We protect your IT environment — from network and infrastructure through cloud to the endpoint: assessed and implemented by risk, not by product catalog. Cyberattacks increasingly hit mid-sized companies and corporations, while internally there is often a lack of time, specialist knowledge, and resources. sector7 supports you from the cyber security strategy through technical implementation to the ongoing operation of your security solutions — transparently, measurably, and closely aligned with your IT.
Cyber security: from strategy to managed security service
Effective security does not come from more products, but from assessed risks. Hybrid workplaces, cloud services, mobile devices, and connected locations continuously enlarge the attack surface — many companies respond to this with individual products or island solutions, and the result is a complex security landscape that is hard to operate.
sector7 helps you transform this patchwork into a clear security architecture with defined processes. We combine:
- Cyber security consulting & concept design
- Implementation of modern IT security solutions
- Managed security services for ongoing operation
This creates a security level that fits your company technically, organizationally, and economically.
Our services in the area of cyber security & IT security
Security strategy & architecture
We analyze your current IT security landscape, identify risks, and develop a target picture for your cyber security architecture. Based on a clear roadmap, we implement prioritized measures — without slowing down your IT operation.
- Assessment of network, infrastructure, cloud & applications
- Risk analysis and security concept
- Roadmap for short, medium, and long-term security measures
Network & perimeter security
Modern network security forms the basis of effective cyber security. We plan, implement, and operate:
- Next-generation firewalls and secure site interconnection
- Segmentation of networks (e.g. by location, department, OT/IT)
- VPN and remote access solutions for mobile and hybrid working
- Zero-trust approaches and clean rule sets for more transparency
Endpoint, server & email security
Attacks often start at the endpoint or by email. We combine endpoint security, server hardening, and email security to protect your systems end to end:
- Protection of clients, servers, and mobile devices
- Hardening of operating systems and standard services
- Email security against spam, malware, and phishing
- Automated update and patch strategies
Cloud security & identity management
Cloud services are indispensable to modern IT — which makes securing them all the more important. We take care of:
- Cloud security for public, private, and hybrid cloud environments
- Security policies and best practices for Microsoft 365 & co.
- Identity & access management (IAM) and multi-factor authentication
- Governance, compliance, and logging of access
Security monitoring & incident support
Visibility is the key to effective cyber security. sector7 supports you in building a central security monitoring capability and offers matching managed services:
- Buildout or integration of log and SIEM platforms
- Definition of use cases, alarm rules, and playbooks
- Analysis of security events and support in the incident case
- Taking over subtasks as part of managed security services
Identity, access & governance
Who may do what — and why? We support you with a clean permission and role model that combines security and productivity:
- Role and permission concepts (RBAC)
- Management of privileged accounts (privileged access)
- Multi-factor authentication and secure login processes
- Policies, documentation, and audits
Awareness & IT security training
People remain a critical factor in cyber security. With practical training, we raise the security awareness of your employees — and at the same time generate the evidence that cyber insurers and NIS-2 audits increasingly require:
- Awareness programs on phishing, social engineering & password security
- Role-specific training for IT, business departments, and management
- Phishing simulations with evaluation — as recurring, documented evidence for insurers and audits
- Optional: recurring training and campaigns as a managed service
Vulnerability scans as a service
Recurring, automated vulnerability scans — externally on your attack surface on the internet, internally on systems and services — with prioritized remediation via our patch management. This turns an annual snapshot into an ongoing process. For in-depth manual penetration tests we work with specialized testers — whose findings we then implement together with you.
Managed detection & response (MDR)
We offer a 24/7 SOC together with our vendor partners: specialized analyst teams such as FortiGuard MDR or Microsoft Defender Experts handle detection around the clock. We select the right service for your environment, integrate it, and steer it during ongoing operation — interlocked with our NOC monitoring and patch management. This gives you enterprise detection at mid-market conditions, with a single point of contact who knows your environment personally.
Managed security services: security as an ongoing service
With sector7's managed security services you transfer recurring tasks to us — without giving up authority over your IT. Monitoring of managed systems runs automatically around the clock via our NOC; detected anomalies are handled according to the contractually agreed processes and urgencies.
- Operation of defined security solutions (e.g. firewalls, VPN, endpoint security)
- Monitoring of security events and system states
- Regular reports, evaluations, and action recommendations
- Clearly defined SLAs and contacts
Your advantage: your internal teams are relieved without forgoing transparency and control.
Your advantages with sector7 as IT service provider & managed service provider
Security and IT operation from a single source
We always consider IT security in the context of your entire IT operation. Network, server, cloud, and applications are not thought of in isolation, but as a whole. This reduces complexity and interface problems.
Relieving your IT through managed security services
Security operation ties up valuable specialists. With our managed security services we take over recurring tasks, monitoring, and maintenance of defined security components — your team gains time for strategic projects and innovation.
A step-by-step start instead of a big-bang project
We prioritize measures together with you by risk, effort, and benefit. This lets you:
- start with manageable projects,
- achieve quick improvements, and
- expand your security landscape in a controlled way.
Transparency through clear services & reporting
Service descriptions, SLAs, and regular reports ensure that you always know:
- which services you receive from sector7,
- how your security level is developing, and
- where action is needed.
Vendor-independent, practical consulting
We orient ourselves to your requirements — not to a single product line. This lets us combine solutions from different vendors where it makes technical sense, and integrate them into your existing IT landscape.
Next step: your cyber security conversation with sector7
Let us talk about your current security level. Whether you want to make better use of your existing solutions, secure remote access and cloud, or partially outsource security tasks — we always start with a structured look at your IT security. For an acute emergency — even without an existing customer relationship — you will find the procedure on our emergency page at sector7.eu/it-notfall.

Frequently asked questions
Do we have to replace our existing security products if we work with you?
No. We first assess what your existing solutions deliver and whether they are correctly configured and operated — often the greatest short-term potential lies there. Only what represents a demonstrable risk or has become uneconomical is replaced, and that too step by step by priority.
What happens if a security incident occurs at our company?
For managed environments we detect anomalies through our 24/7 monitoring and respond according to previously agreed processes: containment, analysis, recovery, and a traceable documentation of the sequence. Which systems are monitored how, and who is informed when, we define together contractually and in the emergency plan — before anything happens.
How do we start sensibly without setting up a huge security project?
With an assessment and a risk evaluation, from which a prioritized roadmap emerges. The measures are sorted by risk, effort, and benefit, so that you begin with manageable steps and achieve quick, measurable improvements. A big-bang project is neither necessary nor advisable.
Do we keep control of our IT if you take over security tasks?
Yes, that is explicitly part of the model. You delegate defined, recurring tasks — for example firewall operation or monitoring — and keep authority over systems, access, and decisions. Regular reports and open communication with your internal IT ensure that no black-box operation arises.
