"During our analysis of the Nordic cybersecurity market, we identified a compelling strategic opportunity at the intersection of identity security and intelligent automation. As AI agents increasingly interact with digital infrastructure, identity and access management must evolve to govern machines with the same precision as humans. The Nordic market lacks a category-defining leader in this space. With deep Microsoft-centric expertise, a proven gravitational pull on talent, and a culture built for innovation, Fortytwo is uniquely positioned to set the benchmark for identity security across the region." says Mathias Wille, Director at Credo Partners.
Invests to provide capacity and to build on a solid foundation
Founded by Robert Darre-Nilsen and Remi Vandemir, Fortytwo now delivers critical infrastructure for identity and security to some of Norway’s most complex organisations. The company has established itself as one of Norway’s most distinguished Microsoft Partners, and is an early mover in delivering agile products and services tailored to modern IT architectures.
“We will continue to provide deep expertise in identity, security, and cloud, while developing products that set the market standard. It’s about delivering security, productivity, and control in a digital world that’s moving faster than ever” says Darre-Nilsen.
Credo Partners has acquired Amesto Group’s stake in Fortytwo and formed a new partnership with the employees, who are reinvesting significantly and remain key shareholders. Together, Fortytwo and Credo will scale the service portfolio, develop new products, and accelerate growth across the Nordics. Several key hires have already been made, with further product launches planned for the autumn.
Credo Partners is aligned with Fortytwo’s vision and values, emphasizing the importance of preserving the company’s strong culture. With Credo as a partner, Fortytwo is set to scale its services while staying true to its core values: deep expertise, innovative solutions, a strong workplace culture, and a commitment to meeting the evolving identity and cloud security needs of its clients.
