About us

Why Secundra exists

Secundra was founded in 2025 with one idea in mind, every organisation deserves honest cybersecurity. Including the smaller, often overlooked SMEs and non profits.

Our story

Founded in 2025, driven by experience

Secundra was founded in July 2025. We noticed that most cybersecurity vendors focus on large enterprises, leaving SMEs and non profits in the cold.

Our goal is simple, to build an affordable and transparent formula that brings real peace of mind to smaller organisations. No oversized contracts, no hidden costs.

As a team we combine experience in infrastructure management, security operations and project delivery. What you get is a partner that is technically capable and humanly approachable.

Our values

What we stand for

Values are not marketing copy to us. They shape how we write contracts, how we advise and how we support you when things get difficult.

Transparency

Clear contracts, straightforward reporting and no fine print. You always know what you get.

Honest advice

We only sell what you actually need. Independent, never driven by commissions.

Pragmatic solutions

The simplest thing that works is usually the best. Solutions tuned to the reality of smaller organisations.

Open source where possible

Technology agnostic with a preference for open source, so you stay the owner of your environment.

Maintenance over selling

We prefer long term relationships over one off deals. Continuity is our most important KPI.

The team

Two partners, two complementary profiles

At Secundra you do not deal with rotating account managers. You talk to the people who also make the technical and strategic calls. Together we cover the full breadth of cybersecurity, from hardware and networking to compliance and governance.

Core value

Loyalty and respect as our foundation

Secundra is built on one clear principle. We trust each other, we back each other and we treat each other with genuine respect. That way of working together is not a marketing slogan, it is what you as a client receive from us directly. Loyalty internally means loyalty towards our clients, without exception.

We back each other

No divide and conquer, no internal games. Whoever you speak to, you get the same message.

We decide together

Important choices are always made by both of us, honestly and transparently, also when it is hard.

We speak one word

What we agree on internally, we honour externally. One promise, no fine print.

Without egos

There is no boss and no subordinate. Two partners who genuinely respect each other's expertise.
