Security Services

IT systems are the core of your business. DATAGROUP security services provide your IT with reliable protection against threats through holistic security concepts.

IT and security are inseparable

Threats to IT systems are diverse and become increasingly more complex. This means that the basic defenses such as firewalls, antivirus protection and patch management are no longer sufficient to protect your IT as best as possible. DATAGROUP Security Services offer additional protection against threats and hackers that goes beyond the basic coverage: thanks to highly effective, integrated security concepts you are one step ahead of attackers.

DATAGROUP’s major advantage in security is that we cover all facets of information security. In this respect, we are geared to the NIST Framework: Identify – Protect – Detect – Respond – Recover. You do not have to deal with countless different providers or find the right approach and the right tools yourself. We take care of precisely this demand analysis by carrying out a security assessment together with you. We stand by your side and assist you with our longstanding competence, ensuring that all aspects of information security are closely interlinked and work together smoothly. Simply get in touch with us to embark on the path to a secure future.

Penetration Testing

Black box testing is an objective approach to examine a system’s functionality without any knowledge of internal details. External input is analyzed to detect potential errors. This type of testing guarantees quality and reliability in different development stages without requiring insights into the system architecture.

Grey box testing offers a concerted test strategy, which combines the elements of black box and white box testing. It offers selective insights into the internal structure of a system without disclosing all details. This methodology allows for precise tests of certain components whilst keeping the impartiality of black box testing. An ideal approach to understand complex systems and identify weaknesses. 

In addition to the test object itself, white box testing provides information about its functionality or architecture. This includes, for instance, architecture and system diagrams, source code, access data for test accounts or access to administrative interfaces of the system to be tested.

Our Security Services offer a holistic solution for the protection of your systems. Thanks to an early identification of vulnerabilities and simulation of real attack scenarios we ensure a robust IT infrastructure. Internal and external penetration testing and web application testing help to identify security gaps and to prevent potential attacks.

Internal Infrastructure Penetration Testing

With our internal pen testing we simulate attacks from inside a network. Our experienced security analysts take the role of a malicious insider to identify potential threats within your company network. We check your access controls, weaknesses in network configuration and applications as well as the effectiveness of security regulations and processes.

External Infrastructure Penetration Testing

Our external network pen testing simulates a real hacker attack from outside the network. We analyze your publicly available IT systems such as web servers, firewalls and VPN for potential vulnerabilities. This analysis involves known but also specific methods of attack to identify security gaps. Our detailed reports help you to understand security risks and to take effective countermeasures.

Penetration Testing of Web Applications

Our web application pen testing simulates a real attack to your web applications from different perspectives. We use a combination of automated scans and manual tests to identify potential vulnerabilities. This includes SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), authentication bypass, and other attack vectors. It is our aim to assess the security of your web applications and to provide inside-driven recommendations to eliminate vulnerabilities

Penetration Testing of APIs 

Our API pen testing focuses on the application interfaces. We examine the access controls, data validation, error handling, and other security aspects of your API. By identifying vulnerabilities, we help you to improve the security of your applications and to provide your customers and partners with trustworthy interfaces.

Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Our team simulates attacks to mobile applications for Android and iOS. We examine the security of your app both on the client and on the server side. This includes the analysis of encrypted data transfers, secure storage of user data, secure authentication and authorization, and the prevention of reverse engineering and manipulation of the app.

Source Code Review / Audit

Our source code audit includes thorough tests of your application source code for potential security gaps and programming errors. We analyze the code quality, adherence to safety standards, use of secure libraries and frameworks as well as potential backdoor or injection attacks. Our detailed reports include recommendations for code improvement and risk minimization.

Incident Response

The DATAGROUP Incident Response Service is a key factor for the protection of your IT infrastructure. Our services in this area offer you support and expert advice in times of security threats. We recognize the need for fast and precise action to minimize potential damages and to effectively protect your business operations or to restore them as fast as possible. Our services ensure that your company is optimally looked after and receives the best possible advice in critical situations.       

Every second counts when a security incident occurs. Our experienced team of more than 300 experts is available around the clock to respond to incidents and to limit their effects. Our 24/7 hotline is at your service to classify the incident correctly and to take further steps.
