On April 4, 2014, the newspaper L’Arena published an article titled “EasyGroup, sicurezza anche per pmi” (EasyGroup, security also for SMEs), in which Francesco Ongaro is cited as sole administrator of ISGroup and creator of the EasyAudit spin-off. In the interview, Ongaro illustrated the birth of the project — designed to make high-level information security services accessible to small and medium enterprises, traditionally reserved for large companies — and explained how the experience gained with hundreds of penetration tests allowed the development of a hybrid process based on automatic tools and human consulting. The service had already been adopted by about 100 SMEs, with expansion underway also towards Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and the United Kingdom.
