The truth
“We're too small to be a target” - a dangerous misconception!
That's exactly what most SMEs think. And that's exactly why they're especially at risk.
Cyberattacks hit SMEs especially often - because they have less protection.
- Email is the biggest entry point - phishing, manipulated content, and data loss are among the most common causes of security incidents.
- Attackers look for the easiest path - and SMEs without a central security strategy are easy targets.
- A single incident can stop everything - operations, customer trust, and reputation, all at once.
What an attack really means for your business:
- Operations grind to a halt - sometimes for days
- Customer data is put at risk or stolen
- Your customers' and partners' trust is lost
- High recovery costs and possible fines
- Reputational damage that lingers for a long time
The problem with standard solutions
You have many different tools - but no comprehensive security strategy from a single source
Microsoft 365® and classic standard solutions protect your systems. But that's no longer enough.
Platforms protect systems - not your data
- Whoever controls the platform also controls your data - whether you notice it or not.
Backups are often incomplete or vulnerable
- A backup that gets encrypted by ransomware along with your data doesn't help you.
Security solutions are complex and hard to manage
- What your team doesn't understand, it also can't protect - and no SME has its own SOC.
Email is a business risk today - not just an IT topic. The groupios Mare Cloud closes this gap: simple, fully managed, and ready to use immediately.

What decision-makers want to know…
Is the Mare Cloud worthwhile for small businesses with few employees?
Yes - especially for small businesses. The groupios Mare Cloud is fully managed, meaning you need neither your own IT team nor technical know-how to operate it. You benefit from the same level of protection as large enterprises - at predictable, scalable costs. And since SMEs are especially frequent targets of attacks, the added value is even greater.
We already use Microsoft 365® - do we still need the Mare Cloud?
Microsoft 365® is a productive work platform - not a security solution. It protects your systems, but not your data: backups are often incomplete, encryption isn’t applied end-to-end, and data control stays with the provider. The Mare Cloud complements Microsoft 365® in exactly the right places: with email protection, S/MIME encryption, audit-proof archiving, and an isolated backup that stays intact even during ransomware attacks.
How much effort does setup take - and how quickly are we protected?
Implementation is handled entirely by our team of experts. Since the Mare Cloud is a managed service, complex self-installation isn’t required. Your business is typically up and running, fully protected, within a few days - with no interruption to ongoing operations and no training effort for your staff.
What happens to our data - where is it stored?
All data is processed and stored exclusively on German servers - fully GDPR-compliant, with no dependency on US hyperscalers. You retain full control over your data at all times. No third party has access, and every processing step is transparent and auditable.
What does the Mare Cloud cost - and is there a minimum term?
The Mare Cloud is modular and scalable - you only pay for what you actually use. There are no large upfront investments. Try the platform free for 30 days in your own environment first. Our advisors are happy to provide an individual quote tailored to the size of your business.
