Gorilla Capital Fund III has made its 34th investment in Nordic Information Control

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.”
