About 7 Security Group
7 Security Group is a leading provider of anti-theft, anti-intrusion, and security and automation systems in Italy. Based in Perugia, the company has an impressive 25-year-old track record of helping businesses with physical security and threat detection systems. However, it sought to expand its offerings to meet the evolving needs of its clients and provide comprehensive security coverage, both physical and digital.
The Problem
7 Security Group’s clients would frequently ask them for assistance in the digital security realm, too. While the company was traditionally focused on physical security, it recognized the need to evolve its product to meet the growing demand for cybersecurity solutions. Their goal was to provide clients with enhanced digital protection alongside their existing surveillance systems.
7 Security Group’s priority was:
- Finding a cost-effective, high-quality cybersecurity solution
- Ensuring easy integration with their existing infrastructure
- Providing customizable security settings tailored to different clients
- Incorporating a solution that would not require much onboarding assistance and be intuitive for their clients to understand
- Delivering real-time support for troubleshooting and issue resolution
“I was tasked with finding a solution that delivered excellent services at an affordable price,” explains Nassime, the IT and cybersecurity lead at 7 Security Group. “I discovered Control D after extensive online research and a discovery call, after which we’ve never looked back,” he adds.
The Solution
After extensive testing and evaluation, 7 Security Group chose Control D due to its affordability, ease of deployment, and exceptional customer support. Nassime explains how the service was exceptionally stable, and the ease with which they were able to get set up was a big factor in their decision.
“We reached a level with our cybersecurity expertise that other companies in our city were nowhere close to,” adds Nassime.
Specifically, 7 Security Group was able to:
Deploy custom security perimeters
Integrating Control D at the firewall level for each client, ensuring tailored protection.
Engage in advanced DNS filtering
Blocking specific websites and entire categories to enhance network security and prevent cyber threats.
Set up automated reporting
Leveraging API integrations to generate detailed security reports, enhancing threat monitoring, management, and overall user experience.

Thanks to Control D’s MSP-ready architecture, managing multiple clients through sub-tenants is easy and efficient, streamlining administration and scalability.
The Results
Since implementing Control D, 7 Security Group has introduced wholesale changes to their business model. They’ve onboarded several new clients to their new capabilities and every single one is extremely pleased with the outcome.
The enhanced cybersecurity capabilities pair well with the physical security solutions that the company has, allowing 7 Security Group to bill more and boost their bottom line.
Clients love the one-click blocking and filtering options,” explains Nassime. “The new troubleshooting tools allow us to fix issues in just two clicks.”
“Our customers are very happy with the service, and it's an easy sell.”
"One of our clients told us that this service has completely transformed how we manage security. The ability to instantly block and unblock sites makes it incredibly efficient for us."
Seven Security Group has successfully onboarded 10+ clients so far and is now gearing up for a large-scale deployment, intending to onboard a substantial number of clients in the coming months.
Why 7 Security Group Loves Control D
"The best part? The support. Joe and the Control D team have been incredibly responsive, helping us troubleshoot, implement solutions, and even improve our service model,” says Nassime.
"This tool has given us a competitive edge—we can now offer cybersecurity solutions that even bigger companies in Italy don’t have."
With Control D, Seven Security Group has transitioned from a purely physical security company to a comprehensive cybersecurity provider.
