What KRONAN Säkerhet AB does

KRONAN Säkerhet AB is a Stockholm-headquartered, privately held security consulting firm established in autumn 2009. It delivers professional services to Swedish government agencies and private enterprises across five lines: interim placement of security chiefs, security protection chiefs, security coordinators and crisis leaders; customized security training and crisis exercises (tabletop through advanced command exercises); internal and external investigations covering suspected irregularities and threat-and-violence situations; a 24/7 security on-call hotline; and the 365Robust methodology platform packaging the proprietary "De Sju Stegen" (The Seven Steps) framework used by Swedish banks, the police and Svensk Handel for identity verification, payment card and banknote control. The firm's core intellectual property is the combination of senior practitioner expertise and authored industry-standard methodologies rather than a software product.

The business is operated by a roster of six named professionals — two founders (Stefan Kinert, Lars Zetterström), three partners (Richard Buske, Ola Jörgensen, Patrik Ripadal) and four senior consultants — delivering customized advisory and interim management engagements. Revenue mechanics are professional services-based, combining project-based consulting and retainers, with quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed rates; no funded capital structure is indicated (no funding rounds, parent, subsidiaries, or M&A activity). Go-to-market is sales-led via the kronan.eu website, direct outreach, and account-based engagement for larger enterprise and government buyers, supported by thought leadership through the firm's authorship of reference handbooks (Livsmedelsverket's security handbook, Svenska Bankföreningen's "De Sju Stegen"). A long-standing strategic partnership with Företagsuniversitetet positions the firm to coordinate the Security Manager education program and to deliver the Crisis Leadership curriculum that it developed.

Commercial activity is concentrated in Sweden with named reference customers spanning food safety regulation (Livsmedelsverket), banking (Svenska Bankföreningen), insurance (Skandia), facility management (Coor), real estate (Nordstan), education (Handelshögskolan) and exhibitions (Stockholmsmässan). A leadership transition is planned for 2026 under which the three partners will assume ownership and operating control from the founders. No patents, certifications, regulatory actions, M&A, product launches, or geographic expansion beyond Stockholm are recorded in the available data.

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• ISS A/S: Danish facility-services company with a security services line covering guarding, security consulting, and risk advisory globally. Comparable to KRONAN in security consulting scope, though delivered as part of an integrated facility-management contract portfolio rather than as a pure security consultancy.
• Securitas AB: Swedish-founded global security services giant offering guarding, electronic security, and risk consulting across 40+ markets. KRONAN's interim security chief, training, and investigation offerings sit inside Securitas' broader risk-consulting and security services portfolio, making it the most relevant incumbent benchmark from the same domestic market.
• Falck Security Services: Nordic-origin security and emergency-response services group providing guarding, security consulting, and risk advisory across Scandinavia. Comparable to KRONAN's consulting and on-call offering but at much broader scale and as part of a wider emergency-services portfolio.

Direct peers

• Pinkerton: Long-established corporate security and investigations firm providing consulting, threat management, background checks, and security training. Comparable to KRONAN across investigations, security consulting, and advisory engagements.
• Kroll: Global risk consultancy with deep investigations, security advisory, and crisis-management practices serving corporate and government clients. Comparable to KRONAN's interim security chief and investigation offerings at the premium consulting tier.
• Control Risks: Global specialist risk consultancy delivering security advisory, investigations, crisis response, and training to corporates and governments. Closely comparable to KRONAN's interim security leadership, investigation, and crisis-exercise offerings at international scale.

Regional players

• Coor Service Management: Swedish-headquartered facility management provider; a documented KRONAN reference customer. Comparable as a Swedish enterprise buyer and integrator of security services, illustrating the broader vendor ecosystem in which KRONAN operates.
• SOS International: Nordic assistance and security services group operating across Scandinavia, providing 24/7 security hotlines, alarm response, and travel security. Closely comparable to KRONAN's 'Säkerhetsjour' 24/7 on-call hotline service within the same Nordic region.
• Nokas Security: Nordic security services company offering guarding, cash handling, and security consulting across Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. Comparable as a Nordic regional peer competing for the same Swedish and Scandinavian enterprise security budgets as KRONAN.
• Avarn Security: Nordic security services provider operating across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark with guarding, security consulting, and technology services. Directly comparable to KRONAN's consulting and on-call services within the same Nordic security market, although at significantly larger scale.
