Estimated group-level annual revenue is approximately €380 million.

The company pursues a B2B direct enterprise sales model, developing individual security concepts in close coordination with clients across industrial/manufacturing (primary), financial institutions, trade/media/events, and general commercial verticals. Named enterprise customers include DOW Olefinverbund GmbH (chemical/industrial), DSM Nutritional Products GmbH (chemical/pharmaceutical), and an automotive manufacturer in Leipzig.
