IT Security
Secure software starts with sound architecture.
Do you know where you're exposed?
Security incidents don't just risk data – they can break customer trust and disrupt your ability to operate. We help you reduce risk with architecture that treats security as a first-class concern from day one. For existing systems, we assess weaknesses and develop pragmatic fixes. We focus on:
Who can do what?
Legacy IAM setups, tangled permission models, brittle authZ for APIs and microservices – we help you design identity and access management that stays maintainable as your needs grow.
Get supply chain risk under control
The software supply chain is more complex – and easier to attack – than ever. Compromised dependencies, tampered build pipelines, attacks on open-source maintainers: incidents like XZ Utils and SolarWinds show how widespread the fallout can be. We help you understand these risks and address them systematically.
Ship AI to production – securely
Agentic systems and LLM-based apps open up new possibilities, but they also introduce attack paths that traditional security only partly covers – from prompt injection and tool misuse to data exfiltration. We help you design for these risks from the start.
What we offer
IT security is about understanding and controlling risk: Who can access what? What does "secure enough" look like for our systems? How do we protect APIs, AI systems, and our software supply chain? We support you end-to-end – from threat modeling and picking the right approach to secure implementation and security reviews. Don't see your topic? Reach out.
Why INNOQ
We don't treat IT security as a standalone topic. We see it as part of good architecture work – because security only works when you plan for it from the start: in architecture, processes, and the organization.
How we've helped our clients
Secure systems aren't built in isolation. We work closely with your teams – from the first assessment through implementation and knowledge transfer.
The security workshop with INNOQ really helped us understand our potential weaknesses. We were pretty wiped by the end of the day, but it was clear what we needed to do next.

Security Reviews
Find issues before they turn into incidents: Our reviews are technically deep, methodical, and tailored to your audience – from engineering teams to executives.
Technical Security Review
We review your security-critical components – source code, APIs, architectures, and protocols. We focus on authentication, encryption, and access control. You get a clear write-up with prioritized, actionable recommendations.

Architecture Security Assessment
We assess the security of your overall system architecture – from inventory and threat modeling to concrete recommendations. We include risk analysis and help you define and validate security requirements.

Workshops that work
Our trainers are working security practitioners. Trainings combine concepts with hands-on exercises – so your teams can apply what they learn.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have questions about IT Security? Here you will find answers to questions we are frequently asked.
Why should IT security be part of your software architecture?
Retrofitting security at the end costs you twice: expensive rework and software that remains vulnerable. That's why we treat IT security as an integral part of software architecture – from authentication and access control to secure communication between services.
What does Identity and Access Management (IAM) involve, and when do I need support?
Identity and Access Management governs who can access which resources in your systems. In mature system landscapes with microservices and APIs, this quickly becomes complex. We support you with the selection and integration of IAM solutions, authorization architectures, and the implementation of concepts such as role-based, policy-based, or relationship-based access control.
How can security be integrated into the development process (DevSecOps)?
By embedding security checks into your CI/CD pipeline – for example with tools for static and dynamic code analysis (SAST, DAST) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA). Security champion programs and secure coding guidelines further help teams treat security as part of their daily work.
What security risks do AI applications and agentic systems introduce?
AI-powered applications and AI agents open up new attack vectors that traditional security concepts only partially cover. These include prompt injection, tool misuse, and data exfiltration. We help you address these risks from the outset through threat modeling, guardrails, sandboxing, and secure architectures – guided by the OWASP Top 10 for LLM and Agentic Applications.
What is a security review, and when does it make sense?
A security review analyzes your security-critical components – from source code and APIs to architectures and protocols. It makes sense when you want to identify vulnerabilities before they become risks. The result: prioritized recommendations for action, tailored to your audience – from the development team to the C-suite.
How does INNOQ ensure our team can manage security independently going forward?
As long as necessary, as briefly as possible. We enable your teams through knowledge transfer, security champion programs, and working alongside them. We also offer hands-on training – from web security and OWASP Top 10 to agentic software security.
