Flowgate

What Flowgate does

Flowgate is an Argentine boutique information-security consultancy founded in 2004 and headquartered in Rosario, with operations extending into Spain and Estonia. The firm is led by founder Guillermo Marro (MSc in Computer Science Security from UC Davis, NASA project veteran) and CTO Guillermo Caminer, and is positioned within the digital ecosystem of Practia, the most prominent technology consulting firm in Latin America. Flowgate self-describes as a "small organization trusted by big organizations," with 20+ years of specialized security experience.

The company's offering is organized into four professional-service categories: Security Analysis (penetration testing, API security testing, application and service analysis, forensic analysis, malware analysis); Security Implementations (protection infrastructure, 2FA, PKI and digital signatures, platform hardening, crypto-asset management); Standards Compliance Audits (PCI, ISO 27001, GDPR, OWASP ASVS/SAMM/BSIMM, BCRA, CNV); and Risk Mitigation Strategies (CISO as a Service, secure software development training, incident response training, ethical hacking training, security awareness campaigns, security policies, privacy protection). Core differentiators cited are manual expertise in API authorization and business-logic vulnerabilities that automated tools miss, custom out-of-band 2FA applications for iOS/Android, and cryptocurrency-asset protection mechanisms.

Flowgate monetizes primarily through custom-priced, multi-year consulting engagements supplemented by a CISO-as-a-Service subscription tier. Distribution is sales-led and direct: clients reach Flowgate through website contact forms and consultative scoping discussions, with no reseller or marketplace channels and no public pricing. The customer mix spans enterprise organizations in regulated industries (financial services, payments, retail) in Argentina, Latin America, and Europe; the only publicly named end-customer is Kuldan, an Estonian jewellery SMB that deployed Flowgate's crypto-payment POS technology via a March 2026 integration with CoinsPaid's CryptoProcessing division.
