InfoGuard

What InfoGuard does

InfoGuard AG is a Swiss-headquartered cybersecurity services provider founded in 2001 that delivers a 360° cybersecurity portfolio to enterprises, financial institutions, government entities, and critical infrastructure operators across the DACH region (Switzerland, Germany, Austria). The company operates through six offices in three countries, with two 24/7 Security Operations Centers — one in Baar, Switzerland and one in Neu-Isenburg, Germany — staffed by over 90 German-speaking specialists on continuous 'Eyes-on-Screen' duty. As of 2026, InfoGuard employs over 350 cybersecurity professionals, serves more than 700 customers (the company website cites over 1,000) including 41 of the Top 50 Swiss companies, and generates revenue exceeding CHF 100 million following its January 2025 acquisition of German Communication Systems GmbH (Com-Sys), which was rebranded to InfoGuard Deutschland GmbH in January 2026.

The company's core technology is the proprietary Cyber Defence Platform built on an open, vendor-independent XDR (Extended Detection and Response) architecture, with Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR integrated as the central detection engine. The service portfolio spans six integrated pillars: Cyber Defence (managed SOC/MDR), Incident Response (CSIRT with ransomware negotiation expertise), Managed Security & Network, Penetration Testing & Red Teaming, Security Consulting (NIS2, DORA, ISO 42001, Zero Trust, C-TPRM), and Cloud Security. InfoGuard Labs operates as an internal security research division that has disclosed high-profile vulnerabilities including 'Ghost-Sender' in Microsoft Exchange and a CVSS 10.0 CVE in SEPPMail. The company holds ISO 27001, ISO 14001, and ISAE 3000 Type 2 certifications and processes customer data in compliance with Swiss and German data sovereignty requirements. In June 2026, InfoGuard entered a strategic partnership with DigiCert to extend digital trust (PKI, certificate lifecycle, AI Agent Passports, C2PA content provenance) into AI environments for DACH customers.

InfoGuard's revenue model is anchored on recurring managed SOC/MDR subscriptions billed annually with multi-year contract structures, complemented by retainer-based incident response, project-based penetration testing and red team engagements, and outcome-priced security consulting. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is tailored per customer environment, endpoint count, and scope. The go-to-market is a direct enterprise field-sales motion across the DACH region, supplemented by inside sales for mid-market, customer portal self-service for existing accounts, and thought-leadership demand generation through the cybersecurity blog, whitepapers, tabletop exercises, and the annual Security Lounge conference (~900 attendees in 2026). Customer segments include large enterprises (primary), mid-market organizations, KRITIS/critical infrastructure operators subject to NIS2 and DORA, and companies undergoing corporate restructuring or M&A carve-outs.
