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?
The number of our successful projects has grown steadily – despite the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine.
However, since 2024, the global situation has changed significantly:

• 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.
