Landmark Technologies, the Irish IT and cybersecurity provider, is investing €500,000 to introduce a managed compliance service and targets 30% annual revenue growth. The service matters to the sector because it brings technical cybersecurity work and governance support under one provider for firms without in-house compliance expertise.

Landmark, headquartered in Dublin, provides managed IT services covering security, cloud infrastructure, backup, connectivity and remote working. Its existing compliance and governance work includes Cyber Essentials certification, ISO 27001, DORA and NIS2.

The €500,000 funds development of the compliance capability, including specialist recruitment and training, and the creation of five roles across technical implementation, compliance and administration. Landmark plans to develop the service into a dedicated division within the business, with compliance expected to become a significant growth area over the coming year.

The service covers NIS2, DORA and ISO 27001, combining technical cybersecurity implementation with the governance, policies and documentation needed to meet and maintain each standard. The service provides a single point of support, helping organisations understand what is required, put the necessary controls and governance in place, and maintain compliance over time.

Businesses are increasingly asked to show evidence of compliance when tendering for contracts or joining larger supply chains, while the growing use of AI adds a layer of governance around how tools are used and how company data is handled.

Ken Kelleher, Managing Director, Landmark Technologies, said: “Compliance is increasingly becoming a condition of doing business.” He added: “Achieving a standard is one thing; maintaining it is another.”

Kelleher said: “Businesses need the right technical controls in place, but they also need the policies, processes and governance behind them.”

The five roles span operational delivery and back-office support, which indicates a standing business line rather than a limited advisory offer.

The structural driver is regulatory and supply-chain pressure, from NIS2 and DORA to customer and insurer expectations, which turns compliance from a one-off project into a continuing obligation.

For the sector, the investment shows Irish IT providers building dedicated managed compliance practices, with maintaining standards over time becoming a recurring service line.
