Device security
Faced with ever-evolving digital threats, protecting your devices is crucial. At Groupe SL, we take a proactive approach that combines:
- EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response): EDR is a software technology designed to detect cybersecurity threats across various digital devices (computers, servers, tablets, connected objects). EDR represents an evolution of traditional antivirus solutions.
- MDR (Managed Detection and Response): MDR is a managed cybersecurity service that combines advanced threat detection tools (such as EDR) with continuous human monitoring. The goal of MDR is to detect, analyze, and respond quickly to cyberattacks—24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- DNS Filtering: DNS filtering uses the Domain Name System to block malicious websites and filter inappropriate content.
- Automatic Vulnerability Detection: Groupe SL’s automatic vulnerability detection service analyzes your IT system daily to identify any potential security weaknesses.
- Mobile Device Management: Comprehensive protection for all mobile devices.
- Automatic Updates: Automatic updates—essential in IT—automate the download and installation of software and security patches. They keep your systems up to date and secure by proactively fixing vulnerabilities.

Email security
Emails are a common entry point for cyberattacks. Our approach involves implementing advanced filters and detection systems to prevent phishing attempts and other email fraud.
Remember: an email attack can easily lead to more serious problems like attacks by ransomware or extortion attempts.
Identity security
Are you looking to ensure secure and controlled access to your systems so that only authorized users can enter? At Groupe SL, we implement identity and access management solutions that combine enhanced security with ease of use for your employees.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is an authentication method in which a user must provide at least two verification factors to access an IT resource.
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is an access control mechanism that defines user roles and permissions.
- Privileged Access Review: A privileged access review periodically verifies the credentials and privileges of users who have access to certain data, applications, and networks, in order to remove those that are inappropriate or no longer necessary.
- Monitoring of Risky Sign-ins and Compromised Credentials: Microsoft Entra ID helps organizations identify identity-related risks through reports on risky users, sign-ins, and workload identities, as well as risk detections.
Our solutions ensure that your organization benefits from reliable, easy-to-manage access security.
Data security
Robust data security is crucial for every business. At Groupe SL, we provide comprehensive protection through:
- Local Backups: Reliable local backups for fast and secure restoration.
- Online Backup: Cloud-based data protection, ensuring easy recovery in any situation.
- Server Replication: Server replication involves maintaining multiple identical copies of servers in different locations (on-site or off-site) to ensure availability, reliability, and resilience in the event of a disaster.
- Password Manager: Effective access protection through an advanced password management solution.
- Compliance with Law 25: We ensure your data management practices comply with Law 25, which governs the protection of personal information.
With these measures, we guarantee comprehensive and legally compliant data security for your organization.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the consequences of a cyberattack on a company ?
- Financial damage: In addition to the immediate cost of extortion or ransom paid to cybercriminals, cyberattacks can undermine sales for an indefinite period.
- Deterioration of reputation and brand image: It is difficult for a business to remain credible in the eyes of partners, shareholders or customers when confidential data has been stolen. Business will undoubtedly slow down for a while following an attack.
- Suspension of operations: A cyberattack forces a business to suspend activities until any potential risk is eliminated, which can prove fatal to customer confidence. Some customers will desert a company if they worry about its security, resulting in a drop in profits and sales.
