Managed Security Services
Empowering your business with comprehensive managed security services for continuous protection.
Building and maintaining an effective in-house security capability is expensive, complex, and increasingly difficult in a threat landscape that never stops evolving. Managed Security Services (MSS) allow organisations to access certified expertise, proven processes, and continuous protection — without the overhead of building it all internally.
Swiss Expert Group delivers a broad portfolio of managed security services, drawing on the specialised capabilities of e-Xpert Solutions, eb-Qual, and One Step Beyond. From 24/7 SOC monitoring and managed WAF to privileged access management and vulnerability management, our teams operate as an extension of yours — keeping your environments secure, compliant, and operational.
Our Managed Security Services :

Operated by e-Xpert Solutions, At-Defense is a next-generation managed SOC purpose-built for Swiss organisations. Certified ISO 27001 and covered by an ISAE 3000 assurance report, it provides 24/7 threat monitoring, incident response, threat hunting, and darknet monitoring. The service deploys in as little as two days and operates on a flat-rate model with no internal staffing required. Over 800 detection use cases, zero breaches recorded among clients over 5 years.
MSS PAM — Managed Privileged Access Management

Key capabilities include automatic network scanning and certificate discovery, centralised inventory with real-time expiry alerts, full lifecycle automation (request, issuance, deployment, renewal, revocation) with ACME protocol support, role-based access control (RBAC), and customisable audit and compliance reports.
SSLCert eliminates the risk of certificate-related outages, reduces human error, and supports compliance with internal policies and external standards. It is proven in demanding sectors including finance, industry, healthcare, luxury, and sensitive public entities.

Frequently Asked Questions – Managed Security Services in Switzerland
Q : What is a Managed Security Service (MSS)?
A Managed Security Service (MSS) is a security function delivered by an external provider on an ongoing basis — typically covering monitoring, threat detection, incident response, or the management of specific security technologies. MSS allows organisations to access certified expertise and continuous protection without building and staffing the full capability internally.
Q : What is the difference between MSS and a SOC?
A SOC (Security Operations Center) is one specific type of managed security service focused on threat monitoring, detection, and response. MSS is a broader term covering a wider range of ongoing security management services — including PAM management, WAF, vulnerability management, certificate lifecycle management, and security audits. Swiss Expert Group offers both a managed SOC (At-Defense) and a full portfolio of complementary MSS.
Q : What is MSS PAM and why does it matter?
MSS PAM is a managed service for operating and maintaining a Privileged Access Management solution — specifically CyberArk. It covers patching, upgrades, account onboarding, safe creation, and integration support under a defined SLA. Without ongoing management, PAM environments can drift out of alignment with best practices, creating security gaps that attackers can exploit.
Q : What is PurpleScan?
PurpleScan is a managed vulnerability management service operated by e-Xpert Solutions, combining automated scanning with expert SOC analyst review. It takes its name from the Purple Team approach — combining offensive (Red) scanning with defensive (Blue) SOC analysis. By having SOC analysts prioritise vulnerabilities within one day of detection, PurpleScan reduces the typical exploitation window from over 30 days to under 8 days.
Q : Which managed security services does Swiss Expert Group offer?
Swiss Expert Group offers At-Defense (managed SOC 24/7), MSS PAM (managed CyberArk), MSS WAF (managed F5 Web Application and API Protection), PurpleScan (managed vulnerability management), SSLCert (managed SSL/TLS certificate lifecycle), CyberArk Audit, Infoblox Audit, and DevSecOps services — delivered by e-Xpert Solutions, eb-Qual, and One Step Beyond.
Q : In which Swiss cities does Swiss Expert Group operate?
