Swiss IT Security AG

What Swiss IT Security AG does

Swiss IT Security AG, operating commercially as SITS Group ("SITS | Simplify Cyber Security"), is a privately held European cybersecurity services provider headquartered in Pfäffikon, Switzerland, founded in 2017. The company delivers professional and managed cybersecurity services through a unified "SITS Security Suite" that bundles six interlocking practice areas: Microsoft Services, IT Security Consulting, a Cyber Defense Center, Secure IT Services, Identity & Access Management, and Cryptographic Solutions. It does not sell standalone software products; its offerings are predominantly people-led services, ranging from advisory (CISO-as-a-Service, Secure AI, Pentesting/PTaaS, Business Continuity, Compliance) through to 24/7 managed protection (SOC, SIEM, Managed XDR, IT emergency management, vulnerability management, threat intelligence). Technology delivery leans heavily on the Microsoft security stack (Entra Suite, Copilot and Copilot Studio, Defender, Sentinel) supplemented by Omada for identity governance via the SITS|Traxion sub-brand.

Revenue is generated through three integrated streams: project-based professional services and consulting, recurring managed security services (SOC, MXDR, ongoing security operations), and subscription-based "as-a-Service" offerings such as CISO-as-a-Service, PAM-as-a-Service, and NIS2-as-a-Service. Pricing is quote-based with tailored enterprise proposals; no public pricing exists. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales plus consultative selling, distributed across direct country teams in Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, and other European markets, with a Traxion reseller partnership for IAM in the Benelux.

The company serves more than 2,500 customers — predominantly large enterprises and public-sector organizations — including Randstad (45,000+ users across 39 countries), Bayer 04 Leverkusen, LeasePlan (12,000+ users across 30 countries), the Municipality of Utrecht (8,500+ users), ITSG, Ramudden, Eurostyle Systems, and finstreet. It concentrates on four primary verticals (healthcare, public sector, critical infrastructure, large enterprises) and operates from 15 branches in 6 countries, with broader market presence declared across most of Western and Northern Europe and selected North American jurisdictions. The group has expanded primarily through acquisition: ExpertCircle (2018), Zapp IT (2019), Applied Security (2020), Traxion (2021), and SecureDevice (2022).
