For two decades, we worked at the highest levels of IT and security — inside institutions where a single breach could trigger regulatory fines, reputational collapse, or systemic failure. We saw what robust, battle-tested security looks like when it is built properly.
We also watched Swiss SMEs struggle. A mid-sized manufacturer in Zürich or a fintech startup in Zug faces the same threat actors as a major bank — ransomware groups and nation-state actors don't discriminate by company size. Yet SMEs have a fraction of the budget, no dedicated security team, and often no clear idea where to start.
That gap is why XenoIT exists. We built a firm that is small enough to be personal and hands-on, but expert enough to deliver the frameworks previously reserved for major financial institutions. Swiss quality, Swiss data residency, honest advice — no upselling, no jargon, no offshore handoffs.
Our 20+ years were not spent in a single vertical. Cross-sector knowledge makes our advice faster, sharper, and more practical for your specific context.
Good security advice should be honest, direct, and completely free of vendor bias. Here is what that looks like in practice.
We explain threats and fixes in plain language. Our reports are written for decision-makers, not only technical teams.
No account managers, no handoffs to junior staff. The people you meet on the first call are the ones who do the work.
Swiss law, Swiss data residency, no offshore handoffs. We operate 100% within Switzerland — that is a commitment, not a marketing line.
We tell you what you actually need — even if it means a smaller engagement. Your long-term trust matters more than any single contract.
We prioritise fixes that protect you now, not theoretical frameworks. A clear action plan that gets implemented beats a perfect report that never does.
The frameworks we use were built inside Swiss banks. We bring that same rigour to businesses of any size, at a price that makes sense.
