About the Dussmann Group

From idea to worldwide success

62 years after it was first founded by Peter Dussmann, the Dussmann Group is doing better than ever. Starting with a good idea, we have developed into a global family company with some 70,000 motivated employees in 21 countries and 3.3 billion euros in sales. We are looking ahead to a promising fiscal year in 2025 as well, as we forge ahead with our next-level strategy and pursue our crystal-clear vision for the future of the Dussmann Group.

Part of this strategy is our constant exploration of innovations and megatrends such as New Work, digitalization, sustainability, and the demographic changes taking shape across society. On this basis, we supply our customers with precision-tailored solutions, all in service to the same credo we inherited from our founder, Peter Dussmann: "Identifying and serving people’s needs."

Holistic Cybersecurity for Businesses

Code Blue by Dussmann

Cybersecurity challenges are constantly growing. With Code Blue by Dussmann, we combine our experience in physical security services with the digital expertise of our partners.

Through the joint venture Code Blue by Dussmann, the Dussmann Group has expanded its portfolio to include specialized cybersecurity services. Together with the private Israeli company Code Blue Ltd., an internationally experienced expert in cyber crisis management, a cybersecurity service provider has been established that supports organizations in Germany before, during, and after cyberattacks.

The goal is to protect German businesses as effectively as possible from cyber threats while also preparing them for the eventuality of a successful cyberattack – from identifying vulnerabilities to developing security strategies and emergency plans, all the way to targeted intervention. Another key focus is proactive cyber defense to maintain or quickly restore business operations during an attack.

In addition to strategic consulting and crisis management, operational stability is also a priority – a crucial factor for the resilience of modern organizations.

Service Portfolio:

  • Prevention: Risk analyses, business continuity strategies
  • Crisis Management: Rapid response teams for acute incidents
  • Cyber Defense: Ensuring operational capability in the event of an attack
