“The development of our German team has been remarkable. The DACH region is a strategic growth market for us—not only due to rising cyber threats, but also because of geopolitical shifts and increasing regulatory demands,” says Steven Dondorp, Founder and CEO of Northwave. “We’re proud of the dedication and expertise of our team in Leipzig.”

Over the past few years, Northwave Germany has become a serious contender in the cyber security market, now serving prominent clients across various sectors—including industry, media, healthcare, financial services, and public institutions. Its combination of local presence, rapid response capabilities, and deep European expertise gives companies in the DACH region a critical edge in securing their digital infrastructure. The service portfolio spans Incident Response, Security Testing & Consulting, Managed Detection & Response (SOC Monitoring), and Awareness & Behaviour Training.

Special recognition goes to Eileen Walther, who has led the development of the German office since its inception, transforming it into a high-performing location. Her regional commitment, close customer relationships, and strategic vision have made Northwave Germany a trusted partner for cyber resilience in the DACH region.

“We’re not just an incident response provider—we help companies build lasting defenses against cyber risks. Our goal is to make security understandable, effective, and human. I’m thrilled with how our team has evolved and highly motivated to take the next steps together with our colleagues and partners,” says Eileen Walther.

Northwave Germany looks back on five successful years—and ahead to the future: with a growing team, new partnerships, and a clear focus on the needs of medium-sized and large enterprises in the DACH region. Today, Germany is not only a strong location, but also a key growth driver for the entire Northwave Group.
