DIESEC OY – Your New Cybersecurity Partner In The Nordics

Is your company based in the Nordics? Do you need help testing, improving, and managing your cybersecurity? If so, we’ve got good news for you – DIESEC is branching out into the Nordics in 2025. From the first of January we are ready to be your cybersecurity partner in the Nordics.

Based out of Rovaniemi, Finland, DIESEC’s experts can assist your organisation in analysing and responding to cybersecurity threats based on your industry, risk, and budget.

Our Nordic branch will service Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Iceland.

In this article, we’ll give you a rundown of DIESEC’s services, including Penetration Testing, SOC as a service, Phishing Simulations, and other services we’ll be offering in the future.

DIESEC’s Core Services

Whether your organisation needs help implementing new systems, improving employee knowledge of cyber threats, or implementing new strategies to comply with the latest European Union legislation, DIESEC has you covered.

DIESEC’s core services cover a wide range of real-world problems, offering protection and guidance surrounding areas, such as phishing scams, the introduction of new directives, and security vulnerabilities.

Below, we’ll discuss the core DIESEC services that could be valuable to your company, starting with Penetration Testing.

Penetration Testing

DIESEC’s Penetration Testing service is a comprehensive security test that analyses and tests the security capabilities of an organisation’s systems. At DIESEC, we test individual computers, servers, networks of any size, and web applications.

We use three types of penetration testing: black box, grey box, and white Box. The duration of a penetration test ranges from days to weeks.

Through this service, we can exploit the security vulnerabilities in existing system(s) without authorisation. This is important for companies of any size or industry because it provides valuable information about security vulnerabilities.

These vulnerabilities can lead to data breaches and theft if left undetected and unresolved. Furthermore, DIESEC’s Penetration Testing also determines how your existing infrastructure reacts to potential attacks.

Our specialists’ final reports will provide you with clear results, the exact areas for improvement, and guidance on what to do next.

SOC As A Service

Another core service we offer is SOC as a Service. For those who don’t know, SOC stands for Security Operations Center. A SOC serves as an information hub for organisations.

It collects real-time data from networks, servers, endpoints, and other digital assets, using highly reliable automation to detect, prioritise, and respond to potential cybersecurity threats. A SOC as a Service, or SOCaaS as many people call it, is a third-party provider that manages and monitors an organisation’s SOC for them.

This includes all the security functions an in-house SOC performs, 24/7 support, and responsibility for the processes and technology required to deliver the service. Using DIESEC to manage your SOC has several key benefits.

SOCaaS by DIESEC offers faster detection and remediation, faster scaling, 24/7 coverage, staff training, and a more cost-effective approach to SOC.

Phishing Simulations

A 2024 report revealed that phishing is the most common form of cybercrime, with an estimated 3.4 billion spam emails sent daily. With the complexity of phishing scams increasing and threat actors using advanced AI technologies, this figure could grow.

With that in mind, now is the time to ensure your company and its employees know how to spot, avoid, report, and deal with phishing attacks. That’s where we come in.

DIESEC’s Phishing Simulations provide the perfect tool to test your company’s susceptibility to these scams and raise your employees’ awareness of the potential threats.

Our simulated phishing emails are sent to your team, taking note whenever a user clicks on a link, enters information, or reports an email as a phishing attempt. The more employees you can expose to this simulation, the less chance a genuine email phishing attempt will negatively impact your organisation.

DIESEC Academy

Organisations that sign up for DIESEC Phishing Simulations are also granted access to the DIESEC Information Security Awareness Academy, our online information security awareness training centre.

It’s designed to provide users, whether cybersecurity bosses or company employees, quick, fun, and interactive training.

Most lessons are less than 10 minutes long, but they help users improve their knowledge regarding phishing scams and other real-world cyber threats.

Lessons are available in various languages, the content is up-to-date, new lessons are added regularly, and participants receive an online certificate upon completion.

GRC Consulting

GRC Consulting is another key service we offer at DIESEC. GRC stands for Governance, Risk, and Compliance. It’s a supervised approach to aligning IT with strategic business goals while ensuring compliance with legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations.

In a world that relies heavily on technology, the integrity of your IT systems plays a huge role in your company’s success. Our range of GRC services helps strengthen your organisation using specialised solutions and flexible, adaptable, and reliable support.

The experts at DIESEC will help you develop robust governance that provides a clear direction. They will also identify existing and potential risks, offer solutions to prevent reputational damage and losses and manage your compliance to meet the relevant legal, regulatory, and contractual requirements.

Furthermore, DIESEC’s consultants are ready to help you prepare for and comply with the latest NIS2 directive, which aims to enhance cybersecurity across the European Union. We’ll also help you implement ISO27001, an international standard to manage information security through regular audits and testing.

Future Services

As DIESEC continues to grow and expand into the Nordic market, you can expect to see more services and offerings. In particular, we aim to offer whistleblowing services to organisations and companies in the Nordics in the not-too-distant future.

Whistleblowing allows employees and third parties to report inappropriate or improper behaviour of an employee that could impact the general public. Examples of this include environmental damage, hiding a wrongdoing, fraud, or poor health and safety standards.

However, setting up and managing a whistleblowing platform can be time-consuming and costly.

Using DIESEC’s managed whistleblowing service provides organisations with an extra level of security in a fraction of the time. As a third party, we can’t be influenced, and whistleblowers can come forward without fear of repercussions.
