Uncertain times, an increasing number of cyberattacks, and stricter digital regulations have led Sicra and the law firm Thommessen to enter into a strategic partnership to provide Norwegian organizations with comprehensive support in cybersecurity, compliance, and digital risk.
Sicra and the law firm Thommessen enter into a strategic partnership on cybersecurity and compliance
Sicra and the law firm Thommessen are entering into a strategic partnership to provide organizations and executives with stronger tools to address escalating cyber threats and comply with increasingly stringent regulations such as NIS2, DORA, and enhanced data protection requirements.
The collaboration, which tightly integrates cybersecurity and legal advisory services, represents a new model in the Norwegian market. Together, Sicra and Thommessen will help Norwegian organizations manage cybersecurity, regulatory requirements, and digital risk through a holistic framework; technical, operational, and legal. The goal is to reduce the gap between technology, leadership, and regulation – a gap many organizations today struggle to manage safely and efficiently.
– Cybersecurity is no longer just about technology, but about leadership, accountability, and compliance with laws and regulations. Through this partnership, we connect our security triangle – security leadership, monitoring, and expertise – with the country’s leading legal advisory environment. This enables us to provide customers with comprehensive guidance and support on security and compliance, says Stig Valderhaug, CEO of Sicra.
– The partnership with Sicra enables us to meet our clients’ needs in a more comprehensive way. In practice, this means that technical and legal experts now work together to solve the same challenges. Clients benefit from faster decision-making, stronger risk management, and fewer gray areas between law and technology. This is a natural development at a time when cybersecurity has become an executive responsibility, say Christopher Clausen and Espen Werring, who lead Thommessen’s cybersecurity team.
The parties point out that the partnership is a response to growing demand: Norwegian organizations face increasingly complex regulatory and technological requirements and need partners that can cover the full spectrum from strategy and governance to monitoring, incident response, and legal advisory services.
Sicra’s delivery model covers the entire cybersecurity value chain – from strategic security leadership and technical advisory services to 24/7 monitoring and readiness. Through the partnership with Thommessen, legal assessments and compliance with laws and regulations are integrated into this model.
Sicra’s security triangle is built on three mutually reinforcing areas:
-
Security Leadership (CISO – Chief Information Security Officer)
Strategic advisory services, governance, and risk management that anchor security in executive leadership and business objectives.
-
Consulting, Expert, and OT Security Environment (Operational Technology)
Technical and industrial expertise across IT and OT (operational technology), including infrastructure, networks, cybersecurity, and industrial control systems.
-
Operations Center – NOC and SOC
Continuous monitoring, operations, and readiness through a Network Operations Center (network operations) and a Security Operations Center (security monitoring), with 24/7 response capabilities.
