Strengthen your cybersecurity with support of up to €60,000

The digitalization of business brings new opportunities but also increases risks. In 2025, the obligations arising from the NIS2 Directive and the new Cybersecurity Act will come into effect. This means that security measures will no longer be optional, but a legal requirement.

To help entrepreneurs adapt, the European Union is providing grants for projects that strengthen the security of IT systems and organizational processes.

• Available funding per project: from €7,500 to €60,000
• Support intensity: 50% of eligible costs
• Pre-financing: up to 50% of the approved amount
• Application deadline: November 21, 2025
• Eligible applicants: micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises registered in Croatia
• Project duration: up to 12 months
• Awarded funds are classified as de minimis aid

1. • 1. Certification and Compliance

     • Self-assessment of the current security status

     • Implementation of systems in line with international standards (ISO 27001, 27002, 27005, 22301, 27032)

     • Certification of the security management system

     2. Employee Training

     • Training on the implementation of security measures

     • Education for working in compliance with international standards

     • Programs to strengthen the security culture within the organization

     3. Security Testing and Audits

     • Penetration testing of networks, systems, and applications

     • Software vulnerability assessments

     • Testing using social engineering methods

     • Incident and attack response simulations

     The proposed project must include at least one activity from a minimum of two categories.

As a specialized IT partner, we can support you with:

• Conducting security tests and penetration analyses
• Organizing training sessions
• Consulting on compliance with regulations such as NIS2

One of the most requested activities is penetration testing – a simulated attack that identifies system vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by real attackers.

The most commonly discovered weaknesses include:

• Use of default or outdated passwords
• Open ports
• Outdated software and protocols
• Unprotected access to databases

The result of the testing is a detailed report with prioritized findings and recommendations to improve security.

This call allows companies to:

• Enhance the protection of their systems and data
• Prepare employees for new legal requirements
• Gain a competitive advantage
• Reduce the risk of increasingly frequent cyber threats
