We protect missions, production, and supply chains — since 2002. From vulnerability monitoring and continuous detection to structured response. For organizations where operational continuity is non-negotiable.
Our Commitment
The goal is easy to state and hard to deliver: attacks are detected before they cause damage. Incidents are contained before they impact production, programmes, or supply chains. Axians has been doing this work since 2002, covering the full spectrum for Aerospace & Defense — from vulnerability transparency and continuous detection to structured response.
With the time resolution that NIS2 reporting deadlines demand. Timestamps are logged at every stage — so that the 24-hour initial notification and the 72-hour detailed report don't fall apart at the documentation level.
Detection runs against a documented library of 164 use cases across 20 categories, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. You see the matrix before you sign — and identify your gaps immediately, rather than taking someone's word for it.
With an incident response retainer, we guarantee a response within one hour, around the clock, by BSI-certified professionals — in line with NIST 800-61.
The services are designed to work in concert. Each one delivers value on its own — but the combination is significantly more than the sum of its parts.
You always know which vulnerabilities exist in your environment — and which ones need to be addressed first. Prioritisation is not based on CVSS scores alone, but on the operational damage potential for production, research, and supply chains.
The analytical foundation. Log sources from firewalls, proxies, Active Directory, endpoints, cloud, and OT are aggregated, normalised, and correlated. For high OT log volumes, we deploy a data pipeline upstream that makes routing decisions before indexing.
We follow NIST 800-61: notification, analysis, containment, eradication, recovery, post-incident review. SOAR playbooks automate the steps that can't wait for human intervention — automation only kicks in where it has been explicitly authorised.
Our managed SOC protects sensitive IT and OT environments around the clock, even where state-sponsored actors and industrial espionage pose real risks. Experienced security analysts stop threats before they reach critical systems. Sovereign, to defence-grade standards.
For each framework, the specific obligation — and the matching service from our portfolio. No theory. Your compliance evidence is generated in operations, not in presentations.
| Rahmenwerk | Anforderung | Wie wir liefern |
|---|---|---|
NIS2 EU Directive on Network and Information Security Material | Risk management, technical safeguards, reporting of significant incidents within 24h / 72h, supply chain risks. | Consulting: Gap analysis & mapping. Operations: Detection via Managed SOC, IR retainer, audit-ready documentation of reporting deadlines. |
Cyber Resilience Act EU Regulation on Product Security From 12/2027 | Security "by design" for products with digital elements, SBOM, vulnerability disclosure, lifecycle updates. | Consulting: Secure development, SBOM & vulnerability disclosure. Operations: Integration into incident process and vulnerability management. |
DORA Digital Operational Resilience Act Group-dependent | Operational resilience for financial functions — risk testing, third-party governance, TLPT (Threat-Led Penetration Testing). | Consulting: Third-party governance, supply chain assessments. Operations: TLPT-capable red teaming. |
ISO 27001 Information Security Management Foundation | A documented, lived ISMS including risk, asset, and supplier management — a prerequisite for many framework agreements. | Consulting: Certification support, ISMS manager as a service, gap to audit-readiness. Proof: Axians itself is certified. |
ISO 9001 & 14001 Quality & Environmental Management Evidenced | Documented quality and environmental processes — a formal exclusion criterion in almost every tender. | Proof: End-to-end QM and environmental processes in delivery and operations — Axians is certified. |
We operate the managed SOC from German data centres, compliant with BSI standards. Detection rules are calibrated to defence-specific attack patterns. Alerts are vetted before they reach you.
We prioritise by operational damage potential and guide the remediation workflow through to verified closure — not just to the ticket.
We deliver incident response and SOAR from a single source. Playbooks are aligned with your system landscape and escalation paths before an incident occurs.

Technical Precision
Our cyber defence portfolio is not an off-the-shelf product. Every component — detection, response, governance — is tested against recognised standards and documented in operations. Auditable. Reproducible. Resilient under scrutiny.
Use cases are continuously updated against current threat intelligence. During onboarding, the ruleset is calibrated to your specific environment, including tuning to reduce false positives. The source is our in-house Threat Intelligence Centre with German analysts.
Three deliverables: forensic root-cause analysis, incident timeline, and lessons learned with a concrete action plan. Fully auditable, designed to meet regulatory documentation requirements (NIS2, CRA).
Depends on scope: four to twelve weeks to operational readiness. In the managed model, your primary responsibilities are providing the log sources and defining the escalation contacts.
Yes. Our SOC is operated from German data centres. Where data sovereignty must remain on-premises for compliance reasons, we deploy our analytics layer on your platform. All analysts are BSI-certified, and operations are conducted exclusively within the German legal framework.
Axians can be accessed through established framework agreements with government agencies, research institutions, and OEMs. We discuss details during scoping — and can provide the relevant evidence and references under NDA if required. For urgent procurement, we offer an IR retainer as a standalone component.
We'll show you where your gaps are and recommend the right entry point for your situation. Three conversation formats to choose from — each one delivers value on its own.
Whether gap analysis, executive briefing, or technical scoping — we listen, think alongside you, and give you a sound, reliable perspective. Confidential. Non-binding. No sales pressure.
