Ziur Industrial Cyber Security Center - Gipuzkoa

What Ziur Industrial Cyber Security Center - Gipuzkoa does

ZIUR Industrial Cyber Security Center - Gipuzkoa is a non-profit foundation (Fundación Ziur) established in 2018 and headquartered in Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain. It operates as the industrial cybersecurity arm of the Gipuzkoa Provincial Council (Diputación Foral de Gipuzkoa) and serves manufacturers and industrial companies in the Basque region, particularly in machine-tool, automotive/mobility, and broader connected-industrial segments facing EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and NIS2 compliance obligations.

Its technical platform is built around three core assets: the ZIUR Zentroa (central advisory function), the Laborategia (Cybersecurity Laboratory equipped for OT/ICS environment simulation and industrial network traffic capture and analysis), and the Behatokia (Cybersecurity Observatory publishing threat intelligence, self-diagnosis tools, and regulatory guidance). Complementing these are add-on modules including the CRA Compliance Acceleration Project (a 3-million-euro initiative evaluating 60-80 connected industrial products per year), the ZIUR Self-Diagnosis tool, a NIS2 Virtual Assistant, a Supply Chain White Paper, and Cybersecurity Culture services. ENS Medium Level certification (valid until 2026) and Bikain 2022 certification (Basque language quality) reinforce its institutional credentials.

ZIUR's business model is fully publicly funded; all advisory, assessment, lab, and training services are delivered at no cost to industrial companies in Gipuzkoa. Go-to-market combines event-driven outreach (the annual Gipuzkoa IndustrySec congress, now in its 6th edition), direct advisory through the Cybersecurity Observatory, workshops, and channel partnerships with regional clusters (AFM, MUBIL, Iraurgi Berritzen) and academic institutions (Mondragon Unibertsitatea, Tecnun, EASO Politeknikoa).

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Ayesa (formerly Ibermática): Spanish IT/OT services and engineering consultancy with industrial cybersecurity offerings, including OT monitoring, ICS security, and regulatory compliance support. A scaled commercial incumbent where ZIUR is a public, regional alternative for the same industrial cybersecurity needs.
• CCN-CERT (Centro Criptológico Nacional): Spain's national government CERT attached to the National Intelligence Centre, providing cybersecurity guidance, incident response, and regulatory frameworks (ENS/NIS). Overlaps with ZIUR's regulatory compliance and advisory mission across public-sector and critical infrastructure.
• Tecnalia Research & Innovation: Large Basque technology research corporation with capabilities spanning industrial cybersecurity, OT testing, and regulatory compliance support for industrial firms. Broader scope than ZIUR but overlapping in the industrial cybersecurity advisory and testing domain within the same regional ecosystem.

Direct peers

• S2 Grupo: Valencia-headquartered Spanish cybersecurity firm specializing in industrial/OT cybersecurity services including managed detection, incident response, and compliance advisory. Closely comparable to ZIUR's industrial cybersecurity services portfolio but as a commercial vendor with national reach rather than a public non-profit.
• INCIBE (Instituto Nacional de Ciberseguridad): Spain's national public cybersecurity institute, also government-funded and tasked with building national cybersecurity capabilities, providing advisory, training, and a CERT. Highly comparable to ZIUR's role as a publicly-funded advisory and training hub, but at national rather than provincial scale.

Emerging players

• Alias Robotics: Basque startup focused on cybersecurity for industrial robots and ROS-based systems, providing assessment tools, vulnerability research, and pen-testing services. Shares ZIUR's OT/ICS cybersecurity focus and Basque regional roots, but operates as a commercial vendor targeting a narrower robotics niche.
