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.

So we started Gardera in Stockholm on a thesis that had nothing to do with tooling. The problem was never a shortage of findings. Every team we joined already had far more than it could ever act on. What none of them had was someone to do the work. So we built that someone: an engineer that reads the code, proves what is genuinely exploitable, ignores what is not, and opens the pull request while you sleep.

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.
