P-Secure

P-Secure is a Danish-developed case management system for automated background checks on applicants, employees, and suppliers. The idea originated in 2022 to assist Danish institutions with potential espionage cases that required screening large amounts of data for researchers and suppliers. This led to the development of a partially automated screening software. The company was founded by Lars Andreasen, a former PET spy chief, who left his position in 2021 to create the P-Secure software solution.

The company offers a platform that allows organizations to conduct their own background checks, which can be tailored to specific business needs and screening categories. The system is designed to streamline the process, allowing administrators to manage multiple simultaneous checks efficiently. P-Secure also provides features for scheduling future and recurring screenings to maintain ongoing security. The platform supports compliance with regulations like GDPR and standards such as HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST, and ISO 27001. For clients who need additional expertise, P-Secure offers a "managed service" in partnership with firms like PwC, allowing companies to outsource parts of the investigation while still managing the automated checks in-house.

P-Secure serves a range of sectors including airports in Denmark and Greenland, research, energy, transportation, finance, telecommunications, and the defense industry. The business model is subscription-based, with the cost depending on the number of screenings conducted. The company emphasizes data security, with all data stored in Denmark.
