Case
BDO’s customers get secure delivery with Conscia MDR
For the advisory and audit firm BDO, where client trust is crucial, cybersecurity is not just a technical requirement – it is a business necessity. When security became a strategic priority, BDO Sweden chose to collaborate with Conscia. A partnership that takes full responsibility for proactive monitoring, analysis, and responsive support.

Challenge: Need for a holistic perspective and accessible expertise
BDO handles confidential information for thousands of clients – data that must never be compromised. Increasingly, clients also require suppliers and partners to provide security services as part of their offering. As demands grow through EU regulations such as NIS2 and CRA, BDO needed a partner who could deliver continuous monitoring and expertise.
We manage large volumes of sensitive data. Conscia helps us secure our environments and customer data, so we can provide a safe service. Trust and security – and doing things properly – are very important to us and our clients.
Johan Ma
IT Security Manager, BDO
Solution: MDR with 24/7 SOC and continuous improvement
With ever-growing cyber threats, BDO’s need for a Security Operations Centre (SOC) provider also increased. Conscia is integrated into the organisation’s environment and can respond to alerts quickly and efficiently, while also working proactively on suspicious activity.
With Conscia’s MDR service, BDO receives:
- Proactive threat analysis and investigation
- 24/7 alarm monitoring, all year round
- Support in incident management and improvement recommendations
- Access to expert teams and a central customer portal
- Monthly reviews with prioritised action lists to structure security work
Conscia constantly pushes us to improve. It helps us maintain a high baseline and act quickly when something happens.
Anders Hernodh
CIO, BDO
Monthly collaboration creates structure and progress
Every month, Conscia’s team reviews BDO’s environment to identify vulnerabilities, prioritise actions, and deliver a concrete action plan. This becomes a natural part of the company’s continuous improvement work. It creates structure in a process that otherwise easily becomes reactive for many organisations. This means the security level is gradually strengthened and the organisation matures at the same pace.
It is a hygiene factor for us to have this level of security. Without it, we cannot deliver our services.

Conscia Cybersecurity
We embed security into every layer of your infrastructure, blocking threats before they disrupt, so you can stay focused on your business.
Result: Raised baseline, secure delivery and competitive advantage
Thanks to Conscia’s MDR solution, BDO has:
- Ensured compliance with client requirements
- Increased its security level compared to industry benchmarks
- Reduced the risk of data leaks and attacks
- Enabled rapid, informed response to incidents
I have previously worked with Conscia in areas other than security – in networks, LAN and WAN. When I joined BDO, I felt a great sense of relief and security knowing Conscia was here to help us.”
