As cybersecurity becomes a strategic priority across Europe, Uniqkey is reinforcing its board with one of Denmark’s most experienced industry leaders. Søren Laustrup will help build a European counterweight to global players and contribute to a stronger digital defence at a time defined by hybrid warfare, stricter regulation, and the urgent need for European solutions.
A strategic appointment in turbulent times
With geopolitical tensions rising and digital sovereignty now at the top of the EU agenda, Uniqkey – Europe’s leading password and access management platform – is proud to announce that Søren Laustrup has joined its board of directors.
Laustrup brings a rare combination of technical insight and commercial expertise. As the founder of Logpoint, one of Europe’s leading SIEM platforms recently acquired by an international investment fund, and as an active investor in companies such as Muninn.ai and ticura.io, he has a proven track record of scaling European cybersecurity ventures globally.
CEO statement
“Bringing Søren onboard is not just a strengthening of our board – it is a strategic move at a time when the demand for strong, European cybersecurity solutions has never been greater,” says Hakan Yagci, CEO and founder of Uniqkey.
“Søren understands the market and the threat landscape better than most, and he has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to build and scale solutions that both customers and partners can trust.”
Accelerating growth across Europe
Uniqkey is currently experiencing strong growth, driven by the EU’s NIS2 directive and the geopolitical reality where hybrid warfare and digital infrastructure have become central security concerns. In his role, Laustrup will support Uniqkey in accelerating commercial growth, forging strategic alliances, and expanding our European partner network.
Søren Laustrup on joining Uniqkey
“It is rare to see such a strong Danish team with both the ambition and capability to create a European alternative to American and Asian players in cybersecurity,” says Søren Laustrup.
“Uniqkey has addressed a critical need in the market with a solution that unites security, compliance, and European data sovereignty.”
Looking ahead
Uniqkey has already exceeded commercial expectations for the first half of 2025 and enters the second half of the year with high ambitions, driven by growing interest from customers, partners, and strategic alliances across Northern Europe.
With its combination of robust security, user-friendliness, and European compliance, Uniqkey has become the trusted choice for organisations in the Nordics, Benelux, and DACH regions. With Søren Laustrup onboard, we are set to accelerate our European expansion – with the ambition to give organisations back control and ownership of their security: simple, secure, and 100% European.
