What Garda Technologies, LLC does

Garda Technologies, LLC (OOO «Garda Tekhnologii» / Гарда Технологии) is a Russian enterprise cybersecurity vendor founded in 2018 and headquartered in Moscow (Leningradsky Prospekt 39, SkyLight Business Center), with an engineering and R&D center in Nizhny Novgorod (Gagarin Avenue 50, Black Pearl Business Center). The company employs approximately 119 people and operates as a private Russian limited liability company focused exclusively on the domestic market.

The company's product portfolio is organized into two pillars — data protection and network security — delivered as a modular ecosystem rather than a single unified platform. Data protection offerings include Garda DBF (database firewall), Garda DLP (data loss prevention, currently at version 6.5), Garda DCAP (unstructured data protection), and Garda Data Masking (anonymization). Network security offerings include Garda NDR (network detection and response with machine learning–based anomaly detection), Garda WAF (web application firewall), Garda Deception (deception technology/honeypots), Garda DDoS Protection, and Garda Threat Intelligence feeds. The company supplements its software with expert services such as penetration testing, security consulting, and incident investigation.

Garda Technologies sells primarily through direct enterprise sales and a partner/reseller program, targeting heavily regulated Russian verticals: banking and financial institutions (Sberbank, VTB, BSP Bank, NS Bank, Expo Bank, MKB, Central Bank of Russia), government and state enterprises (Ministry of Finance of Russia, VGTRK Gosteleradiofond, Goznak, Russian Post), telecommunications (Megafon, MTS, Rostelecom, Akado), and selected industrial and retail accounts (MMK, Magnit, SberStrakh, Sinara). Revenue is generated through enterprise software licenses and subscriptions combined with professional services; pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are quote-based. The company's commercial web presence (garda.ai) and supporting technical portal (gardatech.ru) are entirely Russian-language, reinforcing the domestic-only geographic footprint.
