verinice – operation in-house
Operating verinice on your own systems is a common scenario for ensuring the protection goal of confidentiality. Another option is to operate it at a trusted hosting service, e.g. in a municipal data center, a state-owned enterprise or the outsourced corporate IT.
Starting in early 2026, SerNet offers verinice.onprem for in-house operation with maximum sovereignty.
Please contact our sales department to request an offer.
Kubernetes & Appliance
Configuration alternatives are available and can be customized:
- Software packages for Kubernetes
With Kubernetes know-how, the basis for verinice can be set up by the customer. This includes setting up the database and installing the Kubernetes cluster. - Appliance based on OpenShift
SerNet offers virtual appliances for smaller environments. In these, the Kubernetes environment is configured and can be easily put into operation – Kubernetes knowledge is not necessary. We will provide information about the technical basis for this here shortly.
Operation and Migration
SerNet offers comprehensive technical support for the installation of verinice for on-premises operation. This begins with the design of the operational environment for sizing the target systems and the technical requirements for server and network configuration. SerNet advises on the required licenses and, if desired, delivers all the required software from a single source.
For the operation of verinice with several clients, SerNet provides support for the protection concept of client separation, the necessary verinice licenses for users and units (clients). If required, we work in close coordination with the verinice partners, who provide consulting for the operation of the ISMS tool.
The migration of existing verinice.PRO servers is largely simplified by a parallel provision of the existing and new servers. This allows multiple rehearsals to ensure the best possible data transfer between the systems.
White Label
You want to set up your own verinice.cloud? You can license verinice from SerNet for this purpose. SerNet provides the complete account management. This includes the implemented payment systems, which also underlie the verinice.cloud operated by SerNet.
This alternative is suitable for large customers or partners who want or need to operate verinice with a maximum of autonomy. For this purpose, you conclude the corresponding license agreements directly with SerNet GmbH.
verinice.onprem Appliance
To use verinice.onprem with a Talos VM, you will receive a pre-configured VM that you can import into your virtualisation environment.
Recommended resources for the VM:
- 6 CPU: 6 vCores
- RAM: 12 GB
- Storage: 200 GB
Minimum resources for the VM:
- CPU: 4 vCores
- RAM: 8 GB
- Storage: 50 GB
Operating system:
All – access to verinice.onprem is web-based.
Virtualisation:
The verinice.onprem VM requires a virtualisation environment, e.g. VMware, VirtualBox or Hyper-V. The verinice.onprem VM can be run in other virtualisation environments. However, SerNet does not test with these.
No requirements for Java or a database – everything is supplied ready to use.
verinice.onprem for Kubernetes Cluster
A fully functional Kubernetes environment is required to use verinice.onprem. You can install verinice.onprem in your environment using the Kubernetes package manager Helm.
Recommended resources for the Kubernetes environment:
- Kubernetes cluster with at least three nodes
- 6 CPU: 6 vCores/node
- RAM: 12 GB
- Storage: 200 GB for the database
Minimum resources for the Kubernetes environment:
- Kubernetes cluster with one node
- CPU: 4 vCores/node
- RAM: 8 GB
- Storage: 50 GB for the database
Operating system:
All, as access to verinice.onprem is web-based.
Additional information:
Integration of your own/existing Ingress, PostgreSQL database, Keycloak or RabbitMQ may be possible under certain circumstances, but is not required – verinice.onprem provides all necessary components.
