About WaverSec
Founded by European engineers with a passion for privacy and security. We're building the email protection solution we always wanted to use.
Meet the team
The WaverSec creators previously built enterprise email misdirection prevention at a cybersecurity and privacy company. After that chapter closed, they rebuilt the concept from scratch with a B2B focus, privacy-first architecture, and modern ML/NLP/AI at the core. We are R&D-first and committed to staying self-funded.

Built with Purpose, in the EU
Engineering and R&D are at the core of how we build, validate, and ship.
R&D First
Every detection engine, policy rule, and ML/NLP model is developed entirely in-house. No black-box dependencies, no third-party detection APIs. We own every line of code.
Pragmatic Security
Local-first means pragmatic security. We don't receive, store, or have access to your emails. Our backend stores only organization configurations and anonymized metrics.
Self-Funded & Indie
Entirely self-funded. No venture capital, no investor pressure. Small team, big ambitions. Built by engineers, we ship fast, iterate often, and stay close to our users.
Made in the EU
Founded by European engineers, WaverSec Protect is developed with GDPR requirements built-in—not bolted on. Privacy-first from the start.
Maximum Portability
The same compute engine runs natively on-device and server-side for API-based deployments. One codebase, any runtime, which lets us ship novel solutions quickly without retooling.
In-Depth Test Coverage
We leverage AI-assisted testing to achieve comprehensive coverage. Combinatorial test generation, property-based testing, and automated fuzzing catch edge cases early, so we can move fast while delivering high-quality releases.
