Enginsight

Administrators who cannot say which devices sit on their network, or which of them can be attacked, are the people Enginsight wrote its software for. The Jena company was founded in 2017 by Mario Jandeck, Eric Range and Max Tarantik, who say they started it because they themselves lacked a single tool that showed the whole IT estate and its weak points. They develop the platform entirely in house in Germany, and the company states it has no dependencies on third-party tools.

Five steps from inventory to penetration test

Enginsight describes its platform as a five-step process. Step one is a continuous scan that builds a live picture of the network, with automatic detection and classification of devices, monitoring and asset management. Step two looks at Windows and Linux servers and clients from the inside, reporting known vulnerabilities by CVE, suggesting security configurations, watching network traffic for attacks and raising alerts on unauthorised access. Step three examines web applications and servers from the outside, with port and web monitoring and certificate management. Step four automates responses, including automatic fixes of configurations and patch management, and step five runs an automated penetration test that attempts attack scenarios such as brute force. The site gives set-up times of about five minutes for a first internal analysis and about ten for a penetration test.

Cloud, on-premises or white label

Enginsight can be used as a cloud service or installed in the customer's own data centre, which the company presents as full control of the data. It also offers an OEM or white label variant for firms that want to build the functions into their own products. The platform has since grown to include log management and SIEM, and the company sells a managed detection and response service alongside it. A 14-day free trial is offered, after which cloud use is priced individually according to the size of the customer's IT; no list prices are published. The company's information security management system is certified to ISO/IEC 27001 by TUV Thueringen.

Partner sales and the Verdane growth round

Sales run mainly through resellers. In its release of 3 November 2026 the company says it has more than 750 customers, over 80 staff and more than 250 active sales partners, a growing number of them managed service providers. It names public bodies, healthcare providers and regulated sectors as customers, and says demand is rising fastest among municipalities, hospitals and universities. The same release reports that the investor Verdane is heading a growth round of a double-digit million sum, with the existing investors UVC, HDI and SIV taking part, and that Verdane will become the largest shareholder once it closes. The money is meant to widen the partner network, grow SIEM and MDR sales to existing customers, enter selected European markets and make acquisitions beyond the German-speaking region.
