About this service

Digital security is the foundation of modern products. We help companies building their own solutions – or securing existing systems – with concrete measures, not just theoretical reports.

We follow recognised frameworks such as OWASP, NIST and ISO 27001, and help Norwegian businesses meet NIS2 and GDPR requirements. Whether you are in early stage or scaling an existing product, we provide concrete, prioritised actions.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is penetration testing?

Penetration testing is a controlled simulation of a hacker attack on a system, website or API to find vulnerabilities before real attackers do. We perform manual and automated testing following OWASP methodology.

How much does a security test for a website cost?

A simple web test often starts from around NOK 20,000, while complex systems with API layers and authentication can cost NOK 50,000–150,000. Contact us for a no-obligation estimate.

What is the NIS2 directive and does it apply in Norway?

NIS2 is the EU's revised cybersecurity directive adopted in 2024 and incorporated into Norwegian law via the EEA agreement. It sets stricter requirements for risk management, incident reporting and supplier security in critical sectors.

What is the difference between GDPR compliance and ISO 27001?

GDPR is a legal requirement for personal data processing in the EU/EEA. ISO 27001 is a voluntary international standard for information security management systems. Many organisations use ISO 27001 as a framework to meet GDPR requirements.
