Heimdal, Elovade expand cybersecurity partnership into DACH

Heimdal and Elovade are extending their European partnership into Germany, Austria and Switzerland, giving MSPs in the region access to a unified security platform for prevention, detection and response. The launch comes as AI accelerates attacks and data sovereignty concerns shape buying decisions across regulated industries.

Why it matters: - MSPs in the DACH region are under pressure to defend customers faster while juggling multiple disconnected tools. - The partnership gives them one security stack for prevention, detection and response, which can simplify operations and speed up response time. - The move also targets buyers with strict data sovereignty requirements, including public sector, healthcare and financial services customers.

What happened: - Heimdal announced a partnership with Elovade to bring Heimdal's unified security platform to MSPs across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. - Elovade has 250 experts across five countries and will distribute Heimdal through its DACH channel. - The companies are presenting the partnership at it-sa Expo & Congress in Nuremberg on October 27 to 29.

The details: - The partnership extends a relationship that began a decade ago in the UK through Brigantia, now Elovade UK&I. - The collaboration expanded into the Nordic region through Elovade Group in March 2026. - DACH is the third market where Heimdal and Elovade are jointly bringing the platform to MSPs. - DACH is also the first launch done alongside an established European channel presence already in place. - Heimdal's platform for DACH partners includes endpoint security, DNS security, email security, Microsoft 365 security, automated patch management, privilege management, application control, MXDR and threat hunting. - Partners access the platform through a single console and a single vendor relationship. - Elovade is also providing technical enablement, sales and marketing support, and onboarding resources. - Heimdal says more details are available on Elovade's Heimdal partner page. - Heimdal is European-founded and European-funded, with EU-based data centers. - Heimdal has more than 12 fully integrated products, protects over 4 million endpoints, and is used by more than 20,000 organizations and 2,000 MSPs in more than 40 countries.

Between the lines: - The partnership reflects a broader shift toward platform consolidation as AI increases the speed of attacks. - Jesper Frederiksen, Heimdal's CEO, said attackers are moving faster while many defenders still rely on five or six tools that do not share data. - Philip Weber, Elovade's CEO, said the company has long-standing experience building joint channel offerings in the UK and Nordic markets. - The emphasis on EU-based data centers suggests Heimdal is positioning itself for buyers that want security vendors aligned with European data rules.

What's next: - Heimdal and Elovade will use it-sa Expo & Congress to introduce the partnership to the DACH channel community. - The companies are likely to lean on Elovade's channel network to recruit MSPs and IT service providers across the region. - DACH partners can seek full partnership details through Elovade's Heimdal partner page.

The bottom line: - Heimdal is betting that a single, Europe-based security platform will resonate with DACH MSPs looking to simplify operations and meet tighter data and compliance expectations.
