What SITS Group does

SITS Group AG is a privately held Swiss-headquartered cybersecurity services company headquartered in Wettingen, Switzerland, operating across six European countries (Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark) through 15 branches and approximately 700 employees. The company delivers an integrated cybersecurity portfolio organized as the SITS Security Suite, covering five interlocking service areas: Microsoft Services (Copilot, IAM Modernization, Cloud Platform Transformation, Threat Protection, Data Security), Security Advisory (Secure AI, Compliance Management, Pentesting, ISMS, CISO as a Service), Cyber Defense Center (SOC, SIEM, MXDR, Incident Response, Threat Intelligence), Secure IT Services (Managed and Professional Services), and Identity & Access Management (Access Management, IGA, PAM, PAM as a Service). Underlying technology is built primarily around the Microsoft security stack (Entra, Sentinel, Defender, Copilot, Azure) supplemented by proprietary and partner-integrated assets including SITS|Traxion (Omada-based IAM), fideAS file enterprise encryption, the SITS Sovereign Cloud offering, and a research/testing capability via the AV-Test GmbH subsidiary.

The business model is services-led, monetized through (a) project-based professional services for assessments, compliance, IAM modernization, and cloud security implementations, (b) recurring managed services contracts for SOC, MXDR, and IT outsourcing, and (c) subscription/aaS offerings such as NIS2 as a Service, PAM as a Service, and CISO as a Service. Pricing is custom and quote-based, billed annually for managed engagements. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales augmented by event-driven demand generation (annual SITS Sovereign Summit, trade shows, webinars) and a Microsoft partner channel. Customers — 2,500+ in total — span healthcare, public sector, financial services, automotive (TISAX), and large multi-national enterprises (e.g., Randstad, LeasePlan, Bayer 04 Leverkusen, ITSG, Municipality of Utrecht). The group is owned by private interests with no disclosed PE/VC backing; Pascal Keller-Bossart serves as CEO.
