Pointsharp acquires Vemendo to expand its Identity and Access Management capabilities and strengthen its presence across Europe’s cybersecurity market.
Stockholm, 22nd April 2025 – Pointsharp, a Swedish Identity and Access Management (IAM) software provider, has acquired Stockholm-based Vemendo AB (“Vemendo”). Vemendo provides software for identity management, user provisioning, and lifecycle management, which enables user information to be up to date, identity information to be easily tracked within the organization, and for users to log in securely to multiple networks or systems. This synergistic acquisition presents a strong strategic fit with Pointsharp and aligns with the company’s growth strategy in the European Identity and Access Management software market. The acquisition of Vemendo marks Pointsharp’s fifth add-on acquisition since Main Capital Partners (“Main”) became a majority investor in November 2020. The combination is expected to complement and enhance Pointsharp’s IAM offerings, further strengthening its position in the Nordics and across the rest of Europe.
Vemendo’s offering of identity management, federation services, and identity provisioning software integrates well with Pointsharp’s existing solutions and strengthens the implementation of the company’s growth strategy. Vemendo serves a wide range of clients, focusing on the public sector and larger corporates in industrials, defence, and retail.
Through the acquisition, Pointsharp expands on the functionalities offered to existing and new clients across multiple industries.
