DHS

What DHS does

DHS (legally DHS Microtron B.V., trading as DHS Informatisering / 'dhs') is a privately held Dutch ICT managed services company founded in 1984 and headquartered at Kanaalstraat 12b in Oss, Netherlands. It provides outsourced IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, backup, cloud, and wireless services primarily to mid-market organizations that lack dedicated internal IT departments, as well as Dutch government municipalities with statutory data-protection and availability obligations. Its service portfolio is organized under four subscription 'add' brands: addbackup (standard backup, Microsoft 365 backup, disaster recovery), addcontrol (full managed services, endpoint management via Microsoft Intune/Autopilot, 24/7 monitoring, servicedesk), addsecurity (firewall, MFA, email security, endpoint protection/EDR, security awareness training), and addwireless (Wi-Fi-as-a-Service), plus addcloud for hosted cloud environments on DHS-owned infrastructure.

The company operates Microsoft-based ICT infrastructure built around its own datacenters in the Netherlands, enabling local data sovereignty, geographic redundancy, and compliance with AVG (GDPR). Proprietary technical differentiators include the DeltaPro incremental backup technique (replicating only changed data for faster backups) and a multi-factor authentication platform supporting iOS, Android, and Windows authenticator apps. DHS maintains ISO 27001-certified information security management and holds eGem connections for government system access, and it cites 99.5% email-fraud detection for its email security service. Documented customer outcomes include sub-2x24-hour disaster recovery for municipal BRP/BAG systems and rapid business resumption for Maaskant Reizen after facility destruction.

DHS's revenue model is entirely subscription-based ('as-a-service') with monthly billing, quote-based pricing tailored to each customer's service mix, and discounts tied to longer-term commitments; the 2025 launch of 'Service Vault' added a pre-investment financing tier with up to 16% discounts on professional services. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: an intake interview is followed by customized proposals, supported by account managers, a sales desk ([email protected]), regional network event participation, and content marketing via the dhs.nl website, blog, and case-study testimonials. The firm is privately owned, holds no external investment or parent entity, employs 11-50 people, and operates exclusively in the Netherlands market with no disclosed subsidiaries, M&A activity, or leadership changes.
