How Montea secures its digital environment with our Managed Security Services

Montea Customer Case

Montea develops and manages high-quality logistics and industrial space across Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and Germany.

How Montea secures its digital environment together with SecWise.

You can secure your digital stronghold without becoming the gatekeeper yourself. That belief lies at the heart of Montea’s cybersecurity strategy. Rather than attempting to manage ever‑increasing digital risks internally, the listed logistics real estate company deliberately chose to outsource responsibility to specialised managed security experts.

We give a lot of responsibility, but expect ownership in return. That’s the best way to maximise a partnership.”

IT Manager, Montea

While Montea focuses on innovation, data‑driven operations and sustainable growth, SecWise ensures that their digital foundations remain secure, monitored, and continuously improved.

A strategic view on IT and security

Montea is a Belgian investor in logistics real estate, active across Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Germany. What started as a traditional SME has grown into a stock‑listed organisation with strong ambitions around digitalisation, ESG reporting and international expansion.

In that context, IT is no longer a supporting function but a critical business enabler. That also means cybersecurity can no longer be treated as a set of isolated controls or one‑off projects. Montea therefore made a clear strategic choice: cloud, network and cybersecurity needed to be managed continuously by a single, trusted partner. A partner that could take ownership, understand their environment, and scale alongside their growth.

That decision led Montea to SecWise.

From security projects to a managed security partnership

What initially started as an IT security initiative quickly evolved into a long‑term managed security collaboration. Together, Montea and SecWise established a model in which security is not only designed correctly, but also actively operated, monitored and improved every day.

As Montea’s managed security partner, SecWise acts as a single point of responsibility for digital protection across their environment, including:

  • 24/7 monitoring and analysis of security signals via our Security Operations Center (SOC)
  • Proactive detection and response using Microsoft Sentinel and SIEM capabilities
  • Full visibility into identities, endpoints, cloud workloads and network activity
  • Endpoint and mobile device management via Intune, including automated security updates
  • Zero Trust access and Conditional Access policies, ensuring only authorised users gain access
  • Security awareness and phishing simulations through campaigns such as Phished.io

To complete the picture, SecWise also supports Montea with application management, secure printing solutions, disaster recovery, and ongoing preparation for regulatory requirements such as NIS2.

Proactive security instead of reactive incidents

Thanks to SecWise Managed Security Service, Montea now receives early warnings of suspicious activity, long before issues can escalate into real incidents. Where potential threats might previously have gone unnoticed, SecWise can now:
  • Detect anomalies in real time
  • Validate alerts and eliminate false positives
  • Mitigate by taking immediate action when required

The result is greater resilience and peace of mind, without burdening Montea’s internal IT team with constant operational security work.

Managed security services built to scale

Montea deliberately opted for a turnkey managed security model. As their trusted partner, SecWise takes ownership of the day‑to‑day security operations, while control and transparency remain clearly defined.

Together with our sister company Arxus, we manage:
  • The network structure
  • The Azure environment
  • The Connectivity and platform security

Clear agreements, defined responsibilities and shared visibility ensure fast response times, reduced risk and operational clarity. That collaboration has evolved into a partnership with clear SLAs, close communication, and mutual trust. We quickly pick up on new technologies together and roll them out efficiently. And the bar? Well, it’s pretty high. Because Montea keeps growing and they expect the same from their partners.

Your organisation deserves the same level of control

At SecWise, we don’t just implement security. We own, operate and continuously improve it, as if it were our own environment. Exactly as we do for Montea.
