What Argo Business Solutions S.r.l. does

Argo Business Solutions S.r.l. is a Turin-headquartered Italian limited liability company founded in January 2018 by Daniele Berardo, Fabio Cassanelli, and Simone Bonamin, operating as a consulting firm specialized in digital security, privacy compliance, and online brand protection. The company serves enterprise clients primarily in Italy with stated reach across broader Europe and the United States, delivering a horizontal portfolio of services across five pillars: GDPR/privacy compliance (including DPO services), cybersecurity consulting (ISO 27001 implementation, VAPT, NIS2), online brand protection (counterfeit, grey-market, marketplace, NFT, and social network monitoring), whistleblowing compliance under EU Directive 2019/1937, and domain portfolio management.

The firm's delivery combines professional consulting by a multidisciplinary team of IT engineers and legal professionals with four proprietary technology platforms: XView (brand intelligence dashboards and integrated enforcement workflow), Fasidar (active web monitoring with an adaptive detection engine for counterfeit and trademark infringement identification), Argo SafeBox (a secure whistleblowing platform built on Transparency International's GlobaLeaks open-source framework, hosted on Hetzner EU infrastructure with 2FA and Tor support), and Dominioweb (domain registration, DNS, hosting, and PEC services launched via the October 2024 acquisition of Weburl S.r.l.). A simplified SafeBox Easy variant targets micro-enterprises and sports associations and adds audio report submission.

Argo's business model blends three revenue streams: professional consulting (GDPR, cybersecurity, brand-protection engagements), SaaS subscriptions (SafeBox, XView, Dominioweb), and managed domain/hosting services. Distribution is sales-led via direct consulting engagement, free initial analysis, and dedicated account managers, with quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. The firm holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015 certifications, achieved AGCOM Trusted Flagger accreditation in January 2025, and operates from three Italian offices (Turin HQ, Milan sales, Cuneo registered office) with a team of 1–10 employees.

Core offering

Argo Business Solutions is a consulting firm that delivers professional services and proprietary SaaS platforms in five core areas: Privacy/GDPR compliance, Cybersecurity (ISO 27001, NIS2), Online Brand Protection, Whistleblowing compliance, and Domain Portfolio Management. The firm combines a multidisciplinary team of IT engineers and legal professionals with in-house developed technology platforms (XView, Fasidar, Argo SafeBox, Dominioweb) to provide end-to-end digital security, compliance, and IP protection for enterprise clients.

Product overview

Argo Business Solutions offers a portfolio of proprietary platforms and services focused on digital security, compliance, and brand protection. The core product suite consists of: (1) XView, a brand intelligence platform providing dashboards and threat analytics; (2) Fasidar, an active web monitoring platform for real-time threat detection; (3) Argo SafeBox, a whistleblowing compliance platform based on the GlobaLeaks open-source framework; (4) SafeBox Easy, a simplified variant for micro-enterprises; and (5) Dominioweb, a domain registration and portfolio management portal. These products serve distinct but complementary needs—Fasidar feeds monitoring data into XView, while SafeBox addresses whistleblowing regulations and Dominioweb handles domain management.
