What Sidio does

Sidio (SIDIO sp. z o.o.) is a privately held Polish cybersecurity systems integrator founded in 2017 and headquartered in Warsaw at al. Jerozolimskie 100. The company delivers consulting, implementation, configuration, and maintenance services for enterprise IT security solutions across email protection, network edge protection, endpoint and server protection, security incident detection and response, privileged access management (PAM), data and intellectual property protection, web application protection, SIEM monitoring, NAC access control, and DDoS protection. Sidio partners with a broad portfolio of global security vendors, with Core-tier relationships at Proofpoint (recognized as Proofpoint Partner of the Year 2020 Poland), Fortinet, and Palo Alto Networks, alongside alliances with CrowdStrike, Radware, Wallix, Greycortex, Vectra, Cynet, Broadcom, Extreme Networks, and ObserveIT. Its named enterprise clients include Deutsche Bank, Bank PKO BP, Telewizja Polska, and Bonduelle.

The company's differentiated platform is SIDIOLabs, a separated virtual machine infrastructure that logically replicates production networks and key components (firewalls, mail gateways, email servers, LDAP/AD servers, Windows and Linux workstations), enabling clients to evaluate and test security products via 14-day pre-configured VPN access without affecting production environments. SIDIOLabs supports proof-of-concept testing, training, and pre-deployment validation of products from Sidio's vendor partners. The business is co-founded and led by Sławomir Kobus (Managing Director) and Adam Kuligowski (technology direction, partner relations, and SIDIOLabs development), both certified across multiple enterprise security platforms.

Sidio operates a pure professional services revenue model, with fees derived from consulting engagements, technical implementations, configuration, training and workshops, and ongoing maintenance. Distribution is regional (Poland) and direct, supplemented by partner-reseller channels through its vendor ecosystem. The company is founder-owned and bootstrapped, with no external institutional investment disclosed, and operates with a small 1-10 person team. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; client engagement is initiated via direct contact ([email protected], phone 883 561 234).
