What Rolasecurity does

rola Security Solutions GmbH designs and develops specialized software for information management in the security sector, serving primarily German federal and state authorities including police, intelligence agencies, the Bundeswehr, financial investigation units, and cyber defense organizations, with some international security-sector customers. Founded in 1983 and headquartered in Oberhausen, Germany, the company operates as a 100% subsidiary of T-Systems International GmbH within the Deutsche Telekom Group, a relationship established in 2014.

The company's commercial offering is a modular suite marketed under the rsFrame core, with add-on modules rsShadow (data fusion and knowledge management), rsObIn (AI-powered image and video recognition), rsNetMAn (OSINT and social media monitoring across 250M+ online sources), rsTAX (financial investigation), rsCase (case management), rsIntCent (real-time situation assessment), rsEvid (digital evidence management, integrated with LIMS and VBS), and rsExTract (mass data analysis). The proprietary technology layer centers on neural-network-based vector-based face and object recognition capable of identifying masked individuals through body-region matching, supported by multilingual NLP for entity extraction and translation. The portfolio was extended in October 2025 through a Franco-German strategic partnership that integrates the ArgonOS sovereign Big Data Analytics Platform from ChapsVision, with SVA as implementation partner.

Commercial mechanics are enterprise and government-oriented: direct sales to security authorities under strategic-partnership and customized-integration contracts, subscription/recurring license and services revenue streams, no public pricing, and delivery through a 350+ person organization supplemented by participation in industry events (Drone Resilience Day, Polizeitag Düsseldorf) and content marketing. Recent operational milestones include the deployment of rsNetMAn and rsObIn for UEFA Euro 2024 security and an OSINT situation report deployed for German foreign missions.

Direct peers

• Secunet Security Networks AG: German public-listed IT security provider serving government authorities, police, military, and critical infrastructure with very similar product categories (SINA, high-security biometrics, border control). The closest direct peer to rola by geography, customer base, and security authority focus.
• Palantir Technologies: US-based big-data analytics platform with growing footprint in German policing and intelligence (Hessen, NRW, BKA contracts). Directly competes on OSINT, case management, and data fusion for security authorities, albeit from a US sovereignty position.
• Rohde & Schwarz SIT: German security subsidiary of Rohde & Schwarz providing sovereign crypto, monitoring, and IT security products to government authorities. Direct peer by national origin, customer base (German federal agencies), and domain specialization.

Broad incumbents

• BAE Systems Digital Intelligence: UK-headquartered defense and security intelligence arm of BAE Systems, offering data analytics, OSINT, and law-enforcement software to European governments. Broader portfolio but overlapping customer base and product capabilities in security analytics.
• Thales Group: Global defense and security conglomerate with significant digital identity, biometrics, and law-enforcement IT offerings in Europe. Competes with rola in secure communications, biometrics, and authority-grade analytics, though within a much broader portfolio.
• Atos (Eviden): European IT services and cybersecurity division within Atos, providing mission-critical systems, digital security, and data analytics to police, defense, and intelligence agencies. Directly comparable in scale and customer profile, though broader in scope than rola.
• Sopra Steria: European IT services group with a dedicated Defense & Security division serving UK, French, German, Norwegian, and Belgian security and defense clients. Comparable in delivering custom mission-critical IT for government security authorities.
• IDEMIA: French biometrics and identity solutions vendor serving police, border, and civil identity authorities worldwide. Directly overlaps with rola's biometric identification capabilities, particularly rsObIn, though at much larger global scale.
• CGI Group: Canadian-headquartered IT consulting and systems integration firm with a sizeable European defense and security practice serving UK, German, and Nordic authorities. Comparable in delivering custom mission-critical IT for security authorities.

Regional players

• Hensoldt AG: German defense electronics and sensor specialist increasingly offering intelligence and surveillance data analytics to military and security authorities. Comparable in customer base (Bundeswehr, German agencies) and overlap in intelligence data fusion offerings.
