Norderstedt, May 9, 2025 – The cooperation is aiming to bundle joint resources in order to implement projects flexibly and quickly and covers the entire German-speaking market. LHIND and TÜVIT SeCom have extensive expertise in data protection and IT security, which they have been successfully applying in various projects for years. Both companies stand in particular for high security standards, which result from the aviation DNA of the Lufthansa subsidiary and the core business of TÜV.

Initially, the joint fields of work will be information security management, data protection, technical security consulting and pentesting, which will be offered across all sectors. In the future, this offering will be expanded to include other fields. LHIND will contribute its high level of security expertise from the aviation sector, while TÜVIT SeCom will contribute its long-standing proximity to critical infrastructure sectors. This cooperation is particularly valuable for customers in large-scale industry and companies facing complex challenges whose projects often fail due to capacity bottlenecks.

This cooperation is of strategic relevance to us because, together with TÜVIT SeCom, we can expand our expertise and create more comprehensive security solutions for our customers,
