Case Study: Theo Pouw Group achieves scalable, 100%‑reliable network security with Sophos XG Firewall

Theo Pouw Groep strengthens control of network security with NetStream

Theo Pouw Group, a Dutch sustainable one‑stop supplier for soil, road, water and concrete construction with 550+ employees and 12 branches, faced growing demands on its IT network as business and vehicle telematics expanded. Because all internal and external data traffic runs through its firewalls, the company needed a 100% reliable, scalable security platform—so in partnership with Sophos (and Sophos Platinum Partner NetStream) they reviewed next‑gen firewall options.

Working with NetStream, Theo Pouw Group upgraded to Sophos XG Firewall clusters with SD‑WAN and put a phased rollout and weekend cutover plan in place. The Sophos solution delivered greater capacity and scalability, was implemented across major sites in a single weekend with no service interruption, and is now monitored 24/7 (via NetStream using Sophos management tools), allowing incidents to be resolved proactively and giving the company a secure, scalable foundation for ongoing growth.
