Case Study: Sparc Group achieves robust cyber-risk management and simplified IT amid rapid growth with Barracuda Networks

Helping Sweden’s fastgrowing Sparc Group to manage cyber risk and IT complexity

Sparc Group is a fast‑growing Swedish provider of plumbing, electrical, telecoms, IT and building‑security services that has expanded through more than 80 acquisitions to exceed $200M in revenue and roughly 1,000 employees. That rapid growth created a much larger attack surface and a distributed, mobile workforce, driving a Zero Trust security mandate and an urgent need to simplify and strengthen cyber‑risk management.

Sparc consolidated security under Two Stone IT using Barracuda Email Protection, Application Protection, Managed XDR and CloudGen Access (with plans to move to SecureEdge/SASE). Managed XDR in particular detected and helped mitigate multiple incidents before disaster recovery was needed, repelled email and web threats, supported the Zero Trust journey, and enabled the group to expand IT services and onboard acquired businesses more quickly.
