Infrastructure & Hardware Security
Below every application and cloud workload is physical and virtual infrastructure (servers, network devices, firmware) that's frequently the least-reviewed layer of a security programme.
Delivered from our base in Utrecht, available to organisations across the Netherlands.
The problem
Infrastructure and hardware security tends to get attention only when something breaks, because it sits below the layers most security programmes focus on (applications, identity, cloud configuration). Firmware goes unpatched, IoT devices get deployed by facilities teams with no security review, and decommissioned hardware leaves the building without anyone confirming the data on it was actually wiped.
Business impact
A compromise below the operating system (firmware, BIOS, an unmanaged IoT device on the same network as production systems) can be far harder to detect than an application-layer issue, and far harder to remediate once it's established.
This is a cybersecurity capability, not a repair or physical-security service: we assess and harden the technology, not the building it sits in.
Server & workstation hardening
Baseline configuration for the physical and virtual machines your infrastructure runs on.
Network device & firmware security
Routers, switches and firewalls kept current and configured against known device-level risks.
Secure boot & BIOS/UEFI
Firmware-level integrity controls that protect against attacks below the operating system.
IoT device security
Assessing and segmenting the connected devices most infrastructure teams don't fully inventory: cameras, sensors, building systems, and the growing list of things quietly on the network.
Hardware lifecycle & secure disposal
Ensuring decommissioned hardware doesn't leave sensitive data walking out the door.
Physical technology systems
The cybersecurity aspects of access-control and camera systems specifically, not the physical guarding itself.
How this engagement runs
Assess
Understand the current state, real risk, and what's actually driving the need for this work.
Architect
Design the controls and approach that fit your environment, not a generic template.
Implement
Deploy and integrate the work: configuration, code, or process, whichever the engagement calls for.
Validate
Test that it actually holds up, rather than assuming it does because it's been deployed.
Improve
Feed findings back in as your environment and the threat landscape change.
Who this is for
- Organisations running on-premises or hybrid infrastructure without recent hardware-level review
- Companies with IoT devices (cameras, sensors, building systems) they haven't formally inventoried
- Businesses with a hardware decommissioning process that doesn't guarantee secure data disposal
What you get
- A hardware and firmware security baseline
- An IoT device inventory and segmentation plan
- A secure hardware disposal process
- Network device configuration review
Frequently asked questions
Do you provide physical security guarding or PC repair?
No. This is a cybersecurity capability, not a repair or physical-security service. We assess and harden the technology (servers, network devices, firmware, IoT, access-control systems), not the building it sits in or hands-on device repair.
What's the risk with IoT devices specifically?
IoT devices (cameras, sensors, building automation) are frequently deployed without the same security scrutiny as core IT infrastructure, often running outdated firmware with default credentials, and rarely segmented from the rest of the network. They're a genuinely common, under-assessed entry point.
