Navixia

What Navixia does

Navixia SA is a privately held Swiss IT security specialist founded in 2005 and headquartered in Ecublens (Lausanne region), operating with 11–50 employees and no disclosed external investors. The company delivers three revenue streams: professional security assessments (external, internal, application, code review, architecture/configuration audits, code signing), training services (SecDev, Check Point Firewall Operator and Advanced Policies & Defense, IT administrator security awareness), and managed security services. Two proprietary assets anchor the offering — DiagnoPhish, a trilingual phishing awareness training platform (English, French, German) increasingly delivered as a managed service, and a Managed Canary Service built around Thinkst Canary intrusion-detection hardware. Beyond these, Navixia is a managed-services wrapper for third-party vendor technology across Illumio (micro-segmentation), Netskope (SSE), XM Cyber (exposure management), Red Sift (email/DMARC), Kiteworks (secure file sharing), Cryoserver (archiving), and broader portfolio partners including Check Point, Microsoft, Forescout, Cisco, F5, Tenable and Thales.

The company sells horizontally into Swiss SMEs, mid-market and multinational customers via direct enterprise field sales, public training courses at its Ecublens training center, and partner-led referrals. Pricing is mixed: per-seat training is publicly disclosed at CHF 1,250–2,500, while security assessments and managed services are quote-based with multi-year contracts for enterprise engagements. Its GTM relies on a content-marketing engine (technical blog, newsletter, webinars, Christmas cybersecurity quiz) and a deep partner channel rather than a self-developed sales motion.

Ownership remains with the founders; the most material corporate event is the January 2022 leadership transition from co-founder Claude Krähenbühl to Patrick Zwahlen (EPFL master's, 20+ years in information security), with Krähenbühl retaining a board seat. The firm celebrated its 20th anniversary in November 2025, underscoring a stable, self-funded operating history rather than a venture-backed growth narrative.
