[Why MSPs choose Guardian360](https://guardian360.net/for-msps)[Become a partner](https://guardian360.net/become-a-partner) - No channel conflict, ever, we sell only through you - Multi-tenant dashboards with partner-branded reporting - Move customers from break-fix to security advisory - One platform replacing four or five point tools What we do differently ## Security that makes business sense ### We champion compliance Dozens of norms woven into the platform, from ISO 27001, GDPR and NIS2 to DORA and OWASP. Not just to pass an audit, but to put the right policies in place and do business with confidence. ### Daily insight that hardens the network We don’t stop at the technical view. Findings are prioritised against real business risk, so things get fixed in the order that makes business sense. ### Proactive, not just preventive Honeypots watch for suspicious activity inside the network and alert early, so a problem is contained the moment something goes wrong. European by design. Agentless where it counts, and your data stays in the EU, on our own Dutch servers.

It is the layer that brings findings from multiple sources together and translates technical risk into business insight, so the boardroom and the engineers work from the same picture. What the platform does ## Everything, in one place And this is only the beginning. We add new capabilities all the time. ### Risk detection Findings from every source are prioritised by real business risk, not by a raw count of technical flaws (CVEs), so the boardroom and the engineers agree on what to fix first. ### Compliance recommendations Detected issues are mapped to technical controls and rolled up to ISO 27001, NIS2, BIO, DORA and 25+ frameworks, so you see per framework what is not met, with evidence.

We show, continuously, where your technical controls are and aren’t working, by connecting what we detect to the frameworks you answer to. 1 ### Detect the issue Continuous scanning surfaces vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and exposure across your network, web applications and Microsoft 365. 2 ### Map to a technical control Each issue is mapped to the technical control it breaks: input validation, software misconfiguration, data exposure, session management and more. 3 ### Show as a framework recommendation Controls roll up to the requirements of ISO 27001, NIS2, BIO, DORA and 25+ more, so you see per framework what is not met, with evidence collected as you go. Built for two altitudes ## Business risk for the boardroom, technical context for the engineers Every finding can be read at two levels, from one set of data. No translation overhead, no priorities set twice.

[Start free trial](https://guardian360.net/free-trial)[All capabilities](https://guardian360.net/platform) How the alert works ## What Hacker Alerts gives you - A virtual appliance is placed in your network that no one should ever connect to - When an intruder probes the network during reconnaissance, the appliance is touched and raises an immediate alert - It looks like the systems an attacker expects to find, emulating common services such as FTP, SSH, RDP, SMB and databases, so their reconnaissance touches it - Detection drops from months to the moment an attacker is still looking around, so a data leak can be prevented or caught early How it works ## Continuous, in one place Most organisations only discover a breach months or years later, by which time data is already gone. A Hacker Alert appliance changes that: it stays silent until someone touches it, and the moment an intruder starts looking around your network, you know. ## See it on your own environment Start a free trial, or talk to a partner.

URL: https://guardian360.net/scanner-traffic/ Scanner traffic # Have you observed traffic from Guardian360? If you have noticed traffic from Guardian360 reaching your servers, this page explains what it is, why it is happening, and what you can do about it. ## What is this traffic? Guardian360 runs multiple scanners that continuously look in and around networks and web applications for weak spots and vulnerabilities. The scanners run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The traffic you are seeing is almost certainly an authorised scan, commissioned by the organisation that owns the systems being scanned, or by the IT partner that manages them on their behalf. The scans are designed to be light and should have no impact on your server. ## Our scanner IP addresses You can recognise, and, if you wish, whitelist, our scanners by these source addresses: - `93.92.98.84`, central scanning platform (single IP) - `149.146.0.176/28` - `149.146.1.0/27` - `46.22.191.116` - `2001:4c10:1440:8::116` Our central scanning platform sends all of its traffic from a single address, `93.92.98.84`. The remaining ranges resolve to scanners.guardian360.net and remain active during our platform migration. ## I would like to adjust or stop the scans If the scanning causes any inconvenience, we are happy to help. You can ask us to adjust the frequency or speed of the scanners, or to exclude your systems from scanning altogether. Email [abuse@guardian360.net](mailto:abuse@guardian360.net) and let us know which IP addresses or domains it concerns. Note that scans are usually requested by the owner of the systems; where needed we will check with them before making changes. ## Other questions For anything else, reach us at [+31 (0)88 225 15 00](tel:+31882251500) or [info@guardian360.net](mailto:info@guardian360.net). ## Curious what we would find on your own environment?

