Nordic mid-market companies face growing regulatory pressure, rising cyber risk, and limited internal security capacity. ACE MATES bridges that gap — from first assessment to ongoing resilience.
"Vi är inte en leverantör. Vi är partnern som håller dig ansvarig — och skyddad."
Three quick selections. We'll map your situation and tell you exactly where to begin — no jargon, no pressure.
Real Nordic companies. Real pressures. Select the scenario closest to yours and we will show you the path forward.
"Verkliga nordiska företag. Verkliga utmaningar. Välj det scenario som liknar din situation mest."
Tier-1 suppliers across Nordic manufacturing are increasingly required to demonstrate NIS2-aligned security controls before contract renewal. Without documented evidence, you risk losing the business relationship.
Healthcare is the highest-reported sector for cyber incidents in the EU. After a near-miss, boards demand answers — and regulators may follow. You need a fast, credible assessment and a board-ready report within days, not months.
DORA's ICT risk requirements and third-party oversight obligations are converging with NIS2 for many Nordic financial entities. A structured gap analysis and supplier risk framework delivered in weeks — not a year-long programme.
Municipal authorities and public agencies across Sweden, Denmark, and Finland are receiving formal NIS2 scope notifications. With lean IT teams and no security headcount, the obligation feels impossible to meet alone.
Nordic tech investors increasingly require portfolio companies to demonstrate baseline security maturity before closing rounds. A credible security foundation — policies, controls, evidence — built in 4–6 weeks without slowing product delivery.
Operational technology environments in Nordic manufacturing carry unique risk — legacy protocols, air-gap assumptions that no longer hold, and direct production impact if systems are compromised. Passive OT assessment without disruption.
Law firms, accountancies, and consulting groups hold sensitive client data — and auditors are increasingly demanding evidence of technical security controls, not just policy documents. A scoped pentest and remediation report in time for your audit window.
Mid-market organisations across all sectors increasingly need CISO-grade thinking — for board communications, vendor governance, incident response and regulatory liaison — but cannot justify the cost of a permanent hire at that level.
Standard service definitions — so you can compare, scope, and brief internally with confidence.
"Standardiserade tjänstedefinitioner — så att du kan jämföra och ta beslutet med trygghet."
Systematic exploitation testing of your web applications against OWASP Top 10 and beyond — identifying vulnerabilities before attackers do, with remediation guidance mapped to your tech stack.
External and internal network assessment — mapping your attack surface, identifying exploitable paths, and testing your defences under simulated adversary conditions aligned to your sector's threat profile.
REST, GraphQL, and SOAP API security testing — covering authentication flaws, authorisation bypasses, data exposure, and injection vulnerabilities that standard web application tests often miss.
Continuous intelligence gathering across dark web forums, marketplaces, and credential dumps — alerting you when your organisation's data, credentials, or infrastructure appears in threat actor channels before it becomes an incident.
Controlled, realistic phishing campaigns and social engineering scenarios that measure your human attack surface — with coaching interventions and behavioural metrics that demonstrate improvement over time.
Static application security testing combined with manual expert review — finding security defects in your codebase that automated scanners miss, with fix-priority guidance your developers can act on immediately.
A structured, evidence-based approach to cybersecurity governance — mapping control frameworks, quantifying risk exposure, and building audit-ready compliance programmes across NIS2, CRA, GDPR, and ISO 27001.
Behaviour-change programmes that transform your workforce from the largest vulnerability into a genuine line of defence — using AI-powered simulations, role-based learning paths, and measurable culture metrics.
Resilience as a managed capability — not a one-time project. Multi-year programmes integrating prevention, detection, and recovery planning into your operational rhythm, stress-tested through realistic scenario exercises.
Target-state security architecture aligned to Zero Trust principles, privacy-by-design mandates, and your business growth trajectory — covering cloud, on-prem, OT, and hybrid environments.
Structured obligation mapping across overlapping Nordic regulatory frameworks — delivered as a gap analysis, implementation roadmap, and evidence pack your board and regulators can rely on.
Configuration review and risk assessment across AWS, Azure, or GCP environments — identifying misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and exposure risks before they become incidents.
Monitoring and takedown support for domain spoofing, brand impersonation, fake social profiles, and fraudulent app listings that target your customers and erode brand trust.
Continuous discovery and monitoring of your external attack surface — internet-exposed assets, shadow IT, and forgotten infrastructure that attackers will find before your team does.
Three pre-scoped engagements built around real business situations. Fixed scope. Clear deliverables. Business outcomes — not just technical reports.
"Tre förpaketerade uppdrag byggda kring verkliga affärssituationer. Fast omfattning. Tydliga leverabler."
You have a customer-facing web application. You've never tested it. A customer questionnaire or upcoming audit is asking for evidence of security testing. You need results fast, without a multi-month engagement.
You've received a NIS2 notification or your board has asked for a full security review. You need a comprehensive picture of your external exposure — network perimeter, web assets, and active directory — in one scoped engagement.
You have security controls in place. Now you need to know if they actually work under real attack conditions — before an adversary finds out for you. Your board and enterprise customers want real assurance, not checkbox compliance.
Every engagement can become a long-term partnership. Our vCISO service embeds senior security leadership into your organisation — owning strategy, regulation, vendor governance, and board communication — at a fraction of a permanent hire.
"Säkerhetsledarskap på CISO-nivå — utan kostnaden för en heltidsrekrytering."
Your vCISO owns NIS2, CRA, GDPR, and EU AI Act obligations — tracking deadlines, managing evidence, liaising with supervisory authorities on your behalf.
Security risk communicated in business language — investment cases, threat briefings, and incident reports aligned to outcomes your board acts on.
When incidents escalate or audit cycles intensify, your vCISO scales from monthly advisory to full incident command within hours — backed by our 35-specialist team.
Built for the Nordic mid-market — organisations facing enterprise-grade regulation without enterprise-scale security teams. One partner, end-to-end.
"Byggt för nordiska medelstora företag — organisationer som möter regler på enterprisenivå utan en säkerhetsavdelning att matcha."
Honest assessments. No vendor lock-in. Advice in your interest, not ours.
Every engagement led by professionals with real CISO, architect, and compliance delivery experience.
Nordic-based senior leads backed by a 35-specialist team — quality without premium overhead.
NIS2 · CRA · EU AI Act · GDPR — built into every engagement from day one, not added at the end.
