Security — redefined!
ShedLight
ShedLight is an initiative of DieDefa GmbH, founded in 2024.
DieDefa itself was established in 2016 as a consulting company — with the ambition to act as a technological and organizational think tank, stepping in precisely where others fail or hesitate.
Our team consists of
- specialists in organizational structures and methodologies
- experts in technology and implementation
- security-cleared professionals
- free thinkers and freelancers
This diversity enables us to develop solutions that are not standard market practice, but innovative, non-standard, and market-changing.
Our Commitment
- It is not technology that sets the limits — but imagination.
- Technology must not dictate the organization.
- Ecology and economy must be made compatible.
Why ShedLight?
Die Zahl unserer erfolgreichen Projekte ist stetig gewachsen – trotz Corona und trotz Ukraine-Konflikt.
Doch seit 2024 hat sich die Weltlage maßgeblich verändert:
- Hybrid and cyber threats are increasing.
- Established alliances are being challenged, while new ones need to be forged.
- “Trust” has turned into “Zero Trust"
Our Approach
Europe is currently too reliant on external, non-European structures in many sectors
- Base systems (Microsoft, Google – dependency close to 100%)
- Cloud structures (over 90%)
- Cyber Intelligence & Security (currently around 99% reliance on the U.S.)
With ShedLight, we create a counterweight by developing European solutions to European challenges.
Our Capabilities
ShedLight functions as a think tank, creating a toolbox of innovative concepts and products:
- Cyber Intelligence: Early-warning systems, threat analysis
- Cybersecurity: Schutzsysteme, Resilienzprogramme
Communications
- VIDICTO – an end-to-end encrypted communication system (video/text), scheduled for completion by September 2025, already in pilot operation with the German Prevention Congress (DE) and GreenRaven (UK/DK).
- NIS2 frameworks for small and medium-sized critical infrastructure enterprises
- More than 20 validated products for practical deployment in government and business
Partnerships and Collaborations
ShedLight is supported by a strong network:
- DieDefa GmbH & Partner (Germany)
- IWISEC GmbH
- GreenRaven Ltd. & Partner (UK, DK)
- a range of software companies from the European alliance
Our Mission
The objective is to provide non-U.S. products for daily use in public administration and industry — based on European software and European environments, without data leakage or external control.
