Responsibility is more than just a word
Every day, people in companies, schools or hospitals rely on the protection and support of IT security solutions made by Securepoint. It is our responsibility to live up to this trust through high-performance products and first-class service.
However, the responsibility of a company goes far beyond its products and services. We want to live a fair, open and appreciative relationship with our customers, partners, employees and service providers. We don't want to take advantage at the expense of the environment and society.

Good partnerships
Through our forward-looking ideas, tireless work and drive to constantly improve, we are now one of Germany's largest software manufacturers in the field of cybersecurity. We combine our visions with entrepreneurial thinking.
As a responsible manufacturer, we see it as our task to help specialised trade partners in their work and to give them our backing. This form of support for partners and system houses with problems and projects has been part of Securepoint's DNA for more than 25 years now and is a central component of our company philosophy.
- By transitioning our product portfolio to a “As a Service” model, we, as the owners, decide what to do with the hardware. Defective devices are inspected and, to the extent technically possible, refurbished and reused. This allows us to extend the useful life of individual devices and reduce the need for new ones.
- We use recycled paper as packing material for our devices.
- When the size of our hardware changes, we adjust the size of the shipping boxes accordingly. This helps us avoid unnecessary use of materials.
For school and education
Securepoint is actively committed to training young people and cooperates with local schools, vocational colleges, the vocational academy and Leuphana University. From job application training at schools and internship opportunities to participation in regional Chamber of Industry and Commerce projects such as ‘Moin Future’ and training ambassadors, we invest considerable human resources in the field of education. Our retention rate in the field of IT is 100% in 2023.
In the summer of 2023, a total of nine trainees and four dual students will start at Securepoint. The training rate will rise to 14 percent. In this way, we offer young people long-term prospects in a future-oriented industry.
In addition, for several years now we have been supporting vocational schools in Lüneburg by providing hands-on IT training as part of their curriculum. Our offer of internships for career exploration rounds out our commitment to school education.
To offer high-performing young talent long-term career prospects, we have been collaborating with the Lüneburg University of Cooperative Education for several years on a dual bachelor’s degree program in Business Administration. We have also played an active role in shaping the new dual degree program in Media and IT Management.
For us, the most important factors in recruiting trainees are motivation and professional aptitude. Everyone who is interested has a chance. Our Human Resources department regularly assists with coordination with the Foreigners’ Registration Office, the Employment Agency, the Job Center, and other government agencies.
We are committed to data protection and IT security
Securepoint GmbH follows the "no backdoors" principle like hardly any other company in the field of cyber security. With our products, we secure the integrity, confidentiality and availability of customer hardware and data. With "Privacy by Design & Default", we implement the highest security standards in our solutions.
No hidden access codes and access mechanisms, i.e. no backdoors, are hidden in products developed by us. Third parties therefore have no uncontrolled access and no security-relevant functionalities can be deactivated. This is confirmed by Securepoint's memberships in the Bundesverband IT-Sicherheit e.V. and the "Alliance for Cyber Security" as well as the TeleTrust trust marks "IT Security made in Germany" and "IT Security made in EU".
