Ten years ago, cybercriminals chased banks and big tech. Today, they chase anyone holding financial data, and small businesses hold plenty of it. Payroll runs. Tax filings. Client ledgers. A ten-person bookkeeping firm sits on the same kind of data as a multinational's finance department. Attackers already know this. It's time everyone else did too.

Size doesn't buy safety anymore

For years, cybersecurity sounded like someone else's problem, a concern for banks, telecoms, governments. That assumption never fully held. Today it doesn't hold at all.

Automated scanning tools probe thousands of systems a day, hunting for the same handful of weaknesses wherever they show up. They don't check company size first. A small accounting firm running unpatched software is just as visible to them as a listed enterprise.

For Europe's accountants, bookkeepers, and small business owners, that changes the calculation. The software you run every day — payroll, invoicing, accounting — isn't just a productivity tool anymore. It's part of your security.

Security that works quietly, not loudly

Good security doesn't ask a small business owner to become a security expert. It doesn't slow down the invoice you're sending or the payroll you're processing. It works in the background patch by patch, update by update, so the people using the software can focus on their business, not their firewall.

That's the standard we hold ourselves to across Visma.

Mission-critical, every day, in every market

Mission-critical software has to be secure. Every day. In every market. Most software companies carry that alone — product by product, market by market. Visma companies don't.

Visma Group spans multiple software companies across 28 European markets: e-conomic, Dinero, Holded, Nmbrs, and many others. Each serves its own local market, in its own language, under its own brand. All of them sit inside one security program, built once and shared by every company in the group.

When a vulnerability is found in one product, it doesn't stay local. Once it's identified and fixed, the fix — and the lesson behind it — moves across the Group, hardening other products before the same issue can reach them.

Behind that program sits our own security operations centre awake around the clock, from Europe to Latin America. It watches every system, every day, for every company in the group.

3.6M cloud assets watched 24/7

6.0M dependency security findings closed across the portfolio - running near 5,700 a day

Hours not weeks - how fast serious threats are contained

“In a federated environment, a security vulnerability discovered within a single software product could easily be treated as an isolated, localised event. But when governed through an integrated security framework - where central risk teams operate as the "roadies" setting up the stage so local product teams can perform as the "rockstars" - an incident in one market becomes collective intelligence for all others.”

Lars Martin Ottersen, Chief Risk Officer, Visma

What this means for the customer

If you run payroll through Nmbrs, send invoices through e-conomic, or manage your books through Dinero or Holded, the same security program sits behind all of them: continuous monitoring, fast and transparent incident response, and shared intelligence across the Group instead of isolated fixes in isolated products.

Real security isn't about reacting well on the worst day. It's about building the ordinary days so well that the worst day rarely comes.

Security, built in, not bolted on. So whichever Visma company you choose, this is the security standing behind it.
