Our impact & ESG

Our impact

Our goal is to protect our customers against cybercrime and ensure their resilience. We contribute to a safer society by detecting and responding to cyber-attacks and continuously investing in our human and technological capabilities to drive innovation and service delivery excellence.

We are a part of Allurity AB, a group of world-class cybersecurity players operating in a decentralized model, whose joint mission is to enable a safe digital world. Allurity aims to be the leading European platform of tech-enabled cybersecurity service providers. CSIS is one of the independent operating companies within Allurity.

Allurity was formed (in October 2021) by Trill Impact, with a vision to create a leading European cybersecurity group and make a significant, lasting impact. Trill Impact is a pioneering Impact House that invests in businesses with the potential to accelerate their positive impact on people and the planet, covering all 17 of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

One of Trill Impact’s focus areas is Cyber Security, through which it addresses SDGs 4, 9 and 16.

Being part of Allurity, we believe that CSIS will accelerate its positive impact significantly.

There is a strong need for talent within cybersecurity, and we want to contribute to reducing the barriers that may exist regarding gender imbalance. To this end, we cooperate with Girls in IT, which is a network for women who are studying IT or who work in IT, and whose purpose is to support them in their IT-career. We regularly hold workshops with Girls in IT, and they have also been invited to present out our annual conference (‘Cyberhagen’) to raise visibility and stimulate dialogue on the topic.

We have also established a partnership with the organization Happy 42 and Cyberskills to develop the initiative Women in Security. The purpose of the initiative is to build a community of women within the security space. Several of our own talented female employees contribute as speakers at the events.

There is a need to strengthen the talent pipeline in cybersecurity. Cyberskills is an organization that aims to create awareness and interest in cybersecurity through various events, such as CTFs, training, company visits, targeting young people before they choose their educational or career path. Cyberskills has presented at our annual conference, and we have held a joint workshop for students. We have also run a joint CTF with Cyberskills.

CSIS organizes and hosts the annual Copenhagen CyberCrime Conference (‘Cyberhagen’), widely regarded as the leading Nordic thought leadership event in this space, to increase awareness, stimulate dialogue, share insights and experiences, and ultimately help organizations and individuals become more resilient and secure. The event gathers in excess of 250 people from across the cybersecurity ecosystem.

We collaborate with universities and educational institutions in Denmark. We do that by giving guest presentations, facilitating internships for students, supporting thesis and research projects.

CSIS helps facilitate an increasingly popular executive-level cybersecurity network via the Educational Center JUC. At these network meetings, executives share and learn about cyber threats in a trusted environment.

Our employees frequently share their expertise in various public settings. This could be as subject matter experts on television news, as guest speakers at conferences, members of advisory boards, and more.

Every year, CSIS donates in support of a cause that we find important. The fight against cancer has been a regular example.

CSIS has engaged in an important partnership with the Cyber Information Security Leader (CISL) -program. We are committed to contributing to the development of strong leaders in security in general, because we know that leaders have a key role to play in leading their organizations safely through the challenges of digitalisation.

Our CEO, Daniel Shepherd shares his knowledge through the CISL program as guest speaker.

Empowering and involving our employees

We appoint employee representatives to form part of our Board of Directors. By actively listening to the voices of our employees, we strive to make better leadership decisions, for the benefit of the entire company.

Inclusive workplace and access to talent in cybersecurity

We cooperate with the organization AspIT which helps individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) access the labor market. Through AspIT, we have hired several interns over the years, and some of them are still with us in full-time positions contributing with great value.

Building our own cyber talent pipeline

We invest in building cyber talent. We offer internships for students who need practical experience as part of their studies. We hire students who want to kickstart their career already during their studies. It is a win-win for us, and we can often retain students in fulltime positions.
