Our history
Foundation
Our journey began in Luxembourg, where digit solutions S.A.R.L. was founded. In the early days, we focussed mainly on financial institutions and insurance companies, which formed the backbone of our client base. Over time, we broadened our focus and started servicing banks as well, further deepening our expertise in the financial sector.

In order to offer our customers an even better service, we expanded beyond the borders of Luxembourg and opened a new location in the United Kingdom. This strategic decision allowed us to be closer to our customers and respond to their needs with our usual efficiency and expertise in the field of IT security.

In Germany, the founding of digit solutions GmbH in Bielefeld marked another milestone in our company's history. The decisive step into the German market was motivated by large orders from well-known companies such as Deutsche Telekom and the Federal Employment Agency. This development underlined our steady growth and our ability to operate successfully in a demanding and dynamic market such as Germany and deliver customised IT security solutions.
Head office Löhne
With the relocation of our headquarters from Bielefeld to Löhne, we initiated a significant phase of change and growth in our company. This move is more than just a geographical relocation; it symbolises our adaptability and commitment to progress in a dynamic business environment. In Löhne, we have found a location equipped with expanded resources and modern facilities to better serve our customers. The strategic location of Löhne reinforces our ability to lead the way in the development and delivery of innovative IT security solutions and maintain our high standard of customer service.
Merger of digit solutions Limited & digit solutions GmbH
The evolution of our company took an exciting turn when we decided to join forces and merge our UK and German sites. This strategic merger was a bold move that allowed us to expand our portfolio and create a stronger, unified presence in Europe. This integration allowed us to optimise our resources, increase efficiency and offer an even wider range of services to our customers.
Further location opening SA
Our international growth led us to Cape Town, South Africa, where we established another major location. This expansion was fuelled by major contracts and led to the establishment of Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) locations. In Cape Town, we are responsible for supporting the two largest African banks. Our focus is on key elements such as security, consolidation, infrastructure harmonisation and site networking. To date, we support over 6000 sites for these two banks, acting as both a Managed Service Provider (MSP) and MSSP, which underlines our expertise and commitment to the IT security industry.
further location opening UAE
With the growth of our portfolio and the increase in international orders, the establishment of an additional location in the UAE became essential. This move was not only a sign of our growing presence in the global market, but also a strategic move to offer our customers our state-of-the-art Security Operations Centre (SOC) and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions. Of particular note here is our 24/7 service, which is organised according to the "follow-the-sun" method. This method enables us to provide continuous, efficient and timely security monitoring and support around the clock and across different time zones in order to best fulfil the needs of our international clientele.
Establishment of SOC & SIEM infrastructure within DE
In Germany, we have further strengthened our IT security capacities by setting up state-of-the-art Security Operations Centres (SOC) and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) infrastructures in Frankfurt and Düsseldorf. These two locations in the key cities of the German economic area have been strategically chosen to ensure optimal monitoring and response to security incidents. The facilities in Frankfurt and Düsseldorf are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and enable us to perform advanced, proactive security monitoring and analysis for our customers. They play a central role in our endeavour to keep our clients' IT security at the highest level and protect against the ever-changing threats in the digital world.

The appointment of Stefan Depping as the new Managing Director marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of our company. Mr Depping brings fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to our management team. His extensive experience and expertise in the IT security industry will be invaluable to the further development and growth of our company.

further location opening DE
We opened another location in Paderborn, further consolidating our presence in Germany and expanding our network within the IT security industry. This location in Paderborn symbolises not only our commitment to regional expansion, but also our desire to be closer to our customers and partners. This move has enabled us to extend our reach in Germany and ensure that we can support our customers even more effectively with our expertise and services. The Paderborn location plays an important role in our ongoing strategy to provide comprehensive and customer-centred IT security solutions.
Spin-off of the former "Project Delivery" department to form the
digit xperts GmbH
In a strategic move to further strengthen and specialise our company, the former "Project Delivery" department was spun off. This department, which had previously been an integral part of our company, was transformed into an independent company, digit xperts GmbH. This reorganisation enabled us to focus and further develop our skills and expertise in the area of project delivery. This separation has allowed digit xperts GmbH to concentrate fully on providing highly specialised project management and delivery services, while we continue to focus on our core competencies in IT security. This decision reflects our commitment to innovation and continuous improvement in all areas of our business.
Rebranding
Our company underwent a significant transformation through a comprehensive rebranding. This redesign of our brand was a crucial step to better reflect our vision, mission and values and to strengthen our positioning in the market. The rebranding included not only a new, modern logo and a revised visual identity, but also a realignment of our corporate communications and brand messaging. This process symbolised our commitment to innovation and adaptability in an ever-changing industry. With the rebranding, we signalled to our customers, partners and employees that we are ready to meet the challenges and opportunities of the future.
