Gridheart, a provider of cloud-based cybersecurity solutions for MSPs in the Nordic region, is expanding its cybersecurity offering with OpenText Cybersecurity.

OpenText portfolio expands Gridheart’s Nordic MSP offering

Via the partnership, MSPs across the Nordics will gain access to OpenText’s SMB security portfolio through Gridheart.

This will enable MSPs to offer customers a unified, end-to-end approach to cyber resilience that spans prevention, detection, response, recovery, investigation, and compliance.

“We are delighted to welcome Gridheart to the OpenText SMB family as a valued distribution partner across the Nordic region,” said Clare Shipston, the senior manager of channel sales at OpenText Cybersecurity. “Gridheart has built a strong reputation for enabling MSPs to deliver outstanding cybersecurity outcomes, making them an excellent fit for our mission of helping organizations protect, manage, and grow their digital businesses.”

Shipston adds: “Together, we look forward to expanding access to OpenText’s award-winning SMB portfolio, empowering partners with innovative solutions that strengthen cyber resilience, simplify compliance, and drive business success for customers throughout the Nordics.”

Partnership targets end-to-end cyber resilience and compliance

The OpenText Cybersecurity platform is powered by real-time, contextual threat intelligence to provide partners with high-efficacy products alongside a simplified, compliant security experience.

OpenText offers a holistic portfolio built to strengthen cyber resilience and simplify compliance for MSPs supporting customers who need to manage business risk and demonstrate strong security posture.

“OpenText brings a level of depth and breadth to our security portfolio that few vendors can match,” said Carl Hagström, CEO of Gridheart.

“As MSPs take on more responsibility for their customers’ end-to-end resilience – from prevention all the way through to recovery and compliance – having a single, trusted platform like OpenText’s makes that job significantly easier. We’re excited to give our partners access to a portfolio built for exactly the challenges they’re facing today,” Hagström adds.

Gridheart adds human risk intelligence through uHealth

Gridheart also recently introduced uHealth, a new Human Risk Intelligence product that helps MSPs show where customer risk is building, prioritize action, and demonstrate progress over time.

The solution connects real-world signals across awareness, identity hygiene, credential exposure, and access, helping MSPs turn human risk insight into action.

Partners will benefit from stronger customer reviews, prioritize action, and build more value around the human risk services already delivered.

The uHealth solution assesses each user across four areas:

  • Target value: How likely the user may be to attract attacks based on factors like role, influence, or exposure.
  • Awareness: How the user performs across training, phishing simulations, and threat recognition.
  • Hygiene: Whether identity weaknesses exist, such as exposed credentials, old passwords, or missing MFA.
  • Access: Whether the user’s privileges, applications, or access levels increase the potential impact of compromise.

The solution is available to Gridheart partners through its partnership with usecure.
