Softline
Paving the way for Cloud Security

Softline is an all-inclusive IT service provider and an independent global leader in cybersecurity, enhancing every aspect of digital transformation with comprehensive solutions. It specializes in consulting, implementing and operating IT infrastructure in the cloud, on-premise or hybrid environment.

“We aim to enhance clients’ business performance by ensuring security and offering a broad range of project and managed services to support their cloud journey. Our expertise lies in Microsoft 365 and the Azure environment, particularly in M365 security assessment and modern workplace assessment,” says Holger Maul, CEO of Softline.

Through M365 security assessment, Softline identifies potential security gaps, protects systems and prevents data breaches. Once the M365 products are deployed, the company compares them with the existing tools for better configurations. Following this, a report is created that includes optimization opportunities, security strategy recommendations, real-time information and a roadmap to assist clients in implementing the proposed actions.

The comprehensive security assessment enhances the security posture while maximizing benefits for end users. Similarly, Softline conducts modern workplace assessments, empowering clients to establish a foundation for contemporary working environments.

The evaluation starts by gaining initial insight into the client’s company structure, including size, IT infrastructure, challenges and goals. Through this data analysis, Softline conducts a workshop to create a report of the best recommendations suitable for clients.

The new workspace setup enables organizations to boost performance by improving production, collaboration and communication. It also provides other benefits, like imbibing a positive work culture, integrating new technology and striking the right balance between investment and added value.

“These two assessments help clients maximize their investment in M365 and Azure for security and enhanced productivity,” says Maul.

Softline’s other standalone solution to optimize the IT infrastructure is Privileged Access Management (PAM). The company designed the tool for administrators to access dynamic rights in self-service and work with the lowest possible authorizations. The most crucial aspect of this customized device is that it can be assessed directly from end users’ browsers, strengthening IT security and minimizing cyber risks for clients.

We aim to enhance our clients’ business performance by ensuring security and offering a broad range of project and managed services to support their cloud journey. Our priority is to navigate the pain points of clients from any location and deliver the best possible solutions to optimize efficiency.

The company is committed to delivering excellence in every service by engaging in strategic partnerships. The collaboration contributes to enhancing IT infrastructure, which serves as a differentiating factor. For instance, it has partnered with Ultimaco, a technology nerd in the field of encryption that specializes in developing hardware security modules (HSM) and cybersecurity solutions. Softline is their exclusive and sole partner for LAN-Crypt, a software solution that secures data within local area networks (LAN) and Cloud environments too.

Another example is Softline’s collaboration with DigiFors, an IT forensics company closely associated with judicial authorities. Together, they offered a state-of-the-art managed service, a security operations center (SOC) for customers with increased security requirements who, for example, fall under the NIS2 directive and are therefore obliged to implement specific technical and organizational security measures. This integration enables customers to continuously and holistically monitor their IT infrastructure and ensures that risks can be recognized and averted at an early stage before they become detrimental to the business.

The company is leading the efforts in the cloud security space with a strong knowledge base and delivery capabilities in optimizing the IT infrastructure. Softline continues to deliver top-notch IT security services to clients in the future, prioritizing the efficiency of IT-supported processes.
