SPIE is strengthening its cybersecurity offering
SPIE Switzerland is launching a comprehensive range of cyber security solutions, which will be available in Switzerland from January 2024. These solutions will provide companies with tailored support that encompasses a range of areas including governance, advice on technologies, and managed services.
The launch of new solutions for Switzerland is a strategic turning point that reflects the company's commitment to cyber security and responds to the market's need for qualified experts.
A four-part approach
SPIE's new cyber security portfolio covers four key areas: governance, technology, services and a Security Operations Centre (SOC). Strategic solutions, governance, risk and compliance solutions, CISO1-as-a-Service (CISOaaS) and DPO2-as-a-Service (DPOaaS) will be available from January 2024, while the SOC will be launched in Q1 2024.
- Governance, risk and compliance (GRC) – The governance model offered by SPIE in Switzerland includes comprehensive analyses that make it possible to evaluate processes, technologies and the company culture with regard to cybersecurity. SPIE ICS AG helps Swiss companies to achieve ISO 27001 certification and perform internal audits and gap analysis. The company also offers its expertise with regard to checking conformity with the CIS Controls V83 and BSI4 standards, and the FADP-nLPD5. In addition, tailored outsourcing solutions are offered to SMEs, which include CISO-as-a-Service (CISOaaS) and DPO-as-a-Service (DPOaaS).
- Technology – In order to offer tailored advice to its customers, SPIE is relying on new partnerships with key IT industry players and a variety of solutions such as Firewalling, EDR, Zero Trust and SASE. Some big names in the financial, governmental and luxury sectors speak very highly of SPIE's expertise.
- Services – SPIE's services include training sessions to improve employees security knowledge, vulnerability assessments to ensure that assets and suppliers are protected at all times, comprehensive intrusion tests on infrastructure and applications, and code reviews.
- Security Operations Centre (SOC) – A SOC service will be launched in Q1 of 2024. It will use state-of-the-art AI technology and offer complete coverage of various facets of security.
"Cyber security is not just about the technology deployed, it's about fostering a company culture that promotes vigilance and resilience," highlights Christophe Francey, Chief Technology Officer at SPIE ICS AG. "Bolstered by its experience in the IT and multi-technical services sectors, SPIE is combining its skills to meet its customers' cyber security needs. Our new solution, the only one of its kind on the Swiss market, enables us to enhance the security of Swiss companies and help them develop their business and will be a major growth driver for SPIE ICS AG in the future."
