Nordic Information Control (NIC) is a Swedish SaaS company tackling one of the fastest-growing challenges for organizations today: keeping control of their information in the face of rising cyber threats and tightening regulations such as NIS2, DORA, GDPR, and the AI Act.
Organizations across industries are drowning in unstructured and often invisible “dark data.” This creates both major security vulnerabilities and unnecessary costs. NIC’s platform addresses the issue by automatically mapping and classifying data across an organization’s IT environment, checking it against internal policies and legal requirements, and alerting on any deviations. What has traditionally been a slow, manual, and complex process is now transformed into a streamlined and automated function.
NIC already serves leading players in Swedish healthcare, telecom, the public sector, and manufacturing. The platform helps them cut storage costs by identifying redundant or obsolete data, secure AI deployment by preventing sensitive information from being used in training models, stay compliant with regulations such as NIS2 and DORA through automation, and make system migrations more efficient by showing exactly what data to move, protect, or delete.
“NIC’s challenge is to make something incredibly complex as automated and simple as possible,” says Peter Boström, co-founder and CEO of Nordic Information Control. “From our first contact, Gorilla Capital understood our module-based SaaS model, which allows customers to start small and progressively expand their automation. With their market insight and strategic expertise, we are confident that we have found the ideal partner for our continued growth in the Nordic market.”
Petter Hattenbach, Partner at Gorilla Capital, comments: “NIC’s timing in the market is perfect. New directives are creating entirely new demands for information control, and NIC offers a solution where the customer doesn’t need to be an expert to drastically improve their security and compliance. The fact that they can also demonstrate a clear ROI makes their case exceptionally strong. We are impressed by what the team has achieved with limited resources and see enormous potential for rapid growth in the Nordics.”
