Cyber resilience – Stangeland Maskin (NO)

Around the clock security

For Kristian Fjermestad, Head of IT at Stangeland Maskin, IT security is a constant responsibility. Each day begins with a review of the previous night’s logs, but thanks to Advania’s SOC service, he no longer carries the burden alone.

Two years ago, the family-owned company chose Advania’s SOC (Security Operations Centre) service, delivered by Advania Cyber Defence Centre. The decision provides continuous monitoring of Stange-land’s IT environment, ensuring that security experts are always ready to respond to potential threats.

“The sense of security is completely different now,” says Kristian. “There is someone keeping watch 24/7. If something happens, we know action will be taken immediately.”

Founded in 1959 and headquartered in Rogaland, Stangeland operates across construction, civil engineering, property, recycling and environmental services. Preparedness, structure and efficiency are core values—also reflected in the company’s approach to IT security.

Security is a perishable good, and that makes it crucial to have a partner who is monitoring things at all times.
Advania delivers on what they promise.

Recognising that in-house resources alone were not sufficient to keep pace with an evolving threat landscape, Stangeland chose to partner with a specialist provider. Over the past three years, the company has significantly raised its security level, introducing multi-factor authentication, investing in Microsoft security services and implementing Advania’s SOC as a natural next step.

Kristian highlights both the implementation and ongoing follow-up as key strengths. Monthly reviews provide insight not only into blocked incidents, but also into the global threat landscape, supporting continuous improvement.

For Stangeland, the investment is about resilience and peace of mind. “Security is like insurance – you hope you never need it, but if something happens, it’s critical that someone can stop it quickly,” Kristian explains.

With rapid response routines, clear communication and reliable delivery, Advania has become a trusted security partner – helping ensure that Stangeland remains vigilant in a landscape where security must always be actively maintained.
