The investment, which follows a €2.7 million round just 10 months ago, will fuel P-Secure’s European expansion, starting with Germany and Austria, as it targets public sector and critical infrastructure clients.

Michael Holm, who built Systematic into a global defense and healthcare IT leader, brings decades of experience in scaling businesses internationally.

“Michael represents something unique. He’s built a global company from scratch, and his insights on scaling and market entry will be invaluable as we navigate our next phase of growth.”

says Lars Andreasen, CEO and co-founder of P-Secure

P-Secure’s AI-driven platform automates background checks for employees and suppliers, streamlining a process traditionally bogged down by manual workflows and paperwork. The company, founded in 2022 by former PET (Danish Security and Intelligence Service) officers, already serves nearly 100 businesses and authorities, including Copenhagen Airport, SAS, DSV, DHL, and PostNord.

In 2025 alone, its solution facilitated over 24,000 background checks across eight airports.

Initially, Andreasen avoided the public sector due to its lengthy sales cycles and high costs. But with strong revenue growth (€710K gross profit in 2025) and increasing brand recognition, P-Secure is now actively pursuing government agencies.

The investment comes as geopolitical tensions and cyber threats push organizations to prioritize human-centric security.

“The geopolitical situation, rising threat levels, and the growing risk of cyberattacks and espionage mean that security is increasingly about people – not just technology. Authorities and companies responsible for critical infrastructure and vital societal functions need far more systematic and scalable processes for background checks and security clearances. P-Secure is strongly positioned to address exactly this challenge – not just in Denmark, but across Europe,”
