About us

Security is more than a profession for us

We have spent our careers where security really matters: in national defence, in the police and in companies' information security. At Foregon we do the same work for your company: warmly, directly and so that things actually get better.

The Foregon team

A team with an unusual background

Our backgrounds are in national defence, the police and law. What unites us: we are used to working in situations where there is no room for mistakes. That is why we see risks realistically, speak plainly and focus on what really protects.

Zane Nieminen

Information security specialist

  • Special forces
  • Technical security
  • Risk management
  • OSINT
  • Security training

Zane is a former professional soldier who has served in the special forces of Ukraine’s marine infantry, where threats are real and decisions have to be made quickly but carefully. The same mindset guides his information security work today: first a clear picture of the situation, then the actions that matter most.

At Foregon, Zane works on technical security and risk management. He finds out what is visible about a company from the outside, what an attacker would grab first and what it would mean for the business. His strengths also include security leadership and training staff.

You typically work with Zane when you want to know which risks to tackle first, when staff need training to spot scams, or when management wants to practise acting in a crisis. He turns complex risks into clear actions that even a small company can carry out.

Oskari Heinonen

Information security specialist

  • Defence Forces
  • Police background
  • Networks and cloud
  • Technical security
  • ISO 27001 and NIS2

Oskari is a former police officer and an information and communications technology engineer by training, specialising in networks and cyber security. He has worked in the private and public sectors as a technical security analyst and an information security manager.

At Foregon, Oskari focuses on technical security and how it is led: the settings of Microsoft 365 and cloud environments, networks and devices. He knows what ISO/IEC 27001 and NIS2 require of how information security is led, and his experience as a security manager in demanding environments shows in solutions that work in everyday life and do not stay on paper.

You typically work with Oskari when cloud services need to be put in order, when a customer or NIS2 requires proof of how security is managed, or when you need an outsourced security officer.

Moona Kaitonen

Data protection specialist

  • Data protection
  • Law
  • Compliance
  • Development and leadership

Moona is Foregon’s data protection specialist and Data Protection Officer. Moona is responsible for the compliance of Foregon’s operations and has wide experience of development and management roles in various industries.

Moona knows legal questions from practice, both at a law firm and as a service manager in a wellbeing services county. That experience gives a strong foundation for interpreting regulation and requirements so that they turn into clear, practical steps.

You typically work with Moona when you want to make sure personal data is handled in line with data protection law, when you need a privacy notice, a data processing agreement or a record of processing activities, or when new regulation has to be turned into everyday steps for your own company.

Our story

Why Foregon exists

Foregon was born from a simple observation: companies are often left on their own with information security. There are either heavy consulting projects or scary sales pitches, but rarely a person who explains things clearly and helps in practice.

For us, security has always been about taking care of people. We learned that as police officers, in national defence, in social and health care and in law. We bring the same attitude to every customer relationship: we don't disappear after the report, we stay by your side.

Today we help companies keep their business running in a changing world, whether it is about scam emails, customers' requirements or adopting AI. The best solutions are created together, which is why we work with you, not just for you.

Our vision

Every company deserves information security that works

Our mission is to help especially small and medium-sized businesses build a safe and sustainable environment where the business can grow on trust. Information security is not only a matter for large organisations, it is a basic condition for every company's success.

We help you identify risks, protect critical information and ensure continuity even when everyday life becomes unpredictable. We do it clearly, understandably and without unnecessary complexity.

We are guided by the same idea: security is a human act that is created together. When information security works, it creates stability, credibility and room to grow.

Why Foregon?

Our experience is our strength

Four reasons why we are a good choice for your security needs.

A unique perspective

Our team combines experience of civilian and military security, law, social services and critical health care roles. We understand security challenges broadly.

Proven expertise

We don't just consult, we have worked as specialists, managers and security leaders ourselves. That is why our solutions are aligned with your business goals.

Straight talk

You always work directly with a specialist who takes personal responsibility for the results. We tell you things straight, also when something isn't worth doing.

People at the centre

Information security is above all about protecting people. We focus on the human side of security so that it also works in practice.

Values

The values that guide our work

They define how we treat our customers, build trust and develop our skills.

Commitment

We take personal responsibility for every project and decision. Commitment shows in quality and long-term cooperation.

Practicality

Our solutions do not stay in plans or reports. Everything aims at security that works in everyday life and creates concrete value.

People first

We design solutions with people's needs, behaviour and interaction in mind, so that security works both in the systems and in practice.

Innovation

We challenge the usual ways of working and keep looking for new, more effective ways to improve security.

Responsibility

We act ethically, consider the wider societal perspective and build security that holds up in a crisis too.

Collaboration

Security is created by working together. We listen, work closely together and build trust that lasts.

I want every one of our customers to sleep soundly at night. Good information security is not about fear. It is the certainty that things are in order and help is close if something happens.
