Fasternet

What Fasternet does

Fasternet is an Italian cybersecurity and IT services company founded in Borgosatollo, Italy, that merged with Personal Data in 2023 and now operates as part of the WeAreProject polytechnological ecosystem. The combined entity delivers a portfolio spanning five core solution areas: Hybrid Multicloud infrastructure, Managed Services for IT asset supervision with performance guarantees, enterprise Networking design and management, Security (including NIS2 compliance advisory and cybersecurity culture programs), and Digital Workspace solutions. This core infrastructure stack is complemented by an Application & Data division providing Software ERP, Manufacturing Execution Systems, Document Management, Business Process Management, and Data Analysis implementations. Underlying technology is built on partnerships with major vendors including Cisco, Fortinet, Red Hat, Commvault, NetApp, Citrix, Cato, RSA, Trend Micro, Proofpoint, and SentinelOne — Fasternet is a systems integrator rather than a proprietary software vendor, with no patents or proprietary technology disclosed.

The company serves Italian enterprises through a direct, sales-led B2B motion, employing 80+ staff and operating from its headquarters at Via Orzinuovi 20, Brescia. Revenue is generated primarily through managed services contracts and professional services implementations under a quote-based enterprise pricing model; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. The combined entity reports €27M+ in revenue, 40+ years of operating history (anchored by Personal Data's 1981 founding), and 100+ technology partnerships, serving a horizontal customer base across Italian businesses seeking digital transformation, IT modernization, and cybersecurity compliance. Fasternet itself was a cybersecurity-focused firm; its 2023 merger into Personal Data was specifically positioned to strengthen cybersecurity competencies and expand domestic Italian territorial coverage. Geographic footprint is Italy-only with no disclosed international expansion.
