Information security for businesses
We don’t sell products and we don’t patch problems. We build a tailored information security model, governance, technology and processes working together, because real cybersecurity is not a separate function: it is part of the infrastructure a company grows with.

How we think about it
We structure cybersecurity around the five functions of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. Each function answers a concrete question from the C-level, and behind each answer there is a set of technical services the IT team can dig into.
01 · Govern
We structure governance, policies and security procedures aligned with recognised frameworks. Our management system is certified ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, 27018 and ISO 9001 and qualified by ACN (the Italian National Cybersecurity Agency). We guide you to compliance with assessments, gap analysis and audit support.
Proof · Clusit members · ACN-qualified · Operating since 2000
02 · Identify
We map infrastructure, identities, applications and data flows. We identify known vulnerabilities (CVEs) and misconfigurations before they are exploited. We simulate real attacks to measure how easy it is to compromise your systems and to set the priorities for action.
Proof · 106 NIST CSF 2.0 controls · Measurable report online
03 · Protect
We build the defensive stack that blocks the most common attacks: phishing, ransomware, credential theft, unauthorised access. Identity is the new perimeter: we protect it with phishing-resistant authentication and time-limited access. People are the first layer: we train them with concrete simulations.
Proof · Certified defensive stack · Centrally managed endpoints
04 · Detect
A modern EDR/XDR platform correlates signals from endpoints, network, email and cloud to uncover attacks that get past passive defences. Containment is automatic as soon as something deviates from normal behaviour, out of hours too; analysis and decisions are made by our team during business hours, with extended coverage defined in the contract.
Proof · Cross-domain detection · Automatic containment
05 · Respond & Recover
When an incident happens, time matters. We contain the attack, isolate the compromised systems, preserve the evidence for forensics and restore operations. We guide you through the mandatory notifications to the national CSIRT: early warning within 24 hours and formal notification within 72 hours, as NIS2 requires.
Proof · Early warning 24h · Formal notification 72h (NIS2)
Reference frameworks
We adopt NIST, CIS and ISO/IEC as our base frameworks: a solid, systematic and verifiable structure, consistent with the requirements of European regulation.
Risk management
Framework for managing cyber risk. Six functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover.
Prioritised controls
Evidence-based, prioritised controls that significantly reduce vulnerabilities through concrete actions.
Management system
The standard for information security management, complemented by 27017 and 27018 for cloud services.
From the field
Under our confidentiality agreements we give no names or direct references. These are concrete scenarios handled for Italian companies of different sectors and sizes.
NIST · Govern
NIS2 entity without a structured compliance framework. Full gap analysis carried out, missing policies defined, CSIRT contact and 24h/72h notification procedures organised. Audit-ready.
NIST · Identify
Publicly accessible cloud resources due to misconfigurations found during a vulnerability assessment. Access secured, least-privilege policies and audit logging enabled.
NIST · Protect
Suspicious activity indicating an infection attempt detected. Compromised system isolated automatically, no lateral spread, no data loss.
NIST · Protect
Fraudulent email disguised as a business partner, addressed to a C-level. Identified and blocked by advanced filters before reaching the mailbox.
NIST · Detect
Malicious activity that had gone unnoticed by automated controls identified, along with vulnerabilities not yet exploited. Targeted corrective actions applied promptly.
NIST · Respond
Exposed credentials and anomalous access detected by automated controls. Session revoked, MFA reset, malicious forwarding rules removed, mailbox and devices verified. Operations restored within hours.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our information security services for businesses.
We offer a complete range of information security services: vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, incident response and recovery, EDR/XDR, firewall and network protection, security awareness, identity protection and a Zero Trust approach. From our headquarters in Piacenza we operate across Italy.
The first step is an assessment of your security posture based on recognised frameworks such as NIST CSF 2.0. It identifies the critical areas and lets you define a structured action plan that brings together governance, technology and processes. We offer a free online assessment to get started.
A vulnerability assessment is a systematic analysis of the IT infrastructure to identify known vulnerabilities (CVEs) and misconfigurations before attackers can exploit them. It is the starting point of any effective cybersecurity strategy.
A vulnerability assessment identifies vulnerabilities in an automated, systematic way. A penetration test goes further: it simulates a real attack to verify whether and how those vulnerabilities can actually be exploited. They are complementary approaches that together give a complete view of the risk.
The NIS2 Directive applies to medium and large enterprises in essential and important sectors: energy, transport, healthcare, digital infrastructure, public administration, manufacturing, food and others. Smaller companies in the supply chain of those sectors may be affected too. We can help you check whether your company falls within the scope.
We are certified ISO/IEC 27001, 27017 and 27018 for information security and cloud services management, and ISO 9001 for quality. We are qualified by ACN (the Italian National Cybersecurity Agency) to deliver cloud services to the public sector, members of Clusit (the Italian Association for Information Security) and a member company of Confindustria Piacenza.
Our headquarters are in Piacenza, but we operate throughout Italy. Many of our services, monitoring, endpoint management, incident response, are delivered remotely. For on-site activities such as penetration tests on physical infrastructure, we work directly at the customer’s premises.