Together with DMARC Advisor we scanned the public DMARC configuration of 1,311 Managed Service Providers across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Applying a strict test in which only a policy of p=reject counts as protected, nearly three quarters fall short. Because MSPs run email and IT for thousands of downstream customers, an unprotected provider domain is a credible attack path into its entire client base. 74.5%of DACH MSPs are not protected against spoofing 25.5%enforce DMARC with p=reject 1,311MSPs scanned across DE, AT and CH 42.0%have no DMARC reporting (RUA) configured The single largest group, 30.4% of providers, sits on p=quarantine, a policy that routes spoofed mail to the spam folder rather than blocking it, and does not count as protected. ## Download the full benchmark The complete report with the country breakdown, a Nordrhein-Westfalen spotlight, protection by company size and market segment, the specialist paradox, and RUA reporting visibility. [Download report (PDF)](https://guardian360.net/reports/guardian360-dach-msp-dmarc-benchmark-2026-en.pdf) No registration required. The report is free to download. ## Key findings - Only 1 in 4 is protected. 334 of 1,311 MSPs enforce p=reject; the largest group (30.4%) sits on p=quarantine, which does not stop spoofing. - Nearly 1 in 5 has no DMARC record at all (19.6%), leaving the domain fully open to impersonation. - The gap is structural, not national: protection sits at 27.7% in Switzerland, 25.2% in Germany and 22.4% in Austria. - The specialist paradox: MSPs that sell cyber or email security (26.4% protected) barely beat the average and fail to protect their own domain in almost three out of four cases. - Reporting is a blind spot: 42.0% have no DMARC aggregate reporting (RUA), so they have zero visibility into who sends mail in their name. ## About this benchmark The data analysis was performed by [DMARC Advisor](https://dmarcadvisor.com/) and the report was produced by Guardian360, based on a non-intrusive external scan of public DNS and DMARC records for 1,311 DACH MSPs, collected on 8 July 2026. It was prepared for the Cross-border Cybersecurity Networking Event for MSPs and IT system houses (TopGolf Oberhausen, 2 September 2026), organised by the Netherlands government and InnovationQuarter, with Passguard, SecuMailer, SecureMe2, DMARC Advisor and Guardian360. ## Need help reaching p=reject safely? Guardian360 and DMARC Advisor help you move from no protection to full enforcement: continuous scanning and monitoring, automated interpretation of RUA reports, and expert guidance to reach p=reject without disrupting legitimate mail.

URL: https://guardian360.net/reports/dmarc-benchmark/ DMARC Benchmark · April 2026 # How well is your domain protected against email fraud? We analysed the DMARC configuration of 10,833 domains across 15 industries. The results are alarming: more than three quarters of all domains are not fully protected against email spoofing, phishing and business email compromise (BEC). 77.6%of domains are not fully protected 25.8%have no DMARC record at all 15industries analysed 10,833domains scanned With the NIS2 audit deadline approaching (June 2026), a proper DMARC configuration is no longer optional for many organisations. ## Download the full report Get the complete benchmark analysis with detailed breakdowns per industry, country and DMARC policy level, including actionable recommendations.

The report is free to download. ## Industry insights - Finance leads with 35.7% of domains at p=reject, but even here nearly two thirds remain vulnerable. - Transport (15.3%) and Legal (16.7%) are most at risk, with the lowest adoption of strict DMARC policies. - Only 22.4% of all scanned domains enforce the recommended p=reject policy. ## About this research This benchmark was conducted by Guardian360 in collaboration with [DMARC Advisor](https://dmarcadvisor.com/) B.V. The scan was performed in April 2026 and covers organisations across the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and France. ## Need help securing your domains?

URL: https://guardian360.net/reports/from-paper-to-proof/ From Paper to Proof · July 2026 # Can your clients prove their controls actually work? Since Germany's NIS2 transposition took effect in December 2025, clients no longer ask only ‘are we secure?’, but ‘can we prove it?’. We held around 100 open, qualitative conversations with German data protection and information security officers to learn how they answer that question, and what it means for your client conversations ahead of the Dutch Cyberbeveiligingswet (15 August 2026). ~100conversations with German DPOs and ISOs 62%cite a lack of specialised expertise 39%cite a lack of internal capacity 15 Aug 2026Dutch NIS2 (Cbw) takes effect A technical mapping is an indicator and a prioritisation aid, never an automated compliance proof. Offer it confidently for NIS2; for the GDPR the final legal assessment stays with the DPO. ## Download the full report The complete study: the gap between documentation and proof, why NIS2 maps to technical evidence more readily than the GDPR, why ownership needs a name and a deadline, and practical talking points for your client conversations. [Download report (PDF)](https://guardian360.net/reports/guardian360-from-paper-to-proof-2026-en.pdf) No registration required. The report is free to download. ## Key findings - The gap is proof, not technology. Controls are documented once and then rarely re-tested, until accountability quietly disappears in the annual audit cycle. - NIS2 maps to technical evidence more readily than the GDPR. Offer technical proof confidently for NIS2; for the GDPR it stays a complementary building block, and a finding is never a violation on its own. - Ownership beats enforcement, but only with a name and a deadline. “IT is responsible” does not hold up with a regulator; every control needs a named, time-stamped owner and a path to senior management. - This is the MSP opportunity. SMEs cite a lack of specialised expertise (62%) and internal capacity (39%); MSPs close that gap only if they can show, not just claim, that controls work. ## About this study Guardian360 held around 100 open, qualitative conversations with German data protection officers, information security officers and auditors between June and July 2026, validating an approach that links technical security findings to GDPR, NIS2 and ISO 27001 obligations. This is not a representative benchmark: the percentages reflect the responses received and should be read as a qualitative tendency, not as statistically robust figures. ## Meet us at TopGolf Oberhausen This report was prepared for the Cross-border Cybersecurity Networking Event for MSPs and IT system houses (TopGolf Oberhausen, 2 September 2026), organised by the Netherlands government and InnovationQuarter with Passguard, SecuMailer, SecureMe2, DMARC Advisor and Guardian360.

When Guardian360 fits better An organisation that wants Microsoft 365 insight as part of a broader picture: vulnerability scanning, web application security, intrusion detection and 25+ framework compliance mapping in one partner-delivered platform, both Dutch and EU-hosted. Common questions ## Guardian360 vs Attic Security, answered Does Guardian360 do Microsoft 365 security like Attic Security? Yes. Microsoft 365 insight is one of Guardian360’s capabilities: admin roles, MFA adoption, Secure Score, compromised-account flags and more. Attic Security goes deeper on M365 hardening alone; Guardian360 covers M365 alongside scanning, web app security, intrusion detection and compliance. Both are Dutch, why choose Guardian360?
