Seclion Oy

What Seclion Oy does

Seclion Oy is a Finnish security consulting firm headquartered in Vantaa (Helsinki metropolitan area) that delivers vendor-neutral advisory and design services across three integrated security domains: administrative security (governance, processes, personnel security), physical security (facility protection, CCTV, access control, intrusion detection, fire alarm systems, intrusion testing), and cybersecurity (access management, security culture, incident procedures). The company was founded in 2014 and has built a practice around regulatory fluency in Finnish and European frameworks including ISO 31000, ISO 27000, Katakri, FA guidelines, PCI DSS, TAPA FSR, Julkri, and the EU Critical Entities Resilience (CER) Directive, for which it has developed a proprietary compliance assessment tool (Seclion CER Työkalu). Its core offerings include security assessments, risk evaluations, security system design (functional and technical), physical intrusion exercises and hybrid attack simulations, procurement consulting, BREEAM security audits, and end-to-end supervision of security installations.

Seclion generates revenue through professional services engagements priced either as fixed lump-sum project fees (for clearly scoped assignments) or hourly/daily rates (for assignments under 200 hours), with travel re-billed at cost and invoicing capped at twice monthly. The company pursues an enterprise field-sales motion with named sales leadership engaging directly with prospects; bookings are facilitated through a virtual-meeting calendar on its website, and visibility is built via a Finnish-language content blog, LinkedIn, and trade-fair participation (FinnSec, Kokonaisturvallisuus). Its customer base is anchored by large enterprises and public-sector organizations in Finland, spanning energy (Neste, Kuopion Energia, Helen, Tampereen Vesi), finance/real estate (OP-Kiinteistösijoitus), technology/gaming (WithSecure, Supercell), transport (HKL, Väylävirasto), broadcasting (Digita), property services (RTK-Palvelu, Heka, Newsec, Korkeasaari Zoo), pharmaceuticals (Tamro), and education (Metropolia, Aalto University, Hyria, SYK, Spesia).

Operationally, Seclion operates as a boutique consultancy (headcount band 11–50, with 7+ security specialists reported as of 2018) led by co-founder and CEO Niko Ryhänen (named Security Consultant of the Year 2018), with a sales leadership team headed by Sales Director Jari Mattila and Sales Manager Valtteri Virtanen. The firm holds Suomen Vahvimmat Platina credit certification (AAA/AA+ for 3+ consecutive years), won a Finnish Security Awards commendation in 2020, and was accepted into the Finnish Information Security Cluster (FISC) in February 2021. Effective October 1, 2025, Seclion was acquired by and integrated into Welado Group Oy, marking a transition from founder-owned independent consultancy to a unit within a larger consulting platform.
