What Seadot Cybersecurity does

Seadot Cybersecurity (operating as Securance) is a European cybersecurity, assurance, and advisory firm founded in 2019 and headquartered in Uppsala, Sweden. The firm serves 800+ professional firms and small-to-medium enterprises that need to demonstrate governance, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance to enterprise clients and regulators. Its portfolio is organized into three service lines: Advisory (NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, CISO-as-a-service, and AI security and compliance), Assurance (ISAE 3000, ISAE 3402, SOC 1, SOC 2, and ISO audits), and Cybersecurity (network and application penetration testing, ransomware vulnerability analysis, Red Teaming, cloud security assessments, phishing testing, and cyber risk mapping). The firm differentiates through a 'Simple Audit, Multiple Standards' methodology that consolidates multiple compliance frameworks into a single engagement.

The business operates a sales-led, professional services model with quote-based engagements and a free initial consultation as the primary conversion mechanism. Revenue is generated through advisory projects, recurring audit and attestation cycles, and discrete or subscription cybersecurity engagements. The firm's reported outcomes include €6 billion in client revenue protected, 100,000 jobs protected, a 96% customer satisfaction rate, and a 63% average client revenue increase. Delivery is entirely expert-led; no self-serve product, API, or platform-as-a-service is disclosed.

Seadot/Securance operates across four European countries with wholly-owned offices in Uppsala (Sweden), Utrecht (Netherlands), London (UK), and Berlin (Germany), supported by multilingual websites (Swedish, Dutch, English, German). The company is privately held, with no disclosed funding rounds, investor base, ownership structure, or executive leadership team. Self-positioned as 'Europe's market leader in assurance,' the firm aligns tightly with the European regulatory wave (NIS2, DORA, GDPR, EU AI Act) that is driving compliance demand across its SMB and mid-market target segment.
