Swiss managed security services with on-premise SOC and CISO advisory
KastGroup operates a Switzerland-based security services firm built around a 24/7 Security Operations Center, CISO-as-a-Service engagements, and penetration testing. The tech stack (Splunk, Elastic Security, Fortinet, Sophos, Kubernetes, Linux) reflects a mature on-premise security operations posture rather than cloud-native infrastructure. Active projects center on SOC/SIEM development, ISMS modernization, and datacenter expansion—indicating internal infrastructure investment alongside client delivery.
KastGroup GmbH, founded in 2014, is a Swiss family-owned security services provider headquartered in Wallisellen, Zurich. The firm serves organizations across Switzerland with managed security services spanning a 24/7 SOC, CISO advisory (ISMS design, risk analysis), security assessments (penetration testing, red team exercises), technical security support, and security awareness training (phishing campaigns, live hacking workshops). The 11–50-person team operates across security operations, engineering, and operations with a mid-level seniority concentration, supported by intern-level roles.
KastGroup's primary stack includes Splunk and Elastic Security for SIEM, Fortinet FortiGate and Sophos for network security, Kubernetes and Docker for infrastructure, Proxmox and VMware for virtualization, and Active Directory with Microsoft 365 for identity management.
