Netsec (netsec.net) operates as a specialized managed IT and cybersecurity provider, focusing on delivering strategic technology solutions to support business growth. The firm was established by Gianluca Varisco and Guglielmo Reina, who bring a substantial history from their tenures at Rocket Internet. Gianluca Varisco, the CEO, previously held the position of CISO at Rocket Internet, where he managed IT and cybersecurity for companies with revenues exceeding €2B. His career also includes leading national security for Italy's Digital Transformation Team and serving as a Principal Security Architect at Google Cloud. Guglielmo Reina, the CFO, was part of Rocket Internet's investment team, managing over 30 M&A and funding transactions, and later served as an investor at Global Founders Capital and VP Operations at 468 Capital.
The company's central mission is to make enterprise-level security accessible to organizations of all scales. It targets growing small to medium-sized businesses, particularly in the UK, offering solutions that extend beyond a simple helpdesk to function as a strategic technology partner. The business model is centered on a comprehensive, all-in-one managed services package billed at a predictable monthly cost. This subscription-based service provides clients with enterprise-grade security, on-demand IT support, and strategic consulting. Revenue is generated through these recurring service packages and potentially through individual services like IT procurement and specialized consulting projects.
Netsec's service portfolio is designed to handle every aspect of a client's IT infrastructure, from security and support to strategy and procurement. Key offerings include fully or partially managed IT support, expert consulting for technology planning, and hardware/software procurement through a partner network. The firm also delivers robust cybersecurity services, network installations, and support tailored to specific industry needs, including finance and professional services. This integrated approach allows Netsec to act as a trusted technology partner, embedding its account managers within client operations to provide customized and scalable solutions. They have worked with over 200 companies, supporting more than 40,000 employees and managing over 70,000 devices.
