Taking responsibility where it changes something.
The ProSec Group faces up to its social responsibility. We place our contributions where they actually change something: with people and organizations that are exposed to digital risks without being able to counter them with their own means. The yardstick is impact, not the distance from the company’s seat. Our engagement is designed for the long term and follows three principles.
What we align our engagement with.
Social engagement does not become effective by being large, but by being reliable and starting where a company can actually contribute something.
Long-term instead of occasion-driven
What we commit to, we sustain for years. Contributions are repeated and developed further, because impact takes time and requires reliability.
Where the contribution counts
We do not distribute our engagement by proximity or visibility, but by impact. That includes the group’s locations as well as the international markets in which we work.
What only we can contribute
The most effective contribution of a security company is knowledge. Anyone can give funds; the ability to make digital risks understandable is rarer.
Three kinds of contribution.
We clearly distinguish what we contribute: knowledge, training and funds. Each field has its own audiences and its own yardstick for whether the contribution works.
They are carried by experts from the units who put their working time into them, and by funds of the group.
What we have taken part in.
The list is continuously updated. It describes contributions of the group, not private initiatives of individual employees.

Children’s and youth hospice work
Contribution to the charity festival in Stehbachstraße in Mayen, which was initiated by Ristorante Caravella and a neighboring craft business. Under the motto “Kinder kochen und backen für Kinder” (children cook and bake for children), 16,800 euros were raised for the outpatient children’s and youth hospice in Koblenz.
Supporting youth facilities
Support for facilities and formats that teach children and young people how to use digital services safely.
Contributions to charitable projects
Contributions to charitable organizations, decided within the group and concentrated on a few recipients.
Security knowledge is not a possession. It only takes effect when it arrives where it is missing.
Companies can buy security. Educational institutions, charitable organizations and volunteer organizations cannot, although they are exposed to the same risks. Evening out this difference a little is part of what we understand by social responsibility.
