Sword Group has been selected as part of the ATOS-led consortium un­der the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Digital Services (DG DIGIT) FREIA Lot 1 – Technical Operations Services framework contract. This contract is worth around €300 million, and Sword plans to contribute between 10% and 15% of this revenue.

We are proud to support DG DIGIT in strengthening the security and resilience of European di­gital infrastructures." said Dieter ROGIERS, CEO at Sword BeNeLux.

The FREIA Lot 1 framework focuses on technical operational services, inclu­ding cybersecurity operations, incident response, and the protection of com­plex IT and cloud environments.
