Background

About

A bit about who I am, what I enjoy building, and why security matters to me.

I'm Arvid Berndtsson, an information security lead and full-stack developer based in Malmö & Varberg, Sweden. I help companies keep data safe and build reliable software.

What I do

My focus is ISO 27001, SOC 2, risk management, data loss prevention, incident response, and modern web applications. I work across the full stack — from security architecture to hands-on development.

Happy to chat about security, engineering, or ideas.

Background

I studied computer science and information architecture at Malmö University, and security engineering at Blekinge Institute of Technology before that. I keep learning through courses and programs in security, compliance, and startup practice — from ISO 27001 and threat intelligence to accelerators like Minc and Drivhuset.
