In 2006, Thomas and Alice Grønne established RespektIT A/S, while René Bukrinsky started Credocom A/S. The two companies joined forces in 2012 and have since then become one of the leading and most trusted Danish consultancy firms within network and security. “Over the years, we’ve seen a huge variety of issues in a wide range of industries, which means that we today have many solutions up our sleeves in order to help in a way that is suitable for each individual company,” explains Thomas Grønne. Credocom is focused on three main areas: security, network and datacentres. “Our view on cyber security is wide ranging.

We know about the various weak links and pitfalls of them, and have come up with a variety of solutions that actually make these solutions cost-effective, versatile and extremely secure.
