Fundamentals

Cybersecurity and IT Security

Cybersecurity and IT security refer to the protective measures taken to safeguard computer systems, networks and data from unauthorised access and damage. This encompasses technologies such as firewalls, encryption and antivirus software, as well as best security practices such as strong passwords and regular updates, along with the creation of policies and documentation of security measures.


Effective cybersecurity is essential to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information, to defend against cyber attacks and to maintain the trust of customers and business partners. machCon helps make your organisation more secure, detect threats early and identify risks.

ISMS – Building an IT Management Solution

An Information Security Management System (ISMS) is a framework for managing information security within an organisation. It encompasses policies, procedures and processes for identifying, assessing and treating risks. An effective ISMS enables appropriate protective measures to be implemented and maintains information security at a controlled and continuous level. machCon helps build an ISMS according to ISO 27001, BSI IT-Grundschutz, TISAX and KRITIS.

Our Services

Our IT Security Offering

From security awareness to managed security services. Holistic solutions.

Security Awareness Training

Cyber security encompasses far more than just technical elements and starts with the human factor. Security awareness plays a central role in protecting your IT against the ever more sophisticated and growing number of attacks such as ransomware, phishing, social engineering and insider threats. We help you achieve your goals through appropriate awareness training, e.g. phishing simulations.

Business Continuity Management (BCM)

With BCM, you better understand the dependencies within your organisation. We work with you to develop emergency and business continuity plans before a failure scenario even occurs — ensuring that critical business processes and key functions remain available in emergency situations or are available in time before the damage becomes unsustainable.

Security Audit

With an audit, you achieve the "third line of defence": an important strategic component of cyber defence. We identify possible vulnerabilities and assess them according to the Pareto principle, so that maximum results can be achieved with minimal effort.

Resilience

With the resilience of your IT, you achieve a further level of cyber defence. We identify possible security gaps and hidden weaknesses through scans, penetration tests or friendly attack services, assess them according to the Pareto principle and support you with preventive measures such as vulnerability management and CIS Hardening Lifecycle Strategy.

Managed Security Services (CISO as a Service)

With our managed security services, you receive valuable complementary support — whether as CISO as a Service acting as the link between management and IT departments, or for operating a firewall or endpoint security system. As our experts are active in the information security environment, they always have up-to-date know-how.

Security Operations

You want to focus on your core business and need an adequate level of security in your organisation. With our experienced and certified security specialists, you have the option of handing over the security area or parts of it to us. We support you in setting the right priorities and achieving a high maturity level in the security area.
