Firewall

What Firewall does

Firewall S.r.l. is a privately held Italian ICT services company headquartered in Vigevano, Province of Pavia, Italy. Operating as an S.r.l. (Italian private limited company), the firm delivers a horizontally diversified portfolio of professional services organized around four pillars: web development and digital marketing (custom websites, e-commerce platforms, UX/UI design, graphic design); cybersecurity (vulnerability assessment, multi-vector penetration testing across web, network, wireless, and mobile, plus AI-powered Breach & Attack Simulation and 24/7 incident response); GDPR/NIS2/DORA/Whistleblowing compliance with appointed DPO services; and Industry 4.0/5.0 IoT solutions integrating SCADA, PLCs (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Beckhoff) via OPC-UA, Modbus, and MQTT for OEE tracking, predictive maintenance, and ERP/MES integration with digital twin capabilities.

The company is built on a project-based and retainer professional services model rather than productized software. Revenue mix spans custom software development, IT/OT system integration (with a hardware resale component), and compliance retainers, all delivered through a direct sales motion via website contact forms, phone (+39 0381 903154), email, and "Book a call" consultations targeted exclusively at the Italian domestic market. Customer segmentation is broad (Italian B2B spanning SMBs, regulated entities, security-conscious enterprises, and manufacturers) with no disclosed named customers, no public pricing tiers, and a stated track record of 500+ completed projects and 25+ years of ICT experience. Technology delivery is anchored by a multi-vendor partner ecosystem including Microsoft, Google Cloud, AWS, Sophos, Fortinet, Palo Alto (ELITE), CrowdStrike (ELITE), SentinelOne (ELITE), Cisco, and VMware — providing both cloud and cybersecurity platform breadth but also signaling dependency on third-party vendor stacks.
