Success Story: IGO Industries & BearingPoint

About the company: IGO Industries is an internationally active and highly specialized group of technology companies, leaders in technical building equipment and industrial plant engineering. The industrial group consists of innovative subsidiaries such as Bacon, Babak, ELIN, EBG, ORTNER, HTG and TKT Engineering. Associated and joint ventures such as PORR AG, UBM Development AG, H+E, SMB and hospitals Projektentwicklungsges.m.b.H. make the family-owned group an international player with a shared performance promise.

The challenge: achieving visibility into internal security posture

IGO Industries aims to continuously protect its IT infrastructure against potential threats. To proactively detect existing vulnerabilities and realistically evaluate the responsiveness of its Security Operations Center (SOC), the company sought an experienced partner to conduct a penetration test. The objective: to uncover potential weaknesses and security gaps within the internal infrastructure and to assess their associated risk in a targeted, structured manner.

Comprehensive security assessment with a focus on close collaboration

The IGO Industries project once again demonstrated how critical a collaborative, partnership-based approach is to the success of a pentest. The close involvement of the BearingPoint team allowed for a swift and well-coordinated response to security-relevant findings — always in direct alignment with the IGO Industries team.

Key components of the project at a glance:

  • Assessment of selected systems within the internal infrastructure
    (including pre-engagement, intelligence gathering, threat modeling, vulnerability analysis & exploitation, post-exploitation, debriefing & reporting)
  • Evaluation of identified vulnerabilities and their associated risk
  • Parallel assessment of the internal Security Operations Center’s (SOC) response capabilities
  • Rapid communication and continuous coordination in response to critical security findings

The result: vulnerabilities identified – resilience enhanced

The IT team at IGO Industries was especially impressed by the open, collaborative partnership — and the direct communication with their contacts in Graz. Whenever vulnerabilities were discovered, the team was immediately informed and the next appropriate steps were jointly defined. The combination of a structured approach and close coordination ensured a focused project execution — laying the groundwork for further measures to strengthen IT security.
