S21sec was founded as the first Iberian cybersecurity company in 2000.
The company offers services needed for digital transformation processes that are reshaping businesses, adapting and evolving their service portfolio to cover the complete NIST framework (National Institute of Standards and Technology of the United States). S21sec covers the phases of identification, protection, detection, response, and recovery.
In 2008, S21sec created the eCrime & Counter Threat Intelligence Department.
In late 2014, Portugal-based Sonae bought S21sec.[1]
In 2018, SONAE IM acquired Nextel S.A. and merged it with S21sec, creating the biggest Iberian cybersecurity company.[citation needed]
In 2021, Thales signed an agreement with Sonae IM to sell Maxive Cybersecurity, a holding company that aggregated S21sec and its sister company Excellium, for 120 million euros.[2][3]
