Practices, law firms, shops, municipalities, trades: every industry has its own data, obligations and weak points. This is how we proceed for each industry.

- [Online Shop Hacked? IT Security for Merchants](https://phpsos.de/en/branchen/onlineshops/): A shop is your till, your customer file and your shop window in one. We show what to do first when a PHP shop is attacked and who is responsible for what.
- [Website Security for Medical Practices and MVZ](https://phpsos.de/en/branchen/arztpraxen/): Practice websites handle appointment requests, prescription requests and questions about test results. We show where health data ends up and who has to act when a vulnerability appears.
- [IT Security for Law Firms: Professional Secrecy on the Web Server](https://phpsos.de/en/branchen/kanzleien/): Law firms increasingly exchange briefs, powers of attorney and evidence through portals. We show where PHP systems run in a law firm and how an incident can be kept confidential.
- [IT Security for Tax Advisors and Their Client Portals](https://phpsos.de/en/branchen/steuerberater/): Tax firms handle bank details, payroll statements and tax IDs of entire workforces. We show which portals run on PHP and what counts first in an incident.
- [Trades Business Website Hacked: Help for Firms Without an IT Department](https://phpsos.de/en/branchen/handwerk/): In a trades business, hardly anyone looks after the website full-time. We show what to do about PHP2Shell or a hack when the web designer is no longer reachable.
- [Cybersecurity for Mid-Sized Business and Industry: Keeping PHP Systems Under Control](https://phpsos.de/en/branchen/mittelstand-industrie/): Alongside the company website, mid-sized firms often run dozens of PHP applications that nobody manages centrally. We show how to find them, secure them and prove their status to customers and authorities.
- [Vulnerability on a Municipal Website: A Guide for Local Administrations](https://phpsos.de/en/branchen/kommunen-verwaltung/): A municipality's website is both an official source of information and the gateway to public services. We show how administrations respond to PHP2Shell and who decides what in-house.
- [Moodle Security for Schools and Education Providers](https://phpsos.de/en/branchen/schulen-bildung/): Learning platforms such as Moodle hold data on minors, grades and submissions. We show how schools and education providers respond to PHP2Shell and who is responsible.
- [Hotel Website Hacked? IT Security for Hotels and Hospitality](https://phpsos.de/en/branchen/hotels-gastgewerbe/): Hotel websites combine direct booking, voucher sales and guest communication. We show where PHP vulnerabilities do damage there and how to proceed in the first hours.
- [IT Security for Property Management and Real Estate Companies](https://phpsos.de/en/branchen/immobilien-hausverwaltung/): Property managers handle tenancy agreements, bank details and tenant self-disclosures, often through portals and online forms. We show where PHP vulnerabilities strike and what to do in the first hours.
- [White-Label IT Security: A Security Partner for Agencies](https://phpsos.de/en/branchen/agenturen-white-label/): Agencies often look after dozens of client sites on different servers. We work in the background: you remain your clients' point of contact, we take over patches, cleanup and proof.
- [Club Website Hacked? IT Security for Clubs and Associations](https://phpsos.de/en/branchen/vereine-verbaende/): Club websites are often maintained by volunteers yet hold member data and bank details. We show what boards can do about PHP2Shell or a hack, even on a small budget.
- [Website Security for Pharmacies: Pre-Orders, Shop and Health Data](https://phpsos.de/en/branchen/apotheken/): Pharmacy websites handle pre-orders, prescription photos and shop orders. We show where health data ends up and what to do first about PHP2Shell.
- [Cybersecurity for Logistics and Freight Forwarding: Portals and Supply Chains](https://phpsos.de/en/branchen/logistik/): In logistics, portals connect customers, drivers, warehouses and clients. We show where PHP systems run, which data interests attackers and how to keep operations going during an incident.
