What apro.gmbh does

apro.gmbh (legal entity: apro.gmbh Computer & Dienstleistung) is a German IT security and information security consultancy headquartered in Erfurt, operating as a subsidiary of the RWTÜV Gruppe. The firm advises and supports companies and public administrations across Germany and Europe on regulatory frameworks including BSIG, BDSG, BSI Standard 200-x, ISO 27001, and ISO 22301, with additional offerings in emergency management, project management, and classified protection (GHB/VSA). Services are organized into three practice teams — APRO.CON (organizational information security), APRO.LAB (technical security architecture), and APRO.DEV (secure software development, DevSecOps, Kubernetes) — delivered against named methodologies covering ISMS implementation, BCM, high-availability infrastructure, and code testing across Java, C++, Python, C#, PHP, and JavaScript.

The product portfolio layers consulting with four branded solutions: apro.fusion for IT integration and network automation; apro.secure, a managed security service powered by 3CoreSec software with three publicly disclosed subscription tiers (90°, 180°, 360°) ranging from 8/5 monitoring to 24/7 SOC coverage with defined response SLAs; Secobo, a compliance management platform integrating ISO 27001, ISO 9001, OWASP, and BSI IT-Grundschutz; and CSK-Allianz, a four-module cybersecurity training program under RWTÜV targeting KRITIS operators and IKT product manufacturers. Hardware and technology partnerships span Genua, Secunet, Check Point, Fortinet, Sophos, Cisco, ECOS, OpenBSD, and WatchGuard for security architecture engagements.

The firm operates on a hybrid revenue model: project-based and retainer professional services on the consulting side, supplemented by recurring subscription revenue from managed security (apro.secure) and platform-adjacent compliance services (Secobo). GTM is sales-led through a dedicated Key Account Manager and leverages the RWTÜV referral network; the firm is expanding with a Cologne branch opening January 1, 2025 and a planned Berlin branch. Target customers are concentrated in regulated verticals: public administration, healthcare, finance, critical infrastructure operators, and IKT manufacturers.
