What CERTEGO Srl does

CERTEGO Srl is a privately held Italian cybersecurity company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Modena, Italy. The company delivers 24/7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services to mid-market and enterprise customers, with active vertical coverage in financial services, manufacturing and OT, and energy and utilities. It operates through a Danish subsidiary, SCANVIEW, providing a foothold in the Nordic region. The company's primary commercial offering is subscription-based MDR, sold on annual contracts with module-level customization priced to each customer's infrastructure scale and service scope; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set through direct, consultative engagement with enterprise security buyers.

The technical core is PanOptikon®, a proprietary SaaS unified security operations platform that aggregates and enriches telemetry from EDR sensors, physical and virtual network sensors, cloud environments, SaaS applications, and OT systems into a single operational environment. PanOptikon® is paired with three module families (Detection, Response, and Threat Intelligence) and with Halo, an internal detection engineering platform that exposes raw endpoint telemetry for rule authoring and customer-specific tuning. CERTEGO also maintains IntelOwl, an open-source threat intelligence platform with more than 4,500 GitHub stars, which is natively integrated into PanOptikon® and feeds proprietary Italian-market IOC generation. The company reports customer outcomes including greater than 94% reduction in false positives via Halo and double-digit-percentage uplift in firewall blocks within days of IOC feed deployment for financial and industrial customers.

Go-to-market is enterprise field sales — direct engagement with CISOs, CIOs, and IT leadership — supplemented by a security integrator role for complementary technologies (e.g., Dallmeier surveillance in industrial deployments). CERTEGO holds ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27017, and ISO/IEC 27018 certifications and is listed in the European Cybersecurity Atlas, and generates thought leadership through an active blog, webinars, datasheets, and the annual PanoptiCON conference. Revenue is not disclosed; with 11–50 employees and no external funding rounds on record, growth has been organic, supported by geographic extension into the Nordics and deepening vertical reach into regulated critical infrastructure markets.
