SaaS Security

What SaaS Security does

SaaS Security (legal name: SaaS Security as Nordic) is a Norwegian cloud security distributor operating exclusively through an MSP reseller channel in Norway and Sweden. The company does not sell directly to end-customers; instead, it recruits and onboards Managed Service Provider partners who resell cloud security services to their own SMB and mid-market client bases. SaaS Security is led by Managing Director Egil Løseth, is headquartered in Tromsø with a sales office in Oslo, and claims more than 20 years of combined IT security experience on a team of 1–10 employees.

The product portfolio consists entirely of third-party platforms distributed under partnership agreements: PowerDMARC for email authentication and DMARC enforcement (exclusive Nordic distributor since February 2021), Proofpoint Essentials for cloud-based email security with sandboxing, Safenet/Thales for adaptive multi-factor authentication and SSO, DNSSense/DNSFilter for DNS-layer threat protection, and Bitglass for agentless CASB and SASE. The technical differentiator is not the underlying technology — which comes from Gartner-recognized vendors — but the multi-tenant MSP portal SaaS Security operates to bundle these products, provide monthly billing, and enable resellers to manage multiple end-customers from a single console.

The business model is a pure two-tier distribution play: SaaS Security earns reseller/distribution margins on subscription volume flowing through the portal, with freemium trial funnels (15 days for PowerDMARC, 30 days for Proofpoint) feeding partner-led conversions. There is no disclosed revenue, no external funding, no parent company, and no enterprise sales motion — growth depends on expanding the MSP partner base in the Nordic region and cross-selling additional product lines into the existing channel.
