The current situation
Four structural risks no stack addition solves
The attack surface of modern enterprise environments doesn't come from individual weaknesses - it comes from a lack of integration between systems, teams, and data flows.
Fragmented security architectures
- Multiple isolated tools for email, backup, and encryption with no interconnectivity
- Missing policy integration between security systems
- Data flow is opaque, with no central control view
- → Increased attack surface and inefficient security processes
Email as the primary attack vector
- Phishing and Business Email Compromise (BEC) as the most common attack method
- Content manipulation and identity impersonation
- Uncontrolled data leakage through communication channels
- → Email will remain the biggest gateway into your infrastructure
Inadequate data protection
- Backup systems with no isolation - a central point of attack for ransomware
- Encryption with no central policy control and auditability
- Platform dependency on hyperscalers with no data sovereignty
- → Classic solutions protect systems - not your data
More regulatory requirements
- GDPR compliance as an ongoing operational requirement
- NIS2 implementation obligations with board-level liability
- Audit and evidence obligations are growing in scope and frequency
- → Compliance isn't a one-time event - it's an ongoing task
Enterprise-ready

What decision-makers want to know…
How does the Mare Cloud differ from our existing security stack?
The decisive difference is integration. Classic security stacks consist of isolated individual solutions - gateway, backup, encryption, and archiving with no shared control layer. The Mare Cloud connects all these layers into a centrally controllable architecture. That reduces the attack surface, eliminates blind spots between systems, and enables consistent policy control across all communication and data processes.
How does the Mare Cloud address our NIS2 liability obligations at board level?
NIS2 mandates not just technical measures, but also demonstrability and personal liability at the management level. The Mare Cloud delivers both: structural implementation through GDPR-compliant processing, audit-proof archiving, and auditable communication logs - plus the complete documentation base for external audits. Compliance is built into the platform, not retrofitted.
How does the Mare Cloud ensure business continuity during a ransomware attack?
Through the Multi-Node Backup architecture: backups are physically and logically isolated from the production system - an encrypted or compromised primary dataset can’t reach the backup. Cloud2Cloud Backup protects SaaS data independently of the source system. Automated recovery tests ensure that recovery actually works in an emergency - not just when it counts.
How can the Mare Cloud be integrated into our existing enterprise system landscape?
The Mare Cloud is designed for integration into existing system landscapes - it doesn’t replace working systems, but consolidates the security and communication layer. Implementation is carried out by our enterprise architecture team in structured project phases. A proof of concept lets you validate the integration in your own environment before making a full decision.
What measurable ROI can we expect from switching to the Mare Cloud?
ROI arises on several levels: consolidating the security stack directly reduces licensing and operating costs. Central policy control measurably lowers administrative effort. But most importantly, a resilient infrastructure avoids the far higher follow-up costs of a security incident - incident response, reputational damage, business interruption, and regulatory liability. Our security assessment quantifies your individual risk profile and the expected savings.
