Always protected: Stangeland Maskin strengthens security with Advania’s SOC
For a company managing critical infrastructure projects, cyber security is not optional. Every minute of downtime carries real operational and financial consequences.
Stangeland Maskin is a family-owned group based in Sola, Norway, with operations in construction, civil engineering, property, recycling, and environmental services. They have roots dating back to 1959, and manage critical infrastructure projects where uptime, safety, and compliance are essential to daily operations.
Despite growing awareness of cyber risk, Stangeland’s internal IT team lacked the capacity and specialised security expertise to monitor threats around the clock. With an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape and every minute of downtime carrying a real cost, the company needed a trusted security partner that could detect and respond to incidents before they disrupted operations.
A trusted partnership
Stangeland partnered with Advania’s Cyber Defense Center to implement a managed Security Operations Center (SOC) service that continuously monitors the company’s systems 24/7/365. The SOC service integrates with Stangeland’s existing investments in Microsoft security and multi-factor authentication, while Advania’s experts provide ongoing guidance, monthly reporting, and hands-on incident handling when suspicious activity is detected.
Key outcomes
- 24/7 monitoring delivers a completely new level of peace of mind, with experts ready to act the moment an incident occurs.
- Faster incident response helps contain issues such as compromised passwords before they escalate into business‑critical outages.
- Regular security reviews and reports give Stangeland visibility into both blocked threats and the broader global threat landscape.
- The company can focus on core construction and recycling projects, confident that cyber security is handled by a specialised partner.
“We don’t have the capacity or competence to handle this on our own. With Advania’s SOC, there is always someone watching our systems 24 hours a day, ready to respond immediately if something happens.” – Kristian, IT Manager, Stangeland Maskin
Close collaboration between Stangeland’s IT manager and Advania’s Cyber Defense Center, including smooth onboarding and structured monthly follow‑up meetings, has built strong trust in the service. By combining Stangeland’s knowledge of its business with Advania’s specialised SOC capabilities, the partnership ensures security is continuously improved rather than treated as a one‑off project.
