access, timely updates, secured endpoints and tested backups are a strong starting point. The right order depends on your environment and daily workflows.
Do you support MFA?
Yes. We support planning and setup of MFA for agreed user and administrator access, for example for cloud services, remote access and important management interfaces.
Do you review existing systems?
Yes. We review devices, servers, users, permissions, updates, network areas and existing documentation. From that, we derive concrete, prioritised measures for the agreed scope.
How are backup and IT security connected?
Backup is an important part of resilience: it limits the impact of mistakes, incidents or data loss. It does not replace secure access, updates or permissions. We align backup, monitoring and recovery with our detailed Backup & Disaster Recovery service.
Can firewall and network segmentation be improved?
Yes. We consider security areas, VLANs, required connections and firewall rules together. The Firewall & VPN service describes the specific planning of firewalls and VPN access in more detail.
Do you provide classical vulnerability scans?
No. We do not provide classical vulnerability scans. Instead, we review systems from an operational perspective, including access, permissions, updates, configuration, segmentation, monitoring and recovery.
Do you provide penetration testing or SOC/MDR operations?
No. Our service focuses on practical technical protection measures that we plan, implement and review within the agreed scope. Penetration testing, SOC/MDR operations, certifications and formal compliance consulting are not part of this offer.
