What Farsight Tech Nordic does

Farsight Tech Nordic AB is a privately held Swedish IT services and software company headquartered in Skövde, Västra Götaland, with origins tracing to 1997 and formal incorporation as Västgöta-Data AB in 2006 before rebranding to its current name in 2021. The firm operates a hybrid business model combining (i) IT consulting and managed services — covering cybersecurity, system and database development, network engineering, web/UX design, project management, and AI advisory — with (ii) a portfolio of four proprietary software products: ProVide Server (secure SFTP/FTP file transfer, deployed in 90+ countries), AgentWay (SCADA-ERP-BI integration), Threat Prevention Center (managed vulnerability and dark-web monitoring, sold as a monthly or annual subscription), and Qrisa (crisis management platform developed for mPowerment).

The company serves enterprise and mid-market clients across defense (SAAB), energy (VänerEnergi, Lidk\u00f6pings Energi), manufacturing/agriculture (Tornum), engineering (COWI), public sector (Samhall, Science Park Sk\u00f6vde), and SMBs, with engagement models ranging from consultant placement and project delivery to recurring managed services. GTM motion is sales-led for consulting and product-led (own e-commerce storefront, partner ecosystems, published pricing for TPC) for software. Certifications include Cybersäkerhet Bas, with ISO/IEC 27001 targeted for 2027, and the firm explicitly aligns operations with NIS2, CER, and the Swedish Cybersecurity Act (2025:1506).

Farsight is bootstrapped with no external funding, approximately 20 employees, and is led by its three co-founders alongside a small management team including a CTO/CISO, IT Chief, sales/marketing head, and development manager. Strategic emphasis is on cybersecurity credibility (delivered via partnerships with recognized experts Marcus Nohlberg and David Jacoby), regulatory compliance positioning, and extending the proprietary product footprint beyond consulting.
