Öruggt Net ehf, your cybersecurity preventative solution

Welcome to the home of Öruggt Net (Secured Network). We are a small cybersecurity consultant company in Garðabær, Iceland. Our focus is advising Icelandic companies and helping them with their cybersecurity challenges. We specialize in preventive measures. As the saying goes, it’s best to close the barn door before the horses get out. For example, we can evaluate your current security posture, establish a cybersecurity lifecycle, review your cybersecurity tools, and formulate an action plan to harden your environment. We can even help you execute that plan if needed. Vulnerability Management and continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) are some of the best ways to accomplish this. We have a lot of experience with Vulnerability Management Programs and would love to help you establish yours. With a great Vulnerability Management Program in place, you gain confidence in your security posture and enjoy increased security resiliency.

The main foundation of a good cybersecurity lifecycle is having all the right tools, policies, and procedures in place. We can audit how strong your security foundation is and make recommendations on how to improve it. Certainly, if you need help with implementation, we can handle that as well.

How we can help

Are you looking to obtain any certifications? For example, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001:2022, NIST? Or are you worried about compliance with NIS, NIS-2, or DORA requirements from the European Union or Icelandic Law? Let us work with you to ensure your full compliance. Then, we can help you obtain your desired certifications as well as shore up your cybersecurity foundation.

Worried about becoming the latest cybersecurity breach news item? We can review your threat matrix and exposure and help you formulate a plan to shore up your defenses. If desired, we’ll even help you implement said plan.

Just need help deciding which tool is best for your environment or advice on selecting the best vendor for your needs? We have a lot of experience in this area and would be happy to help.

If you don’t already have a strong vulnerability management program or a continuous threat exposure management program, we strongly recommend starting with that.

Cybersecurity Background

Our founder has been in the computer business since the dawn of personal computers, so he has a lot of experience from which you can benefit. He started going online as a teenager in the 1980s. However, there were no web browsers available until 1993, when Mosaic was developed as a college project. Mosaic became the first commercially available browser, Netscape Navigator, in December 1994.

Our founder completed a BS in Computer Engineering in 1994 and an MS in Cybersecurity and information assurance in 2019. You can read more about the adventures of our founder on our About Us page, and our founder’s qualifications can be found on the Qualifications and Credentials page.

After completing his master’s degree, he wrote a book on how the public can stay safe online; you can find out more about that on the Book page.
