Stockholm, Sweden

Three security professionals, same frustration. We joined forces and built the platform we always wished existed

Our story

We spent years as security engineers, consultants, and AppSec leads at companies across Europe. Every time we joined a new team, we faced the same problem: fragmented tools, alert fatigue, and security programs built on spreadsheets and hope.

We started Gardera in Stockholm with a simple thesis: application security should be a product, not a project. One platform that covers code, cloud, and compliance. Context-aware. AI-powered. Built for the teams who actually have to ship.

Security should be invisible

Security has always been a bottleneck, even more so in the AI era. We build tools that protect without getting in the way.

Built by practitioners

Every feature comes from real pain we've felt. No theoretical frameworks, just what actually works.

European DNA

Based in Stockholm, built in the EU. Privacy-first, GDPR-native, and proud of it.

The team

Security people building security tools. We've been on both sides of the audit table.
