Excem Grupo 1971

What Excem Grupo 1971 does

Excem Grupo 1971 S.A. is a privately held, family-owned Spanish holding company founded in 1971, headquartered in Alcobendas (Madrid), operating primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiary Excem Technologies. Excem Technologies delivers integrated security solutions across four practice areas: Defensa y Seguridad Nacional, Ciberseguridad Avanzada (including auditing and penetration testing), Protección de Infraestructuras Críticas, and Ingeniería e Innovación. The company's core end-customers are Spanish public-sector buyers — notably AENA (airports), ADIF (AVE high-speed rail), AEAT (customs), Guardia Civil, Policía Nacional, Mossos d'Esquadra, Ertzaintza, Ministerio del Interior, Ministerio de Defensa, and Puertos del Estado — supplemented by a smaller set of enterprise clients in telecoms (Telefónica, Orange España, Yoigo), infrastructure (ACCIONA) and construction (Dragados), plus the Gobierno de Andorra.

The technology stack spans proprietary platforms and third-party integrations. The flagship proprietary asset is CÍCLOPE (SGCI), a centralized management system that ingests and analyzes images from non-intrusive inspection (NII) equipment and was purpose-built for AEAT customs; supporting solutions include MEGAPORT maintenance and parcel-scanner installations, EDS SDT3 hold-baggage inspection and EDS CB cabin-baggage tomographic screening for AENA, and AEAT's security framework at the ports of Bilbao, Vigo and Las Palmas based on Nuctech NM&RT-series mobile scanners integrated via a technology partnership with Nuctech. Cybersecurity delivery encompasses managed security services, advanced SIEM monitoring and pentesting engagements.

The business model combines government hardware sales under multi-year framework agreements, managed security services (monitoring, threat detection, incident response), and professional services (auditing, penetration testing, consulting). Pricing is opaque and quote-based, governed by Spanish public tendering processes; the largest disclosed reference is the €67M+ AENA contract covering EDS equipment renewal across 19 airports over 4 years. Distribution is a hybrid of direct enterprise/government sales via phone, email ([email protected]) and a contact form on excemtech.com, and formal procurement through public tenders; no external funding rounds, M&A, or stock exchange listing are disclosed.
