What SECNORA® does

SECNORA® is a privately held cybersecurity and risk advisory firm founded in 2018 and headquartered in Tartu, Estonia. The firm provides professional services focused on Information Security and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), serving organizations in regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, and government that face elevated cyber risk and tightening AI governance requirements. Its service mix includes cyber risk advisory, GRC consulting, and emerging AI governance guidance, delivered through project-based engagements.

The firm's core offering is human advisory rather than a packaged technology product: no proprietary software platform, modules, patents, or productized AI tooling are disclosed in available sources. Its stated technology positioning rests on its expertise in cyber and AI risk domains rather than on a defensible technology stack. The firm claims a global footprint, anchored by its Estonian headquarters and supported by international leadership with government advisory and diplomatic ties.

SECNORA generates revenue through professional services — primarily fixed-fee and time-and-materials consulting engagements — with no publicly disclosed pricing or recurring managed-service contracts. Its go-to-market is enterprise-focused, targeting regulated-industry clients that require advisory-level engagement on cyber and AI risk. The firm employs between 11 and 50 people and is led by CEO Rajivarnan Raveendradasan and CTO Omkar Joshi. In March 2026, SECNORA initiated a North American expansion by appointing Nilrusha Pieris, currently Honorary Consul of the Republic of El Salvador, as Board Member and U.S. Business Partner.

Emerging players
