Market & Drivers

The addressed market is characterized by a steadily increasing relevance and demand for cyber security solutions. Next to fundamental growth factors such as the increasing number of end devices and data volumes, the key drivers of the double-digit market growth are the intensifying threat situation and the associated stricter regulations. At the same time, expenditure on prevention and employee training is increasing to proactively prevent the risk of attacks. HvS fulfils these requirements as a quality leader with a unique combination of consulting and awareness solutions.

NORD Holding's contribution

In 2023, the NORD Holding Small Cap Fund acquired a majority stake in HvS. The investment sets the basis for the further expansion of its market positioning and the continuation of the dynamic growth path. Add-on acquisitions may also be included in future plans, especially in specialist disciplines.

We are looking forward to opening the next chapter in our company history together with NORD Holding. The importance of cyber security will continue to grow strongly, so we want to work together to find premium solutions for the intensifying threat situation and stricter regulations.
