Vigilia

What Vigilia does

Vigilia IT Security BV is a privately held Dutch cybersecurity company founded in 2019, headquartered in Ridderkerk with an operational address in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, Netherlands. The company targets small and medium-sized businesses (MKB) and institutions primarily in the South Holland region — covering Dordrecht, Rotterdam, Europoort, and Den Haag — and positions itself as a 100% Dutch firm operating under Dutch and European law, with ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 hosting and GDPR/AVG compliance as core trust signals.

Its central offering is CyberSterk, a subscription-based managed security monitoring platform consisting of five integrated components: network intrusion detection (Inbraakdetectie), weekly network vulnerability scanning, weekly website vulnerability scanning, phishing simulations, and a customer dashboard (MyCyberAlarm). The service is delivered through a tamperproof physical CyberSterk Box installed on the customer premises, which monitors network traffic, sends encrypted metadata to the cloud every five minutes via a heartbeat, and runs nightly historical analysis against six months of retained metadata and current threat intelligence. CyberSterk was originally developed by SIDN, transferred to Guardian360 on April 1, 2021, and is now resold and implemented by Vigilia as a selected partner, with platform technology also incorporating SecureMe2 capabilities. Adjacent services include a subscription-based Pentest Abonnement, Phishing as a Service, IT Security Advies consulting, and various standalone scanning offerings.

Commercially, Vigilia runs a sales-led go-to-market with a 2-week free trial placement of the CyberSterk Box as the primary conversion mechanism, supported by direct phone (085-7921444), email, and website inquiry channels. Revenue is generated through recurring CyberSterk subscriptions billed annually, supplemented by professional services from consulting and pentesting engagements. No revenue, funding rounds, parent company, or named leadership are disclosed in the source materials, and the company operates with a headcount of 1-10 employees.

• Guardian360: Guardian360 is the owner of the CyberSterk platform that Vigilia resells and implements. It also competes in the Dutch SMB cybersecurity market with vulnerability scanning and monitoring, making it both Vigilia's principal technology partner and a direct market peer.
• Computest: Computest is a Dutch cybersecurity company focused on penetration testing, security monitoring, and managed security services. Its managed security and pentest portfolio directly mirrors Vigilia's CyberSterk + Pentest Abonnement combination.
• Secura: Secura is a Dutch cybersecurity services firm offering penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and compliance advisory. Strong overlap with Vigilia's pentest subscription and kwetsbaarheid scanning offerings.
• Northwave: Northwave is a Dutch managed security services provider offering SOC, vulnerability management, and security consulting to mid-market and enterprise — directly comparable to Vigilia's managed CyberSterk offering and pentest portfolio, but at larger scale.

Emerging players

• Hadrian: Hadrian is an emerging attack-surface and vulnerability management platform with continuous scanning and asset discovery. Comparable to CyberSterk's external scanning component but with a SaaS-first, automated delivery model rather than Vigilia's on-premise box.

Broad incumbents
