Nanitor and Argo Partner to Bring Enterprise-Grade Cybersecurity to the Italian Market
Argo will introduce Nanitor’s Continuous Threat Exposure Management platform to Italian businesses, helping them strengthen their security posture and meet NIS2 and GDPR requirements.
REYKJAVÍK, Iceland and NOVARA, Italy, July 6, 2026. Nanitor, the enterprise-grade Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) platform, and Argo, the Italian managed services and cybersecurity consultancy, today announced a strategic partnership to bring Nanitor’s platform to the Italian market. Under the agreement, Argo will present and represent Nanitor across Italy, introducing the platform to small and medium-sized enterprises and large organisations seeking to strengthen their security posture and meet growing regulatory demands.
As European businesses face an increasingly complex threat landscape and tightening regulatory obligations under the NIS2 Directive, DORA, ISO27000 and GDPR, the partnership pairs Nanitor’s technology with Argo’s local expertise, language, and presence. Argo will showcase the Nanitor platform to its network of Italian clients and partners, providing implementation, guidance, and ongoing managed services.
At the core of the Nanitor platform are three security components: security configuration, vulnerability management, and patch intelligence, which collect real-time information across an organisation’s systems and prioritise the issues that matter most. By making exposure visible and actionable, the platform helps organisations focus their resources where they reduce the most risk.
A growing need for cybersecurity in Italy
Cybersecurity has moved to the top of the agenda for Italian organisations. The national transposition of the NIS2 Directive has expanded the number of companies subject to mandatory security and incident-reporting obligations, while ransomware and supply-chain attacks continue to target Italian businesses of every size. For many small and medium-sized enterprises, the backbone of the Italian economy, the challenge is not awareness but capacity: knowing where to start, what to prioritise, and how to demonstrate compliance.
The partnership is designed to meet that need directly. By combining Nanitor’s continuous, prioritised view of risk with Argo’s consulting and managed services, Italian organisations gain a clear, practical path to a stronger and more measurable security posture.
Leadership perspectives

"Italy is a vital market with a vibrant economy and thousands of organisations that deserve world-class protection, Argo brings exactly the local expertise, energy, and trusted relationships we look for in a partner. Together we can give Italian businesses the visibility and prioritisation they need to stay ahead of threats and meet their regulatory obligations with confidence. We are excited about what this partnership will achieve and about the long-term future we are building together in Italy."
Maurizio Falzone, Founder and Director of Argo, said:

"Bringing Nanitor to Italy is a natural step for us. Our clients are asking for clarity in a landscape that grows more complex by the day, and Nanitor gives them precisely that: a clear view of their exposure and a way to act on it. This partnership lets us pair a best-in-class platform with the local presence, language, and service that Italian companies value. We see this as the beginning of a lasting collaboration that will help raise the cybersecurity standard across the country."
Recognition in the European market
The partnership comes as Nanitor receives fresh European recognition. On 1 July 2026, the European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO) placed Nanitor in the European Leaders Area for Vulnerability Management in its CyberHive Matrix 2026. Published to mark ECSO’s 10th anniversary, the CyberHive Matrix is an independent, transparent map of Europe’s cybersecurity market. Being named a Leader is external recognition of something Nanitor’s customers and partners have helped build: a platform that delivers real clarity and control over the entire attack surface.
Looking ahead
In the coming months, Argo will present Nanitor to Italian organisations through direct engagement, events, and its managed services offering. Both companies see the partnership as a long-term commitment to the Italian market, with plans to expand their joint reach and deepen the support available to customers as the regulatory and threat environment continues to evolve.
