Wise Security Global

What Wise Security Global does

Wise Security Global S.L. is the specialized cybersecurity business unit of Var Group SPA (itself part of Grupo SeSa, ultimately controlled by Euronext STAR Milano-listed Sesa S.p.A.). Headquartered in Bilbao, Spain, the firm operates from Var Group's €909M, 4,463-employee platform across 16 countries, delivering cybersecurity services under a "trust and security" umbrella that fuses decentralized digital identity with managed detection and response, offensive security, and governance, risk, and compliance.

Its product stack centers on DefinitiveID®, a blockchain-based self-sovereign identity solution recognized by Gartner as a standout international provider in decentralized digital identity, supported by a Blockchain Stamper integrity layer. The Digital Evidence suite (MEE The Cyber Notary, U Signer, U Invoicer) provides electronic signature and certified notification workflows. Wise CSOC delivers managed detection and response through a Follow-the-Sun model with SOCs in Thailand, Europe (Spain and Italy), and Mexico, providing 24×7×365 coverage. Wise CISOaaS supplies governance, risk, and compliance plus virtual CISO capacity, while Offensive Cybersecurity offers ethical hacking and penetration testing. AI and machine learning augment detection through behavioral anomaly analysis.

The company generates revenue through recurring managed security subscriptions (Wise CSOC, Wise CISOaaS), licensing and managed services for digital identity and blockchain solutions (DefinitiveID®, Blockchain Stamper), SaaS-style digital evidence subscriptions (MEE, U Signer, U Invoicer), and project-based professional services including pentesting, vulnerability assessment, and regulatory compliance engagements. Pricing is quote-based and tailored rather than publicly disclosed. Distribution is enterprise-direct, leveraging Var Group's customer relationships across Spain and Europe, with the firm serving named customers including Avatel Telecom, Cofares, Helvetia, Andbank (used by over 100 financial firms), Alvic, HomeServe, ISPD, Cádiz CF, and the Cartera Digital de Andorra government initiative.
