What tien security does

Tien Security is a Dutch managed cybersecurity service provider founded in 2016 and headquartered in Mijdrecht, Netherlands. The company delivers subscription-based endpoint, mobile, and email protection to Dutch ZZP (self-employed professionals) and MKB (small and medium businesses, typically 5-250 employees), with its operating geography confined to the Netherlands. Its core platform is built around AI-driven endpoint detection and response (EDR), attachment sandboxing, URL rewriting, and AI-assisted phishing detection, with integrations into Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Dropbox. The platform is delivered alongside a 100% Dutch-based 24/7 SOC with claimed sub-5-minute critical incident response, and the company is ISO 27001 certified via DigiTrust. Modules include endpoint security, mobile security, email security, SOC monitoring, vulnerability scanning, and security awareness training (delivered in partnership with Guardey).

The product is packaged in three subscription tiers: Computer Veilig at €10 per user per month, Combi Veilig at €18, and Compleet Veilig at €28, with optional add-ons and volume discounts. Go-to-market is product-led, with a public online pricing calculator, 14-day free trial, and inside-sales support rather than a traditional enterprise sales motion. The company claims between 50+ and 500+ protected businesses (depending on source) and a 4.3/5 Trustpilot rating, while operating with a small team of 1-10 employees. No funding rounds, M&A activity, or institutional investors are disclosed.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• CrowdStrike: CrowdStrike is a global endpoint security leader that has expanded down-market with Falcon Go for SMBs. It operates as a broad incumbent whose SMB entry threatens Tien Security's niche via bundled, AI-driven EDR at scale.
• Fox-IT (Part of NCC Group): Fox-IT is a Dutch-rooted cybersecurity firm offering managed detection, response, and high-end cyber defense. A broader incumbent in the same Dutch market, overlapping with Tien Security in SOC and incident response.
• Orange Cyberdefense: Orange Cyberdefense is a large European MSSP/MDR operator with a Dutch presence, providing 24/7 SOC and managed detection services—a broader-scale incumbent in the same managed-security-for-business segment as Tien Security.
• Microsoft (Defender for Business): Microsoft Defender for Business delivers bundled endpoint and EDR protection to M365 business subscribers at effectively near-zero marginal cost—representing the dominant "free-with-the-platform" incumbent pressure on Dutch SMB MSSPs like Tien Security.

Direct peers

• Huntress: Huntress is an MDR pure-play purpose-built for SMBs and MSPs, offering 24/7 SOC, EDR, and managed security awareness. Tien Security's SMB-focused, 24/7-SOC, subscription-driven approach overlaps almost one-for-one.
• WatchGuard: WatchGuard provides unified network and endpoint security purpose-built for SMBs and distributed enterprises through the MSP channel—overlapping with Tien Security's managed, subscription-security-for-SMB positioning.
• Sophos: Sophos sells managed endpoint (EDR/XDR) plus synchronized network security aimed squarely at SMBs, with MSP-delivered service. Highly comparable to Tien Security's combined endpoint/mobile/email/SOC delivery model.
• Bitdefender: Bitdefender's SMB line bundles AI-driven endpoint protection with GravityZone consoles, and it is widely resold by European MSPs—a direct alternative to Tien Security for Dutch SMB customers buying managed security.
• ESET: ESET is a globally established endpoint security vendor with strong presence in the European SMB market and packaged subscription tiers for small business protection—directly comparable to Tien Security's endpoint-led, subscription-based offering for Dutch SMBs.

Emerging players

• KnowBe4: KnowBe4 is the dominant standalone platform for security awareness training and phishing simulations—a directly overlapping capability to Tien Security's Guardey-powered awareness offering and a plausible competitor inside that module.
